August may be an uncomfortable temperature for much of the Northern Hemisphere, but that doesn’t mean Mass Appeal Magazine’s readers can’t still look good. Fashion and beauty tips are abundant. Find integrity in products while also gaining inspiration from others. Not a bead of sweat will distract from the beam of light that is embracing personal style.  

Style

“Atelier” introduces readers to the swimwear brand, Lybethras. Their designs are a perfect addition to the summer wardrobe, especially when a pool or ocean is close by. Liza Garcia is here to help us cool off and look good. The swimwear company also prides itself on sustainability.  

This brings readers to this month’s “Grooming Lounge.” Kim Apodaca keeps men looking fresh while caring for the planet. Apodaca writes on, “resurfaced men’s fashion trends to look out for when secondhand shopping.” Of course, many of these trends are references to other eras, specifically the Sixties and Seventies.  

If those eras of fashion inspire you, we recommend reading August’s “Style Icon.” Hannah Benson shines a light on the clothing of two of music’s greats—Stevie Nicks and Elton John. Their styles—infused with witch-like dresses and glittery ensembles—respectively, still shine.  

If one leans towards John’s feminine pieces, they will also find solace in “Threads.” Alissa Musto celebrates the recent release of the Barbie movie with a Barbie-inspired fashion guide. It’s time to think pink.  

The messaging of one’s outfit does not go unnoticed. Teshin Rashid highlights this power in August’s “Dress Code.” While one may feel apprehensive about what to wear to meet a significant other’s parent for the first time, do not fear. Rashid shows readers how to “make a good impression while feeling comfortable and expressing one’s personal style.” 

Beauty

If one is wanting to look refreshed and bear gifts when meeting the parents, “Beauty Bar” is here to be of service. Valerie Aparovich provides a face mask recipe featuring the in-season fruit, apricots. And mixology consultant, Phëlix Crittenden imparts on us a bluegrass-inspired apricot cocktail.  

The skincare tips don’t stop there. Sarah Abraham walks readers through a streamlined routine. In “Skinn,” Abraham details “the most essential products for maintaining healthy and glowing skin,” to use and still get out the door on time.  

Don’t forget the scalp when it comes to maintenance. August’s “Hair Affair” wants to maintain the integrity of our hair with haircare ingredient knowledge. Ghanima Abdullah wallks readers through chemicals to look out for and the ones to embrace.  

Lastly, when it comes to makeup, many want to have fun, which is where beauty expert, Harman Awal, comes in. In “Face” readers are introduced to color-changing makeup products. Get the details and magic in the August issue.
