How-To: Perfect Makeup for Summer
Face and Skin Make your skin seem flawless, smooth, and
absolutely perfect. Use a smart foundation; make sure to buy a tinted
moisturizer with SPF protection. Try to keep it as minimal as possible.
You want to blend outward from your nose for a continuous finish. These
moisturizers are great for any skin type and provide enough coverage
for the average woman.
Eyeshadow and Eyes Make your eyes sparkle; make them speak
volumes with a stroke of a brush. Be daring with bright blues,
mesmerizing greens, sassy purples or playful teals. Try to use a single
shade to avoid a color catastrophe. If those shades are too
over-the-top, try a bright colored eyeliner in addition to your normal
eye shadow. You don’t need to rely on black for the smoky eyes,
anymore! You still get the WOW without the extra POW.
Cheeks and Blush High cheek bones create that svelte facial
contour that every woman wants. So why not highlight them with sheer
pinks, soft roses, subtle peaches and delicate apricots. These are the
best shades for a natural, active look. Apply them at the temple, in an
upwards motion into the hairline; this sweeping application gives you a
youthful appearance.
Lips Many poets throughout history have praised lips; their
shape, their color, their feel, so let’s continue the trend. The
season’s hottest lip color is ruby red, the classic sexy and the always
current. If the red is too dramatic, then go glossy, a slight, dewy
shine works best.
