Make up for Beach

This time 

Make up that will look appropriate on the Beach :)

Less Is More. Don’t apply heavy makeup. Firstly you will look like an idiot ( it's a beach, not a nightclub) and secondly, all that sweating in the hot sun and swimming in the salty water will cause your makeup to run right down your face. Go for a light, subtle look.

The general rule of thumb is to try and go for an enhanced version of natural. 

Flushed cheeks, bright eyes, pink-ish lips.

Lip color: Use a good lip balm that has sun protection to moisturize and protect your lips from the damaging sunrays. Steer clear from lipstick that’s bright or heavy instead choose a clear or soft shade lip-gloss.

Eyes: To avoid looking like a raccoon after your swim its best to minimize eye make up as much as possible. The best thing to do is to curl your lashes and then apply two or three coats of waterproof mascara. If you still feel like you need a little more you can apply a line of waterproof eyeliner - this year  you can try bright and crazy colors to get the perfect look.

Favorites  For this Summer!

Make up For Ever Aqua liner

Pastels and platinum dominate Chanel’s make-up collection for the summer season, taking you effortlessly from beach to bar. Daytime eyes are shaded in soft greens, baby blues and Champagne pinks, while metallic platinum gives evenings a touch of summertime shimmer. Colourful lids are teamed with contrasting natural lips, given just a slick of subtle, almost sheer, peony pink or peach gloss, while nail colours range from a girlish pink blush to a bold yellow gold, the embodiment of Riviera glamour. Add a sun-kissed glow whatever the weather with the graduated bronzer, a blend of pretty rose pink, warm coral and deep brown that allows you to build up colour to match your natural tanned tones perfectly.

NARS 2011 summer collection.

Even if u don't have anything waterproof in your make up kit - u can always make it waterproof :)

I love Make up Forever - EYE SEAL -

Mix it with eye shadows, star powders, use as a base under make up and it will last longer and water resistant! 

I am not buying thousands of eyeliners - I just use one drop of eye seal , mix it with eyeshadow or star powder and make as thick or thin line as i want and in any shade that i want ...

Make up & products For Bronze Look

Midsummer celebration is over and as well long holidays!

But today i will write about products that i  found very nice for sunny time :) 

U just need few things to look really good on the beach, garden party, by the pool or wherever  you go!

I start with:

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Shimmering Dry Body Oil

http://www.thebodyshop-usa

Soft skin, bronze color, subtle highlight, amazing scent are just some of the benefits of using this dry body oil from The Body Shop's latest collection.

I can tell that i absolutely love this product-  i use it all over my body. On face as a base (it evens out skin tone and gives a bit of color).  On my legs- to get nice suntan look. If u wear clothes in light colors this product will leave marks If u apply it  using circular motions you will see how easy it blends and makes perfect & thin bronze ( dry finish)  layer. 

Then I Add :

The Body Shop Radiant Highlighter

http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com

This is a pearly pink highlighter, but the pink disappears as the product is spread on the skin and you're left with a sheer champagne glow. This highlighter is said to be universal and can be used on all skin types and skin tones.

"What it is designed to do:

Contains light-reflective particles to help reduce the appearance of imperfections and fine lines

Vitamin E complex and Community Trade aloe vera to help soothe the skin.

Panthenol smoothes, softens and conditions skin."

Though, if you're a bit tanned, sometimes this can look not ashy - but, all you see is silver shimmer. The way I've made this work for me is mixing a tiny bit of it with foundation ( that suits skin tone )

If you're new to highlighting your face, this face chart will help:

Apply the highlighter after you apply the blush, on the top of your cheekbones, forehead, chin and (just) on the curve of your upper lip.

Continue with:

MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua liner

Pigmentation is great and it wears very well throughout the day with zero flaking, smudging or fading too.

The liner is packaged exactly like Stila Sparkle Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner and MAC Superslick Liquid Eye Liner, and comes in a long, slim tube with a small foam tip that allows great precision. I adore MAC superslick eyeliner!!! (i use Make up forever cause the closest MAC store is in :( Estonia.  )

Finish Eyes with:

MAKE UP FACTORY All in one mascara

This rich colored mascara with its special brush lengthens lashes and creates intensive volume and a seductive curve! everything you need! Its long lasting and guarantees a rich color and excellent cover!

Final touch to Lips:

GOSH VELVET TOUCH Lip Liner Waterproof - peach pearl

http://www.buygosh.co.uk

GOSH waterproof lip liner - Peach Pearl shade. It’s lovely peachy-pink shade.

It looks natural, has fantastically intense colour pigments and contains both Vitamin E and jojoba oil to prevent lips from drying out.

In the End u would look close to this picture
