Even though the summer season will likely look different this year, you're probably still looking for that unmistakable glow that comes from spending a few uninterrupted weeks on a beach. Luckily, there are ways to achieve the same shimmer without spending any time seaside. Meet the e.l.f. Cosmetics Retro Paradise Collection.

The Retro Paradise Collection is the brainchild of the five 2019 Beautyscape winners, Alissa Holmes, Diana Curmei, Elicia Aragon, Jessa Green and Valeria Loren. (Beautyscape is a competition that gives up-and-coming influencers and content creators the chance to land the ultimate career-making opportunity.) Their collaboration with e.l.f. Cosmetics was directly inspired by the fourth annual Beautyscape's location: the Bahamas. The tropical, vibrant colors and textures were born from the beachy lifestyle they experienced while competing. Thanks to them, you can now achieve that perfect paradise glow — without the actual beach.
