Light and Fresh ~
For the best summer look, think light. Think fresh. Here are some summer make-up tips and recommendations to achieve a light summer look that lasts all day.
Mineral make-up: As a foundation or concealer, fine mineral powder gives a beautiful finish while providing some natural sun protection. The powder is not absorbed into the pores yet does absorb oil and moisture so is ideal for summer humidity.
Summer Eyes
Again, mineral powders come in a variety of colors and give eyes a light finish that lasts. Pure mineral powders are safe for even sensitive skin and the added protection against UVA and UVB rays is ideal. Choose plums, goldens and light greens. Avoid cream shadows during warm summer seasons. They will cake and crease giving a sloppy, heavy look.
Mineral powders are great as eye liner by applying with a small wet brush. In fact, mineral powders offer a near-perfect long lasting finish as eye liners and are more gentle on delicate eye tissue than a pencil and come in many palettes.
If you are using deep black mascara, consider switching to black-browns or brown for summer, especially if you are starting to develop fine lines around the eyes.
Summer Lips
Avoid the heavy look of lip liner in the summer. Instead, choose light coral or pinks for lip coverage without the heavy liner. Don’t forget to protect your lips from sun damage and avoid using glossy lip shines that have no sun protection. The gloss actually attracts UV rays which can lead to lip cancer. Always protect your lips to keep them soft and healthy.
Hydration
Locking in moisture and protecting your skin during summer months is vital. Choose a moisturizer that provides sun protection as well as a hint of tint for a dewy, bronzed look. With a tinted moisturizer you can skip the heavy liquid foundations altogether and achieve a fresh summer face.
