Darrell Redleaf’s Summer Makeup Tips

Celebrity beauty expert Darrell Redleaf’s summer makeup tips:

  1. Simple & quick - the trend this summer is toward simple and quick; less is more - wash and go hairstyles, five-minute makeup routines or almost no makeup at all
  2. Keep your skin hydrated - use a body hydrating lotion as soon as you get out of the shower and pat down. It’s best to apply the lotion while your skin is still moist
  3. Get rid of dark circles - dark circles happen when you are dehydrated. The skin cells above the blood capillaries shrivel due to lack or moisture and that causes the dark circle look. So first, try drinking more water to plump up the cells. If the cause isn’t from dehydration, then it could be from lack of sleep or from an illness. So if water doesn’t work, go to a concealer. Depending on your skin tone, find a concealer that really matches your skin. Don’t go too light or you’ll get raccoon eyes. Then dust over lightly with a bronzing powder that matches the tan part of your skin
  4. The trend this summer is to be bronzed - Go light on makeup and use a bronzing products (sunless tanning products) to give you a great glow. Don’t cover up the glow once you’ve got it! Fresh skin is the most beautiful, so less makeup is better
  5. Update your look - go to a makeup artist who can help find the right look for you; this might change from year to year, so don’t take it for granted
