After taking a much needed summer break to recalibrate through our lives in quarantine, we're back! It's important to mention we never really left, just took some time-off to understand the ways in which we'll be going forward with producing and creating our content for the foreseeable future. Everything has halted, what's "normal"— that no longer applies. Although, there is always time for beauty. During this lead up to the last week of summer, some of our favorite Fraîche women got back to beauty basics.

Which many of us have been doing all summer season long, not just because we're still in the middle of the a pandemic but because if we can take anything from 2020 in the terms of beauty it has not been about the outer it's truly been about how we can find the beauty in our humanity, kindness and the nature of beauty. Much like singer/songwriter Diana Gordon, who took a curious selfie with a fresh face and simplistic approach with bone straight long dark hair and a deep maroon manicure. Keeping on the beauty basic trend, Megan Thee Stallion went for clean beauty, with red wine stained lips and a center parted long sleek braided ponytail with artful baby hairs.

While the rapper who's always icy Saweetie ditched the isolation of the indoors and went for a brown Bon Girl flex, with hi-Key glowing skin and a vibrant maraschino cherry pout, atop a gorgeous rooftop landscape. NoT to mention Ciara's postpartum beauty, no makeup, bold full brows, clear glossy lips and soft cornrow braids. See how our favorite BEATS of the Week chose to bid the summer reprieve adieu below:
