Are we entering the dog days of Summer? All I know is I want this season to laaaaast…and this coming from a non-sun loving gal. This Summer has been a collective relief, time to reunite with friends and family and enjoy time together outdoors. This Summer I’ve embraced everything SPF and was still looking for the perfect complement to my skincare routine…when I was introduced to Victoria Radford Beauty. Game changer! So below you are going to dive deep with me on how to get your dream Summer skin with Radford Beauty.
Again, my Summer skin routine consists of SPF, SPF and more SPF. I sometimes pop on concealer in the day and a touch of mascara. But after being introduced to the following Radford Beauty products…my Summer skincare routine has STEPPED UP!
Victoria Radford is a Toronto-based make-up artist and owner of ‘Radford’, a Toronto hair, makeup & skincare studio. With twenty years of celebrity makeup artistry and skin esthetician experience, she has worked along side beauty biz icons like Laura Mercier and Bobby Brown.
Her passion for skincare led her to start developing ingredient combinations in Korea and today, her collection contains skincare and makeup.
First, let’s talk about Radford Beauty, ‘Buff‘ | $50CDN
This award-winning biochemical and physical exfoliator has aloe vera as the main ingredient. So gentle, you can use for 20 minutes everyday. Simply apply to damp skin, gently massage, and rinse off to get brand-new-baby-looking skin. If you go to Radford for a facial, they use Buff to kick-start every facial. I have very sensitive skin, and this product does not irritate whatsoever.
Radford Beauty ‘Eye‘ | $45CDN
The Radford Beauty ‘Eye’, a visibly brightening, and hydrating repair cream offers intense hydration with a touch of golden glitz to optically brighten the eye area. And your eyes are not deceiving you – it is a very generous size for an eye cream – double the size of a regular eye cream. I love how it sinks into my skin and makes my eye area feel hydrated, plumped, and primed. It layers very well under concealer and if you need to travel light – you can use this as face moisturizer, too.
Radford Beauty ‘Glow‘ power primer| $45CDN
Ooooh, this is a gorgeous skin primer. The idea for this product came from Radford’s love of Armani’s Fluid Sheer. This love started her quest to create a product that gives a true lit-from-within look paired with skin care ingredients. Working hard to create a single shade that truly suits all skin tones…welcome, ‘Glow’!
A neutral, peachy warm tone with a beautiful iridescent sheen. You layer this primer over your moisturizer/SPF. It can be worn on the entire face or just where you’d like a little extra glow.
Radford Beauty ‘Tint‘ | $50CDN
Could this be the perfect tinted moisturizer?? It is definitely a top candidate for me. Radford Beauty’s, ‘Tint’, is a skincare-focused tinted moisturizer containing retinol palmate for smoothed skin over time. Coming in three shades, it is lightweight, layerable, and comfortable to wear. I like to mix this with Radford’s ‘Glow’ to create a perfectly glowy look.
Finally, the Radford Beauty ‘Multi-Liner‘ in Rosegold | $29CDN
Part of Radford’s makeup collection are her Multi-Liners. These waterproof gel liners smoothly go on your lips, waterline, and can be used as eyeliners, and lid primers. Inspired by MAC’s ‘Spice’ liner from back in the day, the Multi-liner in Rosegold has a slight iridescence, but offers a lovely soft and diffused colour payout. I am smitten with it as a lip liner – popping a touch around my lips gives them a soft volume. I can’t get enough of a multi-tasking product and this liner is perfect to pop in your Summer bag.
I love supporting female-owned and local companies, and Radford Beauty does not disappoint. If you’re looking to ramp up your Summer skin routine, you can order all of the above online.
