This season, it’s all about doing less—but with intention. From multitasking skincare to lightweight complexion tints and subtle washes of color, summer 2025 beauty trends lean into radiance over perfection. Think clean, dewy skin, soft definition, and sunlit warmth. Whether you’re heading out to a rooftop brunch or simply basking in golden hour, this edit helps you get that Riviera glow—with minimal effort, maximum impact.

This visual story is a women-led collaboration between Brigitte Segura and photographer Joy Strotz, blending thoughtful curation with an intuitive, natural lens to capture the essence of effortless summer beauty. From concept to execution, every detail was shaped by a shared vision of celebrating confidence, creativity, and individuality. With an all-female team—including our talented makeup artist—this Riviera editorial is a true celebration of women behind and in front of the camera, shaping beauty narratives with intention and authenticity.

“The overall makeup look is all about radiant, effortless beauty with a strong focus on skin prep,” says makeup artist Shery Lozani from the phoshoot. “We swapped heavy foundations for lightweight, hydrating tinted moisturizers and creamy highlighters to let the skin’s natural glow shine through. Dewy skin is the star this season—soft, fresh, and glowing. We added playful pops of pastel on the eyes and a sun-kissed blush swept across the cheeks and nose for that fresh-from-the-beach flush. Juicy, glossy lips and feathered brows keep the look light and natural, so it feels modern and approachable—perfect for summer.”
