Summer Makeup

** the sun, the sea, a cold drink, a good book, a stroll by the water...... enjoy! **

It's vacation time and our summer makeup needs to reflect this! gold lipstick

We want to let our hair down and not be too fussy about the way we look. These months are all about looking natural. The fewer products we apply, the more we let our natural tanned beauty glow.

So which colours are suitable for summer? Golds and silvers are great as they compliment any tanned skin. Any light colour is good for the summer months. Below are a few examples of summer makeup looks.

BRONZE FEST EYE LOOK
Bronze Eyes  Bronze Eyes  Bronze Eyes  Bronze Eyes

The words "bronze" and "summer" just go so well together, don't you think? I LOVE this look. It's not too flashy and very summery. I used different shades of browns, using the natural looking makeup technique. I added a touch of brown/black to the outer crease to intensify the depth and finished with an overall dusting of bronze shimmer. I didn't even use mascara or liner because the bronze shimmer deposits on my lash lines had created a lovely "fairy-tale-like" effect I didn't want to ruin.

This eye makeup look would bring to life anybody's summer tan. Go for it!
