‘Tis the season for a holiday in the Greek isles, where whitewashed buildings decorate steep cliffs like pearls, the water is brilliant blue, and ropy beach hair comes from sea air (not a bottle). Locals in Mykonos and Santorini told us their top beauty secret is to do as their moms and grandmothers did—use the region’s natural resources…

While we do encourage a fresh face to beat the heat, a makeup-free canvas is the perfect jumping-off point for a punchy lip color. To bring your warm-weather look to life, we consulted a host of celebrity makeup artists to dish on their favorite seasonal shades, from striking orangey-reds to pretty peachy-pinks.
