Summer Makeup
Summer makeup means creating a face that radiates with warmth and shimmer. Summer season is the right time for giving the healthy tan to body and protect the skin from the baked, dry lips and sunburn. There are some makeup disasters that can happen in summer sun and a relaxing beach noon that we do not pay adequate attention too. Dry hair frizz a lot as humidity increases and make curly hair unmanageable. Rich deep conditioning of your hair will help to tame your hair and don’t forget to protect them from sun, sand and wind by wearing a trendy summer hat or a baseball cap. Wax and texturizers also help to tame frizzy hair. Use sunglasses to protect the eyes before going to outside during the day. One should always use sunscreen lotion or cream with SPF 30 before going under the sun. Before wearing slippers or sandals sprinkle the feet with little touch of powder for avoiding blisters.
On a lovely summer’s day there is nothing better than the appearance of a healthy glow to make you feel better, and one of the easiest ways of achieving this is with bronzing powder. Sprinkle your feet with foot powder before wearing sandals to avoid any blisters. If you still feel shoe-on-skin rubbing, protect the sensitive area with a bandage before the blister forms. To get rid of the blister, take a clean needle and sanitize it with alcohol. Pop the blister and use cotton to clean any fluid that comes out of it. Apply an antibiotic ointment without trying to scrape off the skin and then cover the area with a bandage. The only thing you can do to get rid of this yellowish tint is to scrape the surface of your nail with the help of the finest-grain side of the block file and use the clear UV-resistant topcoat for protection and shine.
Summer Makeup Tips
- Colors such as golden-green or mango green for eyes can be used along with black or brown mascara.
- Gold shimmer under brows or across cheekbones can be a luxury you can use.
- Light shade of bronzer on cheekbones and chin gives you a beautiful suntan.
- Avoid lip liner.
- Use eyeliner pencil of slate gray, warm chocolate or navy shades with a light hand.
- Eyes should be done simply. Use neutral and soft shimmery eye shadow on lids and work on lashes instead.
- Curl your lashes and use glossy black shade on them to make them appear longer and your eyes bigger.
- Hair color gloss can help you to achieve the shine again.
- Warm, sunny, bright blush can be used.
How to keep your summer makeup fresh
- Skip the foundation, if possible, and opt for a tinted moisturizer.
- Dust any coverage with a little loose powder. Use blush sparingly, letting your sun-kissed cheeks grab the attention.
- Blot any perspiration or oil buildup with non-powdered blotting papers.
- Remove under-eye foundation or powder buildup with a clean cotton swab.
