Quick, Fresh and Sexy Summer looks done in a Flash!

Summer has definitely arrived in all its hot and humid glory. This is definitely not the time when you want to wear a pound of make-up only to sweat it off. Well, what can we wear in order to look beautiful and sexy without looking overdone and streaky? Here are a few tips that can help you continue to look glam this summer.

To Dew or not to Dew?

As a make-up artist, I always love glowy skin. Beautiful, clean, and dewy skin always gives you a youthful look and minimizes the appearance of lines. If you tend to have oily skin, try a oil-free tinted moisturizer. Remember, less is more.


Try:

Normal to Dry Skin

Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer

Oily Skin

Laura Mercier Oil-Free SPF 20 Tinted Moisturizer

Pouty Lips

For a beautiful, natural, and moisturized pouty lip, use a lipstick layered with a lip balm or lip gloss on top. Use a tinted lip balm that naturally resembles your own.


Try Using:

Korres Tinted Lip Butter

Rosebud Perfume Co. Lip Balm

Natural Blushing Cheeks

Nothing says healthy like good ole fashion rosy cheeks. Try using a cheek stain which gives a dewy look or powder blush on the apples of your cheeks.

My favorite products by far to achieve this look are:

Tarte Cheek Stains in Blissful or Tipsy

Tarte Cheek Stains  

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush 

Dare to be Bold 

Summer is all about color. To take your look to the next level, try using a brighter lip color. Orange-red lips are totally in this summer. Let your inner vixen shine through by wearing this bold color!

Dare to try:

M.A.C. Cosmetics lipstick in Lady Danger 

Nars Lipgloss in Wonder

Wing it!

Nothing makes your eyes more noticeable than beautiful winged eyeliner. For a  a bolder look, try this classy eye look with a splash of color. For a classic look, use black liquid liner. Take a look at my previous blog Liquid Liner 101 on how to create a perfect wing liner.


Wing it with:

Nars Single Eyeshadow in Daphne


M.A.C. Cosmetics Superslick Liquid Eyeliner


Liquid Last Eyeliner

Always remember to finish your look with one or two coats of mascara. If your mascara tends to run due to humidity, try a water-proof mascara. I have a couple of suggestions for you on my past blog  What is the Best Way to Make My Lashes Look Longer and Thicker

Stay Cool and Have a Wonderful 4 of July!!!
