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!!!
