Summer fever is up....

If the winter months have left your skin looking dull and dry, now it’s time for you to prepare for summer season. Girl’s newest motto is, ‘oiliness is next to ugliness’. It’s funny but if you’re going to analyze it, reality will hit you back. Yes! It’s hard to take care of an oily skin. If you’re skin is oily, there is a tendency to have acnes as well and all other forms of skin problems. There are many things to consider if we have this type of skin.

Harsh weather conditions and central heating can take your charge on you’re skins appearance. It’s our fault if we neglect our skin when in fact this is the biggest and one of the most important parts of our body. There are advanced herbal-based products that can help you shed dull and oily skin surface and renew your complexion. In some philosophy skin care clinics, they believe that in any skin condition has a chance to be repaired with any kinds of treatment. Not everyone is blessed with beautiful and healthy skin but everyone has the right to be helped out and repair their old and dull skin.

When you try some herbal products, you will see and feel the difference from head to toe. Natural skin care is better to those who have sensitive, dry or even oily skin. The effect is slowly but surely. There is no need to rush because hurrying the effects will just lead to skin irritations or worse, major skin problems. That’s why there are derma clinics that use herbal or natural products for the safety of their clients.

Staying under the sun is a way of loosing weight because we’re perspiring a lot especially when we move as well. It’s like staying in the gym for 1 hour and does our exercise routine. But staying long under the sun may lead to burns or skin cancer especially if we forgot to put sun block lotions. You can forget anything but not this one. This is not being vain at all. WE just want to protect our skin from serious and dangerous damages there is. We can’t rely on the sunshine to stay as white or fair our skin is. So before we decide to go to the beach, we have to do some preparations and try to search for an effective product that will help your skin and stay as healthy as possible.

Informing ourselves is very important. Don’t deprive your skin from the moisture that our skin needs. We eat when we’re hungry and so is our skin. We can enjoy the sun and the beach without neglecting ones health.

A chic summer makeup look

With the heat in full swing, you can’t afford to pile on the makeup and have it sweat off your face after just a few hours. That’s why you need to devise a new, fresh, makeup routine that will stay on all day and won’t feel caked on. This quick and easy summer makeup look is one of my favorites and the one I tend to wear most during the summer months.

Step 1: Preparation :

                            

Prep your skin by starting off with a clean face. Apply a light, oil-free moisturiser and massage it in circular motions. Once the moisturiser has completely melted into the skin, apply a good primer which will ensure your concealer/foundation will stay put. You should also prep your eyes by applying an eye primer onto your lids.

Step 2: Flawless Finish:

If you have perfect skin, just use a good tinted moisturizer to get a perfect, flawless finish. If you’re not that lucky though, start off by dotting on concealer wherever needed (red spots, blemishes, and dark circles). Pat the concealer in, making sure the problem area is thoroughly concealed. When it’s hot out, I prefer to skip the foundation as it can be a little too heavy. Instead, I just apply a matte powder all over my face. This will even out discoloration and put the concealer in its place.

Step 3: Beautify by blush:

This is where the color comes in. Get a big powder blush and swirl it over your favorite bronzer. Remember, start with little at first as you can always add more later (it’s harder to remove!). First, run the brush along the contour of your face. Then, run the brush over your brow bone, down to the apples of your cheeks, and just right underneath your chin, like a figure 3. Once you’ve achieved your perfect level of bronzing, add a little blush. Pick a peachy pink color that will look natural on you. Using a kabuki brush, just dab the apples your cheeks and blend it in.

Step 4: The Eyes:

Your eyes are one of the most important features on your face…it’s one of the first features a person notices on you! So make sure to pay special attention to them, and bring them out more. Lately, I’ve been using Maybelline’s Eyestudio 4 color palette in Give Me Gold. It’s super cheap, it has good staying power, and the colors are actually very pigmented so you don’t have to run the brush over a hundred times. For a simple, refreshing summer look, I take a light hue, such as a sparkly cream or white and apply it all over my lid. Accentuate your brow bone by highlighting in. Just use the same light color and apply it on your brow bone 2-3 times, so that it really stands out. Use a light golden hue for the inner corners of your eyes and a copper, bronze color for your outer corners. Blend it in well. To make your eyes pop, use the light shadow you used earlier and apply it right in the inner corners of your eyes, making sure to get a tiny line on your lower lash. Finish off with a coat or two of mascara.

Step 5: Get a Pretty Pout:

Since your eyes aren’t dramatic, you can play around with different lipstick hues. If you’ve been reading my posts, you know I’ve been obsessed with MAC Viva Glam lipstick in GaGa, which is a beautiful pinkish color that works great with this look. But, if you don’t have that exact lipstick, you can use almost anything. Just apply it to your lips and pat the color in to give it that just-kissed look. Finish off with a clear gloss and you’re good to go!

Amazing tricks of wearing beach makeup

With the summer finally in full swing, you’ll probably be hitting up a few beaches and pool parties, but how exactly should you proceed with your makeup? Everyone knows that wearing a full face of makeup in the heat (especially if you’re outside all day) or while swimming is a big no no. But thankfully, there are lots of other ways you can look flawless in the sun without pilling on the heavy makeup.

USE AN SPF:

Start With Sunscreen – Apply a quarter-size drop of SPF to your face and neck. Massage slowly into your skin and let dry for about 5 minutes until you do anything else. Next, take a blotting sheet and apply to oily areas like your T-zone to ensure that all excess residue is soaked up.

COVER UP IMPERFECTIONS:

Pick up an SPF spiked face powder – not only will it save your skin from the sun but it will also give you coverage and keep your skin staying matte instead of oily. Just dust the powder all over your face and neck to ensure even coverage.

WATERPROOF YOUR MASCARA:

Swipe your lashes with a waterproof mascara. Only give it one or two coats thought – you don’t want them looking thick and heavy.

PROTECT YOUR POUT:

Lastly, use an SPF lip balm to protect your lips from the harmful rays and also give you a soft, kissable pout.
