Glowing Summer Makeup
June 4, 2008
Summer days are here again, scorching sun that plays havoc with your skin, drying it, tanning it so that you dare not step out in the mid-day heat of a summer day. Then again you are not sure whether it is worth the while to apply makeup, as it will only melt away in the heat, as rivulets of perspiration drips down your face. Hot temperatures and high humidity make melting make-up a seasonal hazard. However, stick to our advice and you can make makeup work on even the steamiest summer afternoon.
You don’t have skip makeup looking like something the cat dragged in. You can impart a great summer glow by remembering that less and all that’s required for a glowing summer makeup is:
· Eyeshadow for the eyes.
· Lipgloss for the lips.
· Foundation for a flawless skin.
· Concealor to hide blemishes and under eye dark circles.
Guaranteed to add a glow to your face, make everything waterproof and your best friend for the summer. Begin with liquid eyeshadow, such as, MAC paint pots in rubenesque got a peachy golden tone with beautiful iridescence. While, Clarins has a great new range of waterproof eye khols. Try turquoise for a bright pop of colour that will stay put not fade away. Forget expensive mascara that won’t work, try Maybelline’s waterproof mascara in blackest black, and while on eyelashes, use your shu uemera eye lash curler to curl lashes to open up your eyes.
Summer lips should be full, juicy, sweet and ripe for the plucking like fresh summer fruit. Try Chanel Aqualumiere lipgloss in Vanilla or Candy Glow for a smooth as butter feel and a shine that won’t stop. Regular use of MAC’s plushglass lipgloss by in Fullfilled or Posh It Up will help give a subtle plumpness to your lips. Use Laura Mercier’s great Lip Exfoliant paired with a lip balm to keep you lips kissable and soft twice a week.
While, you are getting yourself a manicure, girls don’t forget to pedicure too! Remove your nail polish and soak feet in warm water to which 2 tsp. Of peppermint oil, Epsom salt (1/4 cup), and hydrogen peroxide (equal part to the amount of water) have been added. Soak feet for 15-20 minutes, scrubbing nails and toes with a nail brush till its time to pumice stone the feet. Calluses should be scrubbed away, feet rinsed and patted dry and moisturiser applied. Polish those toes with OPI’s India line that is so rich in colour.
If, you suffer from dark patches and skin discoloration, never walk out without applying concealer. But, remember all your glowing summer makeup products should be sheer, including foundation. A great idea is to liquid foundation with your favorite moisturizers for a natural glowing look with a glow. Another summer make-up tip is to use loose powder instead of pressed, because loose powder is so fine it sets foundation so much better. Try water resistant concealer so you don’t find yourself touching up constantly, Try MAC studio finish concealer or Shu Uemeras pro concealer, setting it with Laura Mercier secret powder for a soft luminous look around the eys that lasts all day!
Top off with some bronze shimmer for a glowing summer makeup look!
