The hottest trend in makeup now: nude. And believe us when we say this barely there look is anything but boring. The trick to making it sizzle? Pick a palette that matches the natural color of your lips, and use it to play up everything from your cheeks to your tips.
If your skin colour is FairStart by priming your face with foundation, only where necessary (usually around the nose and T-zone). For extra-sheer coverage, choose a creamy formula and dilute it with a drop of moisturizer, or opalescent base, which will also add a bit of shimmer. Next, define and fill in your lips with a dusty pink liner and top with a nearly translucent gloss. Last, swipe an earthy eyeshadow across your lids and apply a few quick coats of mascara.
Tips : People with fair coloring can appear to have red eyes, since the contrast between pale skin and the inside rim of the lower lid is so extreme, notes Steve Marino for Eautrois, the makeup master behind the images on these pages. To camouflage, line inside the rim with a flesh-toned eye pencil, such as Prescriptives Deluxe Eye Pencil in Sienna.
Hair Help : The fastest way to tame thick, wavy hair in summer is to slick back the top and sides with a pliable product, like Bumble and Bumble Styling Wax, then gather the rest in a low ponytail, says hair pro Rodney Groves for Kerastase.
If you Skin colour is MediumBegin with a thin veil of luminescent foundation that draws out the golden undertones in your skin. Add a bit of intrigue by dabbing a pinkish-brown, shimmery multiuse creamon your lips, cheeks, and eyelids. Finish by layering on mascara and a rose-beige gloss.
Tips : Marino recommends "accessorizing" your face with a slate-toned shadow applied as closely as possible to the base of your upper lashes. This will embellish your eyes without adding loads of color.
Hair Help : To create a head-turning look without a major time investment, keep your hair "wet" by spreading a megahold cream, like Kerastase Nutrative Vinyle Nutri-Sculpt, to freshly washed locks using a wide-tooth comb. To truly flatten the little flyaways around your hairline, try hairstylists' favorite secret weapon.
If your skin Colour is DarkFirst, smooth a hydrating liquid foundation on your face to prevent ashiness. Next, dust bronzing powder across your forehead, cheeks, and nose and onto the tip of your chin for a believably sun-kissed effect. Finally, blend a bit of burgundy cheekcolor onto your apples, and add a deeper but matching glossto your lips.
Tips : Keep your eyelids in the same color family as the rest of your face with a grape shadow, such as CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Mauveberry.
Hair Help : To prevent African-American hair from getting too dry in summer, use leave-in conditioner in place of harsher gels or sprays when styling hair. Try Pantene Pro-V Relaxed & Natural Daily Oil Cream Moisturizer. |
