Summer-fresh make-up at H&M

Fresh and flirty are key words for this summer’s make-up ‘by H&M’. Lush flower prints and delicious ice cream pastels inspire the chlorophyll and pastel colour palette. Applying tones to bare, sun-kissed skin without foundation, powder or blusher is a new, fun sensation. A sun protection cream is all you need and it works perfectly as a base for eye shadows too.

Eye shadows are grass or leaf green, forget-me-not blue, sun yellow or lilac and are sold in packs of two different shades to mix and match according to style and mood. Lip gloss and nail varnish come in raspberry pink or papaya.

H&M produces its own make-up and skincare products: by H&M. The product range has been created for fashion-conscious women and men and includes a wide selection of make-up products in carefully coordinated colours that are updated each season. The collection includes accessories such as brushes, make-up and toilet bags and body care products for both women and men. H&M’s in-house product range also includes make-up for the younger generation.
