Keeping Summertime Makeup, and Hair Looking Great

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. Whether you are going to an outdoor event, or to the beach/public 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. (Be sure to use an oil free moisturizer so your makeup will go on smoothly, and not look blotchy). 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 on 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 for Summer 2012 are:

Eyes:

Range from soft neutrals to bright/bold colors. Metallics such as copper, gold, silver, lilac/plum, and smokey. My alternative to metallic is soft shimmer shadow.

Lips: Range from neutrals, to bright/bold reds, pinks, corals. You can use a lip stain, tinted lip balm, sheer gloss, or just blot a very bold lipstick.

Cheeks: Bronzer/Blush Bronzer is also being used to add contour to cheek. I usually mix bronzer with blush.

Eyeliner: Smokey liner and extended liner for the cat look. Be sure to look for waterproof liner. You can use a liquid, or a cream/gel liner.

Nails: Ranging from neutrals to neon

Now that we know how to keep our current trends looking great, we need to be sure that our hair will look it's best, and lets face it, during summer, that can be difficult to do, unless we know what products, and styles will work best. My favorite line is by Nick Chavez because his products work! He keeps the celebrities, and royalty looking their best.
