I went boating at Christina Lake for the first time of the year yesterday, so I think it's safe to say that summer is on the way. It's time for swapping our winter makeup/skincare to our summer stuff!
1. Instead of using a liquid foundation, use a tinted moisturizer or mineral makeup. The great things about most mineral makeups and tinted moisturizers is that they usually have SPF 15, which is so important, you don't want to walk around like a lobster all summer. I like: Victoria's Secret Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15, Bare Minerals mineral makeup. Nice and light for summer.
2. Instead of heavy black eyeliner, switch to a chocolate brown or bronze. I see way too many girls that overdo the black liner and it makes them look really harsh. It doesn't look sexy, it looks like a raccoon. In the summer, shimmery bronze accents all eye colours and goes great with a (fake!!) tan. I like: Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Baked.
3. Instead of pink blush, do coral, bronze or peach. It gives you a warm, tanned glow and looks so summery and healthy. I love pink blush for winter and spring, but warm peachy shades look amazing this time of year. I like: Hard Candy's Fox In A Box in Skinny Dipping, Physician's Formula multi coloured bronzer in Light, NARS blush in Orgasm.
4. Instead of lipstick or sticky lip gloss try a (tinted, if you like) lip balm with SPF. Lips can burn so easily and why not look good while protecting your lips? I like: Burt's Bees Lifeguard's Choice Weatherproofing Lip Balm, ChapIce squeezy tube lip balm SPF 15.
5. Instead of regular mascara, switch to a waterproof one. Because even sweat can make it run. I like the kind that makes tubes around your lashes, they're sweatproof, but not waterproof. If I swim, I like Dior. I like: Maybelline Beauty Tubes Mascara, Dior DiorShow Blackout Waterproof Mascara.
6. Instead of cool toned eyeshadows like purple switch to golds, bronzes and browns. Because it looks good. I like: Sephora Baked Moonshadow trio in Sunbaked, MAC eyeshadow in Woodwinked.
7. Instead of regular moisturizer, use a coconut scented moisturizer or a shimmery gold moisturizer. I like: The Body Shop's Body Butter in Coconut, Victoria's Secret Tan Enhancing Shimmer Lotion with Tint.
8. Instead of light toenail polish colours, do a hot bright colour! It's summer, time for fun and leave the shy, boring colours at home. You want hot pink, coral, orange, bright blue, bright purple and shimmer! I like: OPI's Show It And Glow It, OPI's Mad Hatter, OPI's Shorts Story.
Hope this gets you all ready for summer time, I've got my bikinis and my Justin Bieber beach towel that Tina gave me as a gift (HAH!) and my flip flops. Don't forget a rockin summer playlist on your ipod. My best Summer songs:
