Makeup Tips!

 5 minute Summer Makeup

It’shot. Your skin is sticky. You can’t imagine putting heavy makeup on your face in this heat. But, you know you need something. Here are some tips for putting together a summer makeup routine that will leave your skin glowing.

Create lasting colour. The hot weather can wreak havoc on your makeup. When you sweat, your makeup fades. Wash your face with an oil controlling formula and follow up with a light foundation. Apply an oil controlling product to reduce shine. Before applying the rest of your makeup, use a large powder brush to apply some pressed powder. This will help create a solid base for your makeup.

Ditch the heavy foundation. If you think it is too hot to use foundation, you can either skip it or mix a little in with your moisturizer. This will give you some coverage without the heaviness. You can also use a powder foundation which also gives you light coverage and can also control oil. Also make sure to use a little concealer on your under eye circles, if needed. If you want to wear heavier foundation, look for a product that controls oil.

Use bronzer. Bronzer is a great way to give your skin that healthy sun-kissed look without the sun damage. Apply it with a large powder brush on your forehead, cheeks, and nose for a more realistic glow. If you normally apply self tanner on your face, skip this step.

Add colour. Apply blush and eye makeup just as you normally would, but remember not to apply as much as you would in the winter. Choose lighter colours in oil control products whenever possible. If you plan on going in the pool or hitting the waves at the beach, use waterproof eye makeup.

Just because it is hot and sticky doesn’t mean you can’t have lasting makeup. Choose products that will help create a healthy glow and control oil. Pick colours that are flattering but not too bold. With the right techniques and colours, you can create a flawless look that will stay on all day.

Eye shadow Tips: 3 Hot Products

Choosing the right eye shadow product can be tricky, leaving you with tons of products that have only been used a couple times. Checking out eye shadow reviews allows you to learn from other women’s successes (and mistakes). Read on to learn eye shadow tips for choosing the best products.
Cream eye shadows. Women in eye shadow reviews consistently rave about Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadow.

Shadow Duos. Check out L’Oreal Paris HiP Concentrated Shadow Duo. This product is great for creating more depth in the eyes. The lighter color can be applied all over the lid and the deeper color in the creases to create a dramatic effect.
Eye shadow color palettes. Products like LORAC Showstopper Palette get high reviews for quality and versatility. Creating a daytime look is super easy with a variety of soft shades. And, you can layer on deeper shades in the evening to create a smoky affect.
Creating the sophisticated look1. Apply a light eyeshadow over your entire eyelid from lash line to eyebrow bone, but not beyond.
2. Define the crease of your eyelid using a medium or dark shade. The deeper the shade, the more dramatic look.
3. To open up your eyes so that they appear livelier, place a dot of a light shade in the inner corner of each eye.

Tip: When choosing an eyeshadow shade, keep in mind that a pastel shade will look softer while a darker shade will appear more dramatic when applied.
Applying natural-looking eyeliner

Tip: For a natural-looking eyeliner and the illusion of lusher, fuller lashes, use a dark brown eye pencil and carefully press a series
of dots between your lashes following your lash line.
Tip: For the sophisticated look, draw a smooth fine line alone the top lashes.
Tip: To create the dramatic look, draw a line inside your lash line (as close to the lashes as possible), then along the top of the lash line.
