July means one thing: Wimbledon season!
Whether you love to play tennis or you’re happiest watching, a glowing, fresh and long-lasting make up look is the ideal accompaniment (as well as strawberries and cream).
And if you’re wondering what make up to wear on or off the tennis court, this is where we come in. “The Tenniscore trend has definitely made its way onto my TikTok For You Page recently,” says our Senior Social Media Executive, Chloe Cook. “Although it's mainly focused on fashion at the moment (think: preppy details and crisp white tailoring), I’m expecting beauty looks to do the rounds next.”
“Tenniscore is coming for beauty, especially after seeing Zendaya-inspired looks from Challengers, and I predict we’ll see a lot of glazed doughnut skin and ponytail braids,” the social expert adds.
Game. Set. Glow...
