In part one we prepared your beauty routine for the
summer months by thinking about esthetics (not exactly the fun stuff we know,
but necessary for sure!) and the importance of wearing sunblock. Now it is time
to delve into the fun stuff- it’s time to talk makeup and hair!
Find out what you should be thinking about to get the
sexy summer look that you love!
Nail Polish (Fingernails and Toenails)
This one is the
perfect tribute to the season. Go without polish the rest of the year if you
wish but do not dare to neglect to color up during the heat of summer. Go for
splashy hot pink, racy red, brazen bronze, or whatever color tickles your
fancy. This is the time to get your fingernails
and toenails noticed. Or for a change, do the opposite and go white, as in the
French manicure. It is very clean looking not to mention ultra-chic. A definite
winner in every way. Take your pick, or try various colors throughout the
summer. Experiment with the entire color wheel if you want!
Lip
Gloss
This is one of the
most important cosmetic products for the summer season. It has a lot to offer.
It is light and dewy; it complements a tanned face; and it plumps up even the
thinnest of lips. There are so many varieties at so many prices that you can
afford to try out as many colors as you like. Layer lip gloss over lipstick or
wear it alone. It delivers a hint of color and that’s all you really need at
this time of year. Plus the wet look of gloss makes it very sexy and kissable
looking! You do not need lip liner like you do with lipstick and gloss can be
applied without a mirror. You just glide it on and you are ready to go.
Bright
Eye Shadow
Put those darker,
smoky shades away for now, as it is time for the pearlized shadows of summer.
In the makeup world, summer nights call for bolder and brighter colors. This is
not the time to be shy makeup wise! Try one of the new hues available in green
or blue. Experiment and find out what looks good on you. Applied properly and
paired with a light swipe of mascara, the bright eye shadows of summer take
away the need for eyeliner.
If you have not
experimented with bright eye shadow in the past, it is best to ease into it
slowly with a light application. Flip through beauty magazines to find a look
that you want to emulate. Another option is to drop by the makeup counter at a
local department store or drugstore and ask for a makeover or at the very
least, some help in selecting shades that will suit your skin, hair, and eye
color to a tee!
Highlights
for Your Hair
No need to try to
blend into the crowd this time of the year. Try something new! Go a little wild
and lighten up with some summer hair highlights. Highlights add volume to hair
and who would say no to more volume?! They frame your face and throw a little
more pizzazz into your summer look. Try it and see.
If you are not happy
with the highlights, don’t worry, they will grow it. If you are happy with
them, you have got yourself a new look for the season! Have the highlights done
professionally at the salon or buy a do-it-yourself kit from the store and
well, do it yourself in your bathroom!
Hairpins
& Accessories
This is an especially
important one for ladies with long or shoulder length locks. There are many
different varieties of hair accessories to jazz up your do, keep your hair out
of your face and keep your neck cool.
There are bejeweled hairpins, clamps, and barrettes, and that’s just the
beginning. Experiment with different ones. Consider the many possibilities as
there are many! If you do not tend to tie your hair up much the rest of the
calendar year, here is your chance to do some hairpin experimentation!
So now you are all
set beauty wise to take pleasure in wherever the path of your summer leads you!
Have a wonderful season under the sun fellow beauty mavens!
