Summer Makeup Trends!

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.

Since the color is so vibrant I knew I wanted to keep the eyes simple by using an off white eye shadow and black eyeliner as the cat eye. Instead of using lip liner I traced her lips with an eyeliner brush to keep the lipstick in place. This look is so gorgeous and simple I strongly recommend this product to anyone! This look is for any age and is perfect for this summer.

Start the weekend off right and try this look tonight! Tell me what you think of the trend and of course any questions I will be glad to answer!

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?
