Summer Makeup Tips 2011

First, apply a little bit of concealer on your lips to even out their tone, then outline your lips with nude lip liner, filling in the rest of your lips with the liner, as well.
After applying, lip liner, put on a sheer lip conditioning balm to help condition your lips and protect them from sun damage.
And if you’re looking for a little shine, apply your favorite lip gloss over the lip balm.

With the summer heat, it’s best to avoid heavy concelaers or foundations that you’ll just sweat off. Go for a tinted moisturizer (with SPF) which is ideal for almost any skin type or a face powder. When using the face powder, apply with a brush to achieve a natural-looking finish.

Want light, long-wearing lip color that also offers protection?
Tinted lip conditioners in rose, bronze and pearl are an easy way to add color without overdoing makeup.

A great way to ‘brighten up’ your look is also adding color to the eyes.
Try using colored mascara in bright blues and burgundies. Remember, when using bright colors, a lot goes a long way. Keep the rest of the face neutral to avoid looking overdone.

Blush should be used to contour the cheeks or to create a natural flush.

If you look good in Warm Shades (orange, gold, tomato red and apple green) AND your complexion’s FAIR: Light, transparent pink-beige shades are your best look.
MEDIUM: Your best shades are brownish-rose, dusty mauve, and muted plum-pink shades.
DARK: Soft, sheer nude pink in berry tones and rose or plum-pinks.

If you look good in cool shades (deep blues, jades and rich purple/plums) AND your complexion’s FAIR: Go for sheer, light pinks with blue undertones.
MEDIUM: Deeper mauves and rose shades with blue undertones will work well for you.
DARK: Try deep plums, deep berry shades, or soft, nude pinks with a touch of beige.

Party Makeup Tips

(Base): Prepare your face by exfoliating and moisturizing it. If your skin doesn’t have any major problems. Use a tinted moisturizer and a translucent powder to get a matte finish. It is more than enough as a makeup base. If you have oily skin, keep in mind that your look will need touch- ups, so take the powder with you.In case you have skin problems, try to hide your flaws. Use a concealer to hide the dark under eye circles, foundation that matches your skin type and skin tone, and a powder to get the matte finish. Make sure you have the proper products to hide your flaws, the wright shade and texture.

(Eyes): The eyes are the main part of a makeup. To make sure it will be long lasting look, use a primer. It will keep the eyeshadow in a perfect condition and it will make it a vivid shade. Don’t be afraid to use stronger colors, since in the evening you’ll look more pale. The face needs more contrast to get noticed, so make sure you emphasize your eyes more than you do with the day makeup.Use waterproof eye liners and mascara, but be more careful when removing them. The waterproof cosmetics are harder to remove, and if you don’t have patience to make it properly, you’ll damage your skin. Use eye makeup remover products that will help you out with these stubborn cosmetics.

(Lips): If you prefer having tinted lips, and not only some tinted lip balm or lip gloss, than go for a lip pencil. Using it as a contour, it will stop the lipstick from getting smudged, and if you use it as a lipstick base, it will make it long lasting.

(Note): Keep in mind that a party makeup ha to be more bold, more vivid and long lasting. Don’t be afraid to use colorful eyeshadows to make stronger looks, primers and waterproof cosmetics to make it long lasting. But don’t forget to remove your makeup in order to avoid the early aging effects.
