I’m going to give you Sum

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.
