It’s officially summer, thank God!  When it’s hot out, less is always more, especially when it comes to your makeup routine. So, I am going to give you a few insider tips for a fresh summer face.

1. For the perfect “fine-line” around the eyes, draw a heavy line on the lash line. Then take a makeup-remover cloth, or a Q-tip dipped in remover and wipe off the excess.  You are left with that perfectly fine-line on the lash-line.  The result is not too heavy, yet dark enough to make the eyelashes appear thicker and make your eyes stand out without looking like you have eyeliner on.
2. Dust a translucent powder on your lashes before you apply mascara. This trick gives mascara extra Oomph, to give you Ooh La La lashes.
3. A mineral based tinted moisturizer will keep you covered by, leaving your skin looking fresh, and  protect your skin from aging sun rays.
4. Try a lip tint/ stain as opposed to a gloss. This lasts longer than a gloss, and the look is a fresher take on lip color.  Plus, you can also use them as a cheek stain! Cheek stains are great in hot weather because, they don’t melt off.

If you are like me, a change of season calls for a change of  hair color. Example, I tend to go a bit darker in the cooler months and brighten up as it warms up. But you shouldn’t just change your hair color, you should also keep your lip color in mind as well.  Here are a few tips.

Brunettes : Sheer colors, nudes, and plum tones work best with darker hair.

Blondes: Fair haired beauties always look great in pastels (don’t forget a little bronzer ), pinks, and punchy reds.

Red: Lips stains are a nice subdued choice next to the vibrant hair color, as well as subtle peach tones, and rosy lip shades.

Attention all puny lash sufferer’s:

 Latisse is the answer you have been looking for! The only FDA approved lash enhancer that is scientifically proven to work. There are a lot of products out there promising to provide you with longer, fuller lashes after several applications, but this one is the only guarantee. What you need to do is, find a Derm or Plastic Surgeons office that offers the RX, and shell out the dough, and dedication for product. One trusted Dr’s office I know of that carries the lash-script is Dr. Youn of Rochester Hills, MI.

So, if your not that skilled at applying falsy’s and aren’t willing to semi-permanantly glue eyelash extensions to your lids, check out this product.

It’s as simple as painting the product on your upper lash line and waiting for the new thicker, fuller, longer lashes to come in.
