Summer is finally here! And you know what that means...Many busy activities are in the near future! During all of the beach days, late nights out, work meetings, and busy shopping trips, a fashionista still has to look her best! These perfect hair & makeup combos are ideal for those busy summer activities. Hope these help you look your best while you soak up the sun!
Beach Day
Makeup:
This look is all about the less, the better! Start off with a tinted moisturizer, which covers up while protecting your skin with SPF. Try Aveeno Tinted Moisturizer. Then add some cream blush, which lasts longer than the usual powder blush. Finish off with some water proof mascara. It will make your eyes bigger, while lasting through the sweat and swimming. This regimen will make you look natural, yet polished.
Hair:
Beach hair is all about free and natural. A wavy look helps achieve this with minimal effort. First wet your hair in the shower or sink. After you fix your part, spritz a wave-creating spray evenly throughout hair. Our favorite is Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray! The sun at the beach will help dry your hair, while the surf spray will help your hair maintain its effortless waves.
Night Out
Makeup:
This look is all about making a statement! Start with a makeup primer. Our favorite is Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. This product will help your make up last through all the dancing and socializing. Next add a heavy coverage foundation. Our favorite is Maybelline 24-hour Super Stay Makeup. Set this foundation with a compressed powder, like Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation. Now its time to add some color! Start off with some blush! Our pick is Nars Blush in Orgasm. Then add some shimmery eyeshadow, like Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow. Finish off with a winged eye liner and volume mascara. This look will defiantly be show-stopping.
Hair:
With such dramatic makeup, its good to not overdo it with your hair. After your shower, blow-dry your hair with a straightening tool add-on. Then add an anti-frizz cream. Straighten your hair in layers. After this, tease the crown of your hair with a comb, then pull up your hair in a medium height pony tail with a bump. Wrap a piece of hair around the pony tail holder, and secure with bobby pins. Finally, add hair spray to keep your do in tact. This is the perfect hair for a fun night out!
Day Look
Makeup:
This look is all about looking polished, yet professional. Start with a makeup primer to keep your makeup looking fresh throughout the day. Next, add a tinted moisturizer (Aveeno Tinted Moisturizer) and concealer (Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer Kit). Set this with a loose powder (Maybelline Mineral Powder), and add some powder blush. Add a neutral eyeshadow and some mascara. This look will make you a knock out!
Hair:
For a long day, you can never go wrong with a pony tail. After drying your hair, curl your hair in loose sections and hairspray. Then pull up your hair into a medium height pony tail. Wrap a section around your ponytail holder to conceal it. You can either leave your bangs out, or pin them up in a braid or twist. This look is always professional and super cute!
We hope these tips help you to look your best this summer! Please share any combos or tips you have!
