4 Summer Makeup Tips

4 Summer Makeup Tips to Consider

July is here already!! Time for Fishing, BBQ and all around American fun in the sun!!  While we’re in the midst of the summer months I wanted to break down a few summer makeup tips for you to keep in mind as we enjoy the rest of the season.

 

 

4 Summer Makeup Tips to Consider

Lighten Coverage- In the summer heavy makeup tends to feel…well, heavy. Instead of your typical medium-full coverage foundation opt for something lighter so you don’t have that melting feeling.  Or better yet, use a foundation that’s buildable like Avon's Ideal Flawless Invisible Coverage Liquid Foundation just apply a thin coat of foundation.

Use Bronzer- Even if you’re not spending time outdoors you can still get a little glow!  Use Avon Glow Bronzing Powder(is buildable) to give you that healthy glow look.  Do not apply all over the face see the picture for a guide.

Get your Glow on- Use a moisturizer with SPF. You can use Avon Skin Revitalize Instant Radiance Lotion alone to give you skin a natural glow with the protection of SPF 20. Simple, easy, beautiful!!

Use Multi-Purpose Products- Summer is all about easy, this goes for the products you use, too! Remember this summer season is all about being BOLD so don't be afraid to use bright colors.  For example, I love to use creme eyeshadows to add a little touch of brightness & color to the lid that won’t budge all day because it can also be used as a primer!  Additionally, I like to use lip products that have longevity to them.  I’m loving Avon's Ultra Color Lipstick with its rich, vibrant stay-true color and lightweight feel. There is a shade for every skin tone and mood!

Remember to go BOLD this season. Make a statement with either you eyes or lips but never both. Makeup should bring out you own beauty not cover it up!! Be beautiful in your own skin, it will show through!!! Have a awesome summer!!

Must-Have Summer Dress

Little White Dress – Must-Have Summer Dress

 

The little white dress is definitely the must-have summer dress, so you should get yourself one for this season. You will love to wear this type of dress on your vacation, as well as after you come back from some tropical place and want to show your beautiful Sun kissed tan.
 
White is a neutral color that goes well with everything, so you won’t find it difficult to style your white summer dress. The type of shoes you choose to wear, will depend mainly on the style of your dress. For instance, if it is a casual one, you can pair it with some espadrilles, flat sandals and even with some sneakers. Or if you go for a more fancy dress, then you can pair it with your favorite chunky heels or lace up sandal heels. And when it comes to the color combo, feel free to pair your little white dress with whatever color you prefer for your shoes. Black, brown and beige is definitely a good choice, but if you wish to make a statement, then opt for some pastel or maybe even neon colored shoes. A white dress can be found in various styles and can be made out of various materials. If you are looking for a white dress that will give you a trendy look this summer, we suggest you to get yourself an off-the-shoulder dress or maybe even a shirt dress. These type of dresses are the hottest ones for the summer, so choosing them in a white shade is definitely a good idea. Scroll down now to see several street style looks with little white dresses and choose which one is your favorite style. Enjoy!

Choose Colors for Contouring

Choosing Contouring Colors

      It’s time to talk about the single-most overlooked cosmetic product/technique by the average woman: contouring make-up. With the right combination of highlighting and lowlighting shades, you can adjust the look of your features in myriad ways. You can make your nose appear slimmer, your eyes deeper and your jawline softer. You can soften the look of jowls and hide the wattle beneath an aging chin. All it takes is a little practice, some patience and just the right colors for your skin type.

      I’m going to break with tradition here and tell you now that there is NO need to go out and purchase make-up specifically labeled as contouring make-up. In fact, some makers are getting away from the “specifically purposed” cosmetic products and appealing to the modern shoppers’ sensibilities by marketing the products that are basically the same as multi-purpose items.

      The truth is you don’t need a specifically designed “contouring make-up” for proper contouring of the face all you need is a make-up that is a shade darker and a shade lighter than the make-up you use for your foundation. It’s just that simple.

What Kind of Foundation Works Best

      You can use any foundation formula for your contouring make-up, and if you have a brand and type that you absolutely cannot do without, then by all means stick with what you love. It will make it easier for you to master the contouring application techniques if you feel comfortable with the medium with which you are working.
