Summer’s almost here, and what better way to stay beautiful and beat the heat, than with sweat-proof makeup. If you’re heading to the pool, beach or lake, then waterproof makeup is a must. However, a day in the park, backyard barbeque, a summer wedding or any other outdoor type events or activities require sweat-proof makeup.

Tinted Moisturizers
For a sunny summer day, you don’t need a lot of makeup, so trying switching your liquid foundation to a tinted moisturizer instead. Tinted moisturizers serve a double purpose in that they can hydrate your skin and also cover imperfections. Two recommendations: Clinique Moisture Sheer Tint and Juice Beauty SPF 30 Tinted Moisturizer. Clinique Moisture Sheer Tint is a truly natural beauty product. It is made with organic white grape and pomegranate juices and will supply your skin with antioxidants and essential nutrients. Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer is a long-lasting tinted moisturizer that can “take the heat”. It offers sun protection and see-through color to help even out your skin for a flawless finish. Both these products are available at SEPHORA.

The Trish McEvoy Protective Shield Moisturizer is a long-lasting and sweat-proof product that’s perfect for wearing to the beach, ball games and other outdoor events.

Eye Makeup
Eyeshadow tends to crease and smear in heat and humidity. So you should always be sure to use a primer as a base for your eye shadow. Apply the primer over your entire lid and extend upwards to the brow bone. Curl your eyelashes and then add one coat of smudge-proof mascara. You can skip the eyeliner during the daytime.

Lips & Cheeks
Keep your lip and cheek color light and simple. If you’re wearing a bronzer, you can drop the cheek color. If not, use a light shade of blush (powder, not cream or gel because they fade in the heat) just on the apples of your cheek. For lips, use a tinted lip balm or pink lip gloss instead of lipstick. Gloss will last longer if you apply a light dusting of translucent powder before application.

Last word on staying fresh in the heat
If you are going to spend prolong periods in the sunlight, look for makeup with SPF-15 or higher. Always carry blotting papers to rid your skin of oil and freshen makeup throughout the day. Always wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. Consider wearing a hat to protect your hair and scalp, as well as to shade your face.

The 1940s - 70s were revolutionary decades for makeup. Today, many try to recreate the classic movie star makeup effects of those time periods. Below, we outline some of the more important elements of vintage makeup styles.

1. Pouty red lips - undoubtedly a staple of the classic movie star look
2. Rosy cheeks - another must-have component of vintage makeup beauty styles
3. Enticing eyes - back then, a lot was told through the eyes, not just the swing of the hips. From a makeup perspective, there are said to be three secrets to dazzling eyes: bold eyeliner, lush lashes and a sheer and iridescent shadow

A couple parting tips as well: (1) Always remember to curl your eyelashes before you apply mascara … and for lashes, bigger is better (2) For eyeliner, the trick is to start from the inner corner of the lid and line along the lash line, following the contour of the eye. To get a stronger effect, apply slightly heavier at the outer corners of the eye.

Lash Pimpin’, that’s the name of the latest eye campaign by Paris-based professional makeup brand Make Up For Ever. It aims to lengthen lashes and also offer highly pigmented eye makeup to the masses.

Faux Lashes, the lash part of the campaign, offers 55 lashes in different lengths and shapes, and are intended to fill out sparse lashes. These lashes are handmade from nylon, and come with a special adhesive. Each lash is reusable.

The color part of the campaign is Flash Color, which until now was only available to professionals. It has creamy, easy-to-blend color pots and available in 24 shades. Both Faux Lashes and Flash Color are available beginning this month at Sephora.

No one! with Benefit’s perfect “yuk to wow” make up products, inconvenient blemishes and blotchy skin raining on our parade are a thing of the past! One of my personal favorites is lemon-aid. Its an eye correcting cream that reduces redness and blotchiness…with few pats and blends our tired are gone.
I had such a fun time at the Benefit counter…. Another favorite find is brow zings, “the ultimate brow kit”. It even comes with a mini tweezer so you can pluck any stray hairs while you are on the go. It comes with a wax to shape and fill in your brows and then a powder to set the wax.

Take care till we chat again about more amazing make up
