You know it's Summer when the nights get longer, skin gets darker, hair gets lighter, and makeup gets brighter! The topic for today is Summer's hottest makeup trend which is bright and neon cosmetic colors! This look is perfect for daytime and nighttime and for women of any age. This look is simple to accomplish all you need is black top eyeliner for a cate eye effect, mascara, and a bright lip. What I would recommend for a bright hot pink lip is Make Up For Ever's Aqua Rouge in Fuschia. The Aqua Rouge color is definitely fun and sexy for this summer and is also waterproof so you can wear it to the beach and not worry about smudges! Let me know what you think of this look!

Teaser For July’s Magazine Issue Starring Lush Cosmetic!
Lush is a fresh handmade cosmetic line that does not conduct
animal testing, uses only vegetarian ingredients, and their products are from
fresh organic fruit and vegetables, etc. Lush’s handmade cosmetics range from
bathing products to makeup and even perfumes.
When I began talking to Lush’s public relations team I was very excited for their products to be starred in our July issue. One of the products I was given was the liquid red lipstick called Ambition.

The color alone is a gorgeous bold red and right away I knew
this is the product I wanted to showcase as a teaser before July’s issue.
Lush’s lipsticks have jojoba oil, rose wax and candelilla wax base, which I
found out, soften dry lips. Not only that but I found out that the lipstick can
be used as a blush also, amazing right?
Just a simple dab on your fingers and rub it in!
I called up a few friends and together we had out own little
photo-shoot! Katherine McFarland is the talented photographer and the gorgeous
model is Erin Peters.

Orange Cosmetics Are Trending!
Lately I noticed that models, celebrities, and now cosmetic stores are all in favor of the orange look. This tangerine trend is very vibrant and makes a statement for this summer. Either if the orange cosmetic line comes in blush, lipstick, or eyeshadow it gives the perfect glow. Keep the orange lip simple with a mascara and black top eyeliner. If you choose to go with a orange, or coral blush keep the lip simple. This look works best if you focus on one area of the face (cheeks, lip, eyes) so it doesn't become over whelming. Start the summer off with a new and daring look, I guarantee you will love it! What do you think about this look?

Bright Eyeliner Hot Off The Runway
Bright eyeliner is in for this summer and I could not be more excited! Either if it is a bright orange, white, yellow, or turquoise it is fun and easy to do. Turquoise eyeliner is trending in all the runways and not to mention great for tan or pale skin. Create a cat eye look with the turquoise color and it will definitely make a bold statement. Remember to not apply to many different colors onto the face or else the colors will conflict with one another. I would suggest a simple nude matte eye shadow, light pale pink blush, mascara, and a nude lip. Want to make it more dramatic? Add false eyelashes it will definitely make a statement and this look is perfect for day or night! What do you think about this look?

Make A Statement Today With A Red Lip! Here Is How
Before starting the red lip the foundation should be already on. The red lip actually stays on longer if there is foundation on your lips so don't be afraid to lightly brush foundation along your lips. Secondly, use a red lip liner similar to your red lipstick and trace the lip line. Now you can apply the red lipstick but what I would suggest is to use a brush because I find that easier. Now your dramatic lip is completed for this casual sunny day! What do you think of this timeless look?

Monday's Trending Makeup Look
The weekend is over which means we are back to Monday! What a perfect way to start the week off with a natural look for this lovely sunny day. Either you are soaking up the sun or soon to be off work, the "natural look" would look best. Take these simple tips to end your Monday right. First you want to make your skin look as natural as possible by using an all over foundation. For your cheeks choose a pinkish brownish blush, that will soften up the look and add color. To create the eye look use a matte color eye shadow and blend the corner of the eye with a dark gray. Blending is key for this look so you can make it look smokey without having the eyes look very dark. You can apply the same eye shadow you used for the crease for your eyeliner. If you want to stand out use a white eye liner that will draw attention to your eyes. Lastly, use a nude pink to your lips and there you have your "natural look" of the day!
