Make Up Time! just Make Believe..

Doing our make up when the weather starts getting warm can get complicated. Not only do we sweat and end up staining our faces and having to 're-do' it constantly throughout the day, but we also go out a lot more (because it's sunny outside and all that), and that implies having to swap our day outfit and make up for a more suitable evening style.

First of all, it is important to remember that fashion is not only clothes and shoes. It goes way beyond that, covering everything from hair and make up to the way you portray yourself. Fashion is meant to be fun and creative. This season gives us the opportunity to do something different, something that can be a bit crazier than usual.

The make up style of the season has to be Pastel colours.
Everything has to look very simple and casual. Using a light colour as an eyeshadow, it can be anything from lavender, to mint green to canary colours.
The lips have to be light pink or something very neutral.
This look is perfect for a sunny day out, you will look fresh and cute without too much effort.

The alter ego of this look is the Disco look. There has to be some frizzy hair, with psychedelic glitter on the eyelids. This is not the time to be shy, if you're going out with the girls, a lot of glitter will do the trick. It is adventurous I know, but try it out and I am sure you will feel like a diva on the dancefloor of Studio 54. Don't forget to finish the look with a bright coloured lipstick, burgundy or bright pink will do the trick.
It is essential to remember that for this look it is never too much, so be creative, mix some colour and finish it all with a killer dress and heels.



In order to pull off a good neutral look it is essential to find a good foundation. Sally Hansen's spray foundation is great for the summer because it lasts pretty much all day, making you look pretty every hour of the day.






Another key make up piece for this season is the Sephora's Dusk Till Dawn Eyeshadow. It comes with three different shades of 'Lavender' with a light one, a purple one and a deep, sparkly brown and purple shade. It is not expensive, costing only 17 dollars! It is the perfect item to keep on your purse, once the day begins, you apply some lavender and as the day goes by you can turn to a deeper shade to give that killer look.




Finally, a lipstick. This shade of pink was made popular by Emma Stone, it's called Show Orchid so go and buy it!
