Get A Summer Glow!

With Summer being officially here, its now time for weddings, parties, and vacations!!!  How do we still look great and feel fabulous in the Summer heat?  It’s all about taking care of your skin and remembering less is more! With a little bit of skill and some good makeup products, you can still go glam and beat the heat!

Here is my step by step guide into making the most out of your look with the least amount of makeup!

1. Keep Skin Hydrated.  It all starts with taking care of your skin.  Keeping healthy skin will help make it easy when sporting a minimal, makeup look!

2. Have a Tan.  Fake it til you make it!  Wether you go to a spray booth, or use a self tanning lotion, having a tan will allow you to have a gorgeous glow and, therefore, you will be able to get away with less makeup.

3. Always carry eyeliner, mascara and a lash curler with you! Its all about the eyes.  You never want to go anywhere without dressing up you’re eyes.  A great eyeliner for Summer is Makeup Forever Waterproof Eyeliner or Bobbi Brown’s Long Wear Eyeliner.  By switching to a waterproof eyeliner will help keep the product from sweating off.  Check out my How to Do Liquid Eyeliner Video Here! or my TOP WATERPROOF EYELINER PICKS here!

4. Powder Down. Always keep your pressed powder handy for those occasional touch ups when you tend to feel a little oily throughout the day. Or, you can opt for bronzer!

5. Show some love to your lips! Keep the moist and hydrated.  Switch out your usual lip color for a lip stain.  I prefer, Tarte Lip Surgence ($24) or for a

Tarte Lip Stain

Tarte Lip Stain

more affordable brand try Revlon Colorstay in Just Bitten ($6). Both products come in a variety of shades. Keep in mind that most stains do not hydrate so its always good to keep your lip balm handy to apply every night just before going to bed. Lip Smacker’s, Dr. Pepper, lip balm gives the lips just the perfect amount of color.  It makes a great natural tint!
