PAC Cosmetics: Kissed by the sun

PAC Cosmetics by Martha Tilaar is now available in a fascinating range of hues and tones that says you’re a summer child. They are formulated specially for Asian skin so everything you put on your face is guaranteed to shun oil, creasing, and clogging. PAC’s foundation also protects skin from the harsh UV rays and the warm climate that tend to open pores.

PAC has just the right shade and tone for every skin color. If you want to complement your overall tan, choose the one that matches the most exposed part of your neck. This lets you achieve a flawless and seamless and just-back-from-the-beach look.

PAC eye makeup — from liners to shadows to mascara — strives for a lighter, more open-eyed look for summer. PAC eye shadows give you colors so intense but when applied look like a hint or a whisper. And even when temperatures climb, they won’t run, smudge or worse, crease. They’ll stay fresh and even all day long. No need to retouch. For better definition, eye liner is a must. PAC eye pencils let you do one full sweep from the inner to the outer eye corner.

For lips, PAC lip colors have the most gorgeous hues that are formulated to stay intense. Finish with a bit of shimmer with PAC lip gloss.

Complete the sunkissed look with a light brush of PAC face powder and you’re set to bloom even as others wilt
