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.

I am constantly searching for that miracle mascara that thickens, lengthens, and doesn’t smear throughout the day. I think I found it. My current everyday mascara (that I can even carry into night by reapplying for more oomph) is Imju Fiberwig. This miracle in a tube is exactly what it sounds like, black fibers that build just like a wig on your lashes.  What’s even more amazing is when you wash off the mascara, it doesn’t leave you with raccoon eyes. Therefore, it’s also great for weddings and hot weather!

 

Another daily favorite of mine is, Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer SPF 20 - illuminating version.  this formulation is lightweight and flawless, just like it says. This tinted moisturizer is great for a sheer coverage or you can achieve a bit heavier application by layering the product.

If you’re more into a matte look, try Glo-Minerals tinted moisturizer.  this product also gives a healthy dose of moisture plus coverage, while protecting your skin from UV rays.
