The calendar shows mid-August, and the thermometer shows +30. Hydromecenter promises hot August, and we are thinking about how to be beautiful, but not suffer from the heat under a thick layer of foundation. And what trendy colors did we not have time to try and risk missing the most interesting summer experiments? Do not worry! Woman’s Day has taken care of you and collected the best summer makeup tips.
Basic rules for summer makeup:
daytime makeup should be light and dim, otherwise you run the risk of finding yourself with blurry makeup;
foundation should be applied in a thin layer or eliminated altogether, giving way to fluid. It is also not recommended to use a tone much darker than your own complexion;
be sure to monitor your skin and use sunscreen;
hair should be well-groomed and moisturized, excluding heavy styling products;
focus on bright lipstick, better matte, bright varnishes, colored arrows, always waterproof, or colored mascara.
Summer cosmetics are necessarily light, translucent products that allow the skin to breathe and do not clog pores. It is better to choose products with SPF, they will still allow your face to sunbathe, but will protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays.
If you can’t imagine your life without a foundation, then for the summer period you need to choose a light fluid with moisturizing and sunscreen filter. Such lightweight versions are available in almost every brand. A makeup base is even better. They are colorless, matte and shining. If you love powder, go for the crumbly version with a subtle pearlescent shine. She will accentuate the tan and freshness of the image.
Don’t forget about the highlighter, this is any girl’s lifesaver. It can be used on its own or on its own to give skin a glow.
Major makeup mistakes and failures can happen with many products. Firstly, it is recommended to use bronzer in the sunny season, and to give preference to blush in winter. It is necessary to apply the “golden” remedy with gentle movements not on the whole face, but on the zones: cheekbones, under the eyebrows, chin, T-zone.
It is better to choose a shade with the help of a consultant who will select it according to your color type. Choose a bronzer that is not very dark and not too shiny to avoid reddish spots.
In extreme heat, it is generally better to refuse shadows. But if the event dictates, choose dry shadows for the exquisite Smokyeyes and be sure to use a special foundation. On a tanned face, almost all colors look beautiful, so feel free to experiment with shades.
But there will definitely not be any problems with ink. Summer is the time for fashionable solutions. Purple, blue, brown, yellow, green and even pink mascara! In the summer collections of 2014 you can find mascara for every taste. Don’t be afraid to experiment!
Try any shade in the store and you’ll be amazed at how colored mascara can beautify any look.
Colored arrows from last year flowed smoothly into this summer’s trend. In this regard, be sure to make sure that the eyeliner is resistant. You can put it on your hand and see if the product diffuses or not. Colored eyeliner is a great accent to any bright look, but if it flows, then you run the risk of finding yourself with “bruises” under your eyes.
In the summer season, while tanning, do not forget about hygienic lipstick with SPF, it will protect your lips from discoloration and dryness. Try to choose lipsticks that are moisturizing, but matte, glossy ones risk spreading. Also, focus on lip glosses – they moisturize and create sensual volume.
Nail polishes tend to chip and fade with constant contact with water, so rely on special top coats that extend the life of the polish, or go to a salon and apply gel polish on your nails that will retain shine and brightness for two to three weeks …
