Summer beauty: How to lighten and brighten your look this season

Out with the full coverage foundations and in with the lighter products! Here are some tips on how to lighten (and brighten) up your look but still look put-together in the sweltering Hong Kong heat.

This can be complemented by a judicious dab of Estee Lauder’s Bronze Goddess Powder Bronzer.
