Makeup That Still Looks Great in the Summer
During the summertime, you may want to spend less time on your makeup, and more time with other activities, but still look great while doing them. Weather you are going to an outdoor event, or to the beach/pool, you can keep your look fresh. If your skin is clear, or has slight imperfections, you can use an oil free tinted moisturizer. This gives some coverage, and gives a glow to the skin. Oil free products stay in place much better, and allow the skin to breathe. If you need more coverage, try using some concealer, or oil free foundation. You can also use Suzanne Somers Spray Foundation. If you can't find it on SuzanneSomers.Com, you can try an Internet search. It goes in cool, gives great coverage, and feels light. It also has great staying power. Local drugstores sell a puff with a satin ribbon that you can use after application to absorb excess moisture from makeup. Be sure to set the makeup with a light dusting of loose powder. You can then use either a sheer shadow on your lids, or a touch of bronzer. If you choose to wear liner, look for one that is waterproof, and set with a shadow. You can wear mascara (waterproof, optional) on the top lashes, and be sure to comb/brush them so they will dry. Apply bronzer, and a touch of blush, then follow up with gloss, or sheer lipstick. Be sure to check your makeup near a window during daytime, so you can avoid a blotchy look. Be sure to always blend.
Maintaining your look is simple. You can carry a compact, such as Aqua Smoothe by Covergirl (sponge is included.) Use the sponge to wipe any possible smudges. You can also use blotting paper (optional) to absorb moisture.
Current trend colors are:

Lips:
Orange Gloss (with bronzed skin)

Great Hair Care
After you have achieved great skin, and flawless makeup, you'll want to achieve a hairstyle that stays, and works for you. What better way to achieve great styles, or maintain your look from the salon than with great haircare?
Some great haircare lines I like are by Nick Chavez, John Frieda, Alagio, and BedHead. They have excellent products for ever hair type.
My favorite products from Nick Chavez are his volumizing collection, espcially the Plump N Thick line! These products range from shampoos, conditioners, thickening spray gel, a leave in thickening mist for your roots, and of course the hairspray that holds your style. Each of the products from the Plump N Thick line contain collagen, which helps plump up the hair. You can combine the gel, thickening mist, and hairspray in your hands, and work it throughtout your roots to give you fullness. Nick has products to help you create various looks from Body, Curls/Waves, Nourishing/Hydrating, Shine, Straightening,Thickening,Volume.

From John Frieda, I love Sheer Blonde hairspray. You don't have to have blonde hair to use it. You can manage your style without your hair turning sticky, or white.
I also love the Frizz-Ease Clearly Defined gel. It shapes, and holds the style. You don't need a lot of product, and it doesn't feel gooey, or flake up in your hair.
The volumizing Brunette shampoo smells great, and works well. You can view/purchase John's products here, or in most pharmacy/retail stores.

From the Bedhead line, I love Catwalk Strong Mousse (Extra strong mousse works just as well). I also love Small Talk, which can be used three differen't ways, and Queen For a Day hairspray! They smell great! These products work well, and leave your hair soft, and shiney! I love this line when I set my hair, and alway finish with Nick Chavez Plump N Thick. The products are available in some salons, some pharmacies, some grocery stores, and at beauty supply stores. You can view them here, and also find out where they ate sold near you.

From the Alagio Professional Haircare line, I've tried Crazy Curl Balm. It has a shimmer to it, and helps eliminate frizz. I use it after I wash my hair, and while styling. They have a balm for straight hair as well. (Silk Obsession straightening balm)
The Crazy Curl shampoo was voted "Most Wanted Hair Care" by In Style Magazine.
This line can be purchased at some grocery stores, and you can check which retailers are available near you, as well view the ingredients for the entire line.
