Hello readers, summer is officially
here and I have a summer inspired makeup look for you today.I think that all the colors and the
textures I have used here are perfect for the season. This is a sophisticated
makeup look that I would probably wear for special occasions. Actually I already have a clear idea in mind
of what this perfect occasion should be… I can already imagine myself at a
summer party in a nice restaurant close to the beach and I would wear a 100%
white outfit that will compliment this makeup look perfectly and vice versa. Ok
let’s stop dreaming!!!
THE SKIN
To prepare my skin I moisturized it
with a SPF 50 daily moisturizer followed by a primer.
For the makeup I applied a long
lasting foundation with my fingers to blend it well. I applied one layer only
so I got medium coverage kept a very natural look. (read my revie on Lancôme teint idole 24h foundation HERE)
THE EYES
That is the part that took me most
of the time so I will explain it step by step.
1-I used a brightening concealer under
my eye to illuminate that area.
2-On my lids area I applied a
concealer to minimize the natural darkness I have. Using the concealer first here
will also help the color of the eyeshadow I am going to use next to stand out
more and to last longer.
3-For the eyeshadow I decided to use
a creamy texture that is a must have for the summer as it stays on the lids for
a very long time. I chose a perfect color for the season I think; a beautiful
bright teal. Teal is not a new color in
cosmetics but it is the first time I have seen such a beautiful one, so of
course I had to get it and create a look with it.
4- Then I applied another teal
color, a dark teal this time as my eyeliner on my lower and upper lash line.
5-For my lashes I used a lengthening
and defining waterproof mascara .
6- As a lot of work had already been
done on the eye so I wanted to keep my eyebrows as simple as possible which is
why I just groomed them with a clear eyebrow gel.
THE CHEEKS
On my cheeks only I used lightly a
bright beautiful orange matte blush which I enjoy using mostly in the summer time
as it gives me a very natural healthy glow. If you have dark skin you
should absolutely not be scared of this color as it looks very natural on our skin
tone especially if you have some orange undertone in your complexion like myself.. Just above the cheeks I used a
golden/coral highlighter to enhance this
glow that we are all looking for during the summer time.
THE NAILS
Pink works for any season so here I
chose a bright baby pink fom the brand Mavala in Miami
THE LIPS
In order to keep the main focus on the eyes I decided to wear a nude lipstick as it works with pretty much every looks.
Hope you enjoy the look.
