Beat The Heat
We’re sharing our best-kept holiday beauty secrets, the lightweight products we swear by for that fresh, effortless glow.
When it comes to holiday makeup, we always suggest keeping things light, breathable, and polished — the kind of look that enhances your natural features without feeling like effort. For skin, we reach for the Fenty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint. It offers soft, lightweight coverage with a subtle blur, giving you that smooth, even finish that works beautifully from sunny afternoons to evening dinners. It never feels heavy, which is exactly what you want on holiday.
To complete the look, we recommend adding a touch of long-lasting colour with a Wonder Skin lip tint. It gives a natural stain that stays put through beach days, cocktails, and late-night exploring — no constant reapplying, no fuss.
Imagine this moment: a slow morning at a beach club, sunlight reflecting off the water as you settle into a shaded cabana in your Thalia dress. Your skin looks softly polished from the Eaze Drop tint, your lips have that easy, lived-in wash of colour, and the entire look feels effortless. That’s how holiday makeup should be — simple, fresh, and made to move with you.
When you’re styling the Nysama Thalia dress for a holiday, we recommend leaning into a makeup look that enhances the dress’s soft, luminous presence. For colour, we encourage choosing tones that add dimension without overwhelming your look. On the lips, we advise opting for something glossy yet understated: the Rhode lip tint glaze in raspberry complements the Thalia’s elegance and brings a polished holiday glow.
When we style the Mahlah set, we love pairing its clean, minimal silhouette with a soft, radiant flush on the cheeks. And honestly, no product delivers that effortless glow quite like REFY’s cream blush. Here are the insider tips we always use — the ones that make the blush melt into your skin and complement the Mahlah beautifully.
Our first secret: your base must be dry. Whether you’re wearing skin tint or just moisturiser, let it set fully. REFY blush blends best on a surface that isn’t tacky, giving you that seamless finish that matches the Mahlah’s refined feel.
Instead of rubbing the product in, tap a tiny amount onto the apples of your cheeks and lift it upwards toward your temples. This creates a soft, natural lift that mirrors the elongated lines of the Mahlah top.
One of our favourite blush tricks is starting with the smallest dot. REFY is pigmented, so a tiny amount goes a long way. Begin sheer, then layer slowly. This gives you full control and keeps the look fresh, modern, and in harmony with the set’s simplicity.
If you want a soft-focus, romantic finish (perfect for daytime plans), use your fingertips to warm and melt the blush into the skin. For a sharper, more defined glow for evenings, use a dense brush to pat and blend. Both pair beautifully with the Mahlah — just choose based on your mood.
For a second-skin glow, we love tapping a tiny amount of leftover blush across the bridge of the nose. It ties the look together and gives a subtle sun-kissed warmth that feels holiday-ready — especially when wearing the Mahlah set outdoors.
This is our signature Nysama finishing touch: once your blush is blended, pair it with softly brushed-up brows using a lightweight brow gel. It balances the warmth on the cheeks and frames the face in a way that complements the Mahlah’s clean minimalism.
