The summer months are a time where most of us want to look effortlessly beautiful. Light, natural looks have great appeal and caking on layers of makeup is the last thing we want to do, especially as the thermometer continues to go up.  Here are some easy and fun ways to enhance your summer glow:

Primer: This is a must have for those hot summer days. Primers are light and breathable while providing a stable base for the rest of your make up. Apply after moisturizing and enjoy a look that won’t fade even on those hot, humid days.

Foundation: Finding the right foundation is the key to that light summery look. Opt for cream foundations or tinted moisturizers for a glowing skin tone that won’t make you feel weighed down. If you need a little more coverage, go with a silicone-based foundation. The silicone in the formula adds extra protection against the humidity to keep makeup from running.

Eyes: As with foundation, look for eye shadow creams rather than powders to prevent caking and smudging. Choose light, bright colors to look your summery best. A shimmery gold is a fun color and it will add a little glow to your face. Pair with liquid eyeliner for a bold look which stays in place much better than a kohl pencil. Finish up with waterproof mascara and you have a look that will withstand your busiest summer day.

Lips: Lip gloss is a fun way to finish off your look and add a little extra shine. Try a tinted lip balm for a lighter option that will never run.

Most of all summer is about embracing your natural beauty. Here is a link to some more tips that will help you find your best look while still enjoying the comfort and freedom of the summer season.
