Pretty Slick: Wet-Look Beauty for Summer
Photography Domen & Van De Velde
Styled by Lieve Gerrits
Whether emerging from an ocean swim or a dip in the pool, there’s a certain effortlessness to the resulting glistening skin and water-slicked hair. Before drying off, consider embracing the damp look favored on the runway this season by Versace, Chloé, and more. To imitate watersplashed dewiness, apply a flexible hold gel to towel-dried hair. Concentrating the product on the roots and combing through will create a sleek, modern look, while incorporating it evenly from roots to ends and tousling it with your hands produces a more laid-back, beachy effect. For the face, the key is to prep the skin with as much moisture as possible, layering toner, serum, and a face cream underneath glowenhancing makeup like an illuminating primer and liquid foundation. Going bolder, add gloss to your lips, cheeks, and eyelids for a high-shine finish. Perfect for beating the heat, the wet look will keep you cool, in all senses of the word.
