How to do your makeup for a day at the beach
Planning on spending a day at the beach or pool? You want to have fun, look great and not have to worry about your hair and makeup? It’s super easy!
The perfect summer hair
Step one, choose a summer hairstyle. Why not try a side fishtail braid?
The fishtail braid is very popular right now and really easy to do. Here’s how:
-
Start by brushing your hair to one side. Separate it into two sections.
-
Take a thin piece from the section furthest from the back of your neck and cross it over the section closest to your face.
-
Do this again, but this time use a thin piece from the section closest to your neck and cross it over the section furthest from your face. Hold the sections firmly as you do this.
-
Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you’ve completed the braid.
-
Secure the end with an elastic. You can also loosen the braid by gently pulling it apart.
-
And that’s it for your hairstyle!

Step two, opt for a light look. For cute beach-perfect makeup, you’ll need:
