Brace yourselves for a summer of Instajealously — the fashion world has officially gone on vacation. But as the stars kick back and enjoy the good life, their social media updates are gold for updating your summer beauty look. Take a look how to channel Gisele’s laid-back, beachy style.
The Brazilian supermodel, who turned 36, uploaded a birthday selfie to Instagram in which she shows off her flawless summer look. Her photo is a lesson in the benefits of summer highlights, with the light blonde streaks running through her hair adding the appearance of body and texture.
Her makeup, too, is a masterclass in how to pull off a polished look when the temperature starts to rise.
Gisele appears to have opted for a makeup-free base, but if this sounds too drastic for real life then consider a primer such as the ‘Bronzing Primer’ ($74) from Tom Ford’s new ‘Soleil Color Collection’ to moisturize and add a touch of luminosity to the skin.
It looks like Gisele might have also used a highlighter to attract light to her brow bone, the tops of her eye sockets and her cheekbones, so you might want to follow suit, using something like Chanel’s new ‘Perles et Fantasies’ highlighter ($70), directly inspired by Gabrielle Chanel’s favorite pearl necklaces, featuring a pink pearly powder to brighten and a white shade to highlight.
Transparent hues are perfect for a discreet summer daytime look, so take a leaf out of Gisele’s book and apply a taupe shadow to the eye. Palettes are ideal for this kind of look, allowing you to blend away to achieve the level of definition you desire — try Sephora’s new ‘Colorful 5 Eye Conturing Palette’ ($25), which comes in a variety of neutral hues. Curled lashes and a few layers of black mascara are all it takes to complete the eye makeup for this look.
Finish off with a coat of summery lipstick in a discreet pink, peach or transparent shade. Gisele has opted for a dusky rose color — channel her style with something discreet like Bare Minerals’ ‘Gen Nude Radiant Lipstick’ ($20), which comes in a range of subtle pinks. Add some fun earrings and an on-point choker necklace and you’re ready to hit the catwalk! Sorry, beach.
Natasha Poly has chosen Italy as her summer destination — the snow-white beaches and bluer-than-blue Mediterranean waters of Sardinia to be precise. The supermodel, who was discovered in 2000, recently posted several envy-inducing vacation snaps to Instagram.
Her latest post shows the slender blonde on a yacht in a paradisiacal setting. Merrily jumping on a pile of pillows, she rocks an ethnic chic outfit featuring a slick pair of sunglasses and an airy long-sleeved white dress by Lemlem. The brand founded by fellow model Liya Kebede offers cotton clothing hand-made by Ethiopian traditional weavers. The dress featuring thin blue stripes and a tiny fringe seamlessly blends into the landscape.
Russian model Natasha Poly has graced the 2012 edition of the Pirelli calendar.
The face of L’Oréal Paris, she will also star in the Twin-Set FW 2016 ad campaign as well as the SS 2016 La Perla and Versace campaigns.
Pauline Hoarau, 22, has already walked for major fashion houses including Valentino, Chanel, Armani and Jean Paul Gaultier both in ready-to-wear and couture shows. It only seems fair to say that she is enjoying a well-deserved holiday.
These last days, the model has been sharing snaps of her fun activities with her 63,000 Instagram followers. Sometimes
in the middle of a forest, Hoarau never seems to stop.
Her latest post shows the model hiking in Mafate, a remote heavenly spot on the island. The model went for a natural beauty look and a simple utilitarian outfit perfect for this type of outdoor activity. Pauline was photographed sitting on a rock near a stream of water wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top featuring a printed message. A sweatshirt tied around her waist and a scarf around her neck complete the look.
The French model was discovered through the prestigious international modeling contest Elite Model Look. She has since scored campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, H&M and Jason Wu.
French model Cindy Bruna is combining sport with taking it easy on vacation in the south of France. Boat trips, lounging on the beach, diving and horse-riding: all these ingredients combine to make a simple family vacation for the internationally famous French model Cindy Bruna. This leggy Frenchie has headed for the south of France, where she grew up, so she can recharge her batteries before the fashion industry gets back into gear in the fall.
On the fashion front, the model was dressed for the part with riding pants and a comfy gray sweatshirt that left room to move. And unlike common mortals, she looks great in her horse-riding helmet.
In just a few short years, Cindy has seen her career take off, with covers for big magazines and photo shoots for fashion heavyweights like Prada. But she’s had the most success on the catwalk, as she’s been one of the most requested models during the various Fashion Weeks. Big name designers and brands such as Elie Saab, Jean Paul Gaultier, Balmain, Alexandre Vauthier, can’t get enough of Cindy!
Hungarian model Barbara Palvin doesn’t mention where she is on vacation, but has posted a pic of herself in a glamorous rocker ensemble.
The ultra-slim blonde with the porcelain complexion opted for an all-black look for her plane trip which sees her looking radiant in a rocker-chick outfit.
Barbara Palvin has walked for Chanel, Jeremy Scott, and Topshop Unique, but brands such as H&M, and Armani are most interested in her for their ad campaigns.
Her perfect features and faultless skin have made her a go-to model in the beauty industry, winning her campaigns for Chanel Beauty, Calvin Klein, and Cartier perfumes, plus an ambassador contract with L’Oréal Paris. And fashion magazines around the globe, such as Elle Hungary, InStyle Korea, Allure Russia, and Elle Italia, have been keen to put her on their covers.
