Summer Glam

Slay of the Day- Summer Glam

Similar to spring, use of bold, vibrant colours in summer time makeup is a go to. But when it comes to concealers and foundation you have to be careful in choosing or applying as the weather can get hot and humid and you don't want your makeup to melt and slide off your face. Today I'll share some tips on how to avoid this and some tips to give you the best summer look.

 Moisturizer

 While it's important to moisturize your skin, try using a moisturizer that's oil free.

 Primer

 This is a plus to use in the summer time as it helps keep your makeup in place.

 Concealer and Foundation

 Avoid using heavy or cream concealers and foundation as these tend to crease easily and cake up. Instead trying using a liquid foundation applying the 'less is more' rule or a tinted moisturizer applying concealer where necessary and finish with loose powder.
Mascara

 Since summer is usually about hitting the beach opt for using a water proof mascara to avoid it from running down your face or giving you raccoon eyes. 
Eye Shadow

 Ensure that you use an eye shadow primer before applying your eye shadow to give it more staying power to last longer. Then you can go crazy with vibrant and vivid colours.

Now you're ready for summer.

 I hope you find these tips helpful in creating your summer looks.

Choosing the Right Concealer

Slay of the Day- Choosing the Right Concealer Using the right concealer can give you a beautifully flawless look when applying your makeup. If the correct one is chosen it can cover blemishes, conceal dark circles or spots, or give the look of evenly toned skin. The wrong one can been seen through your foundation and attract attention to your problem areas, show up your blemishes, or show up as a white cast around your eyes. You need to find one that's best for your skin type. For dry skin it is not wise to use a liquid concealer that leaves you with a matte finish, instead try a stick concealer which is usually creamy and pigmented, which can be dotted on the area to be covered or swiped on. After which you blend it with your beauty blender or concealer brush. Coverage ranges from medium to full. For oily skin try a liquid concealer that leaves a matte finish. This type of concealer is great as you can build up on the desired coverage you want from light to full...

Here are some weird makeup trends that had me wondering if the creators were on some sort of substance. The Braided Brow As I mentioned in my post on brows I love seeing perfect brows, so imagine my astonishment at seeing these brow trends. As much as it looks perfectly sculpted and you have to be really talented to get it to look like a braid, it is beyond my comprehension why someone would want to rock braided brows. The Feathered Brow If the braided brow wasn't bad they came up with the feathered brow. Like why, are you going to fly away? The Squiggly Brow Then they thought of the squiggly or wavy eyebrow.  The Squiggly Lips To match the squiggly brows the squiggly lips were created that had me screaming whyyyyyyy??? Nose Hairs Who would purposely want hair sticking out of their nose, especially and female??? ...
