It’s summer. It’s hot. Is your make-up down to your ankles yet? Well, I’ve got some style tips for summer beauty that will help you look your best in the heat.
I got the tips from TLC’s website when I secretly went to see what was new on “What Not To Wear.” Love that show! Anyway, I didn’t find any pearls of wisdom except how to create a good summer make-up look.
First: skin, skin, skin. Take care of your skin. Look for SPF. Moisturize and stay out of the direct sun if possible (think hats if you can’t find shade). Sounds a bit ridiculous, I know, but in the long run staying out of the sun is truly the best way to keep your skin looking young.
Interestingly, a sunny complexion looks healthy and young, despite how damaging real sun exposure is. Solution: bronzer. Apply it lightly during the day. Oh, and skip the eyeshadow and put bronzer on your lids (also lightly). It’ll look natural and offer a face-contouring shadow at your eyes.
As for mascara, go for waterproof. This is something I never think to do, but should do as I regularly have raccoon eyes.
And lips: SPF again. A little shimmer, a little color. Make them look kissable. Sheer is better during the day.
Always check your make-up in daylight!
Easy peasy.
