A Fresh Look on Makeup for the Summer

Company Magazine 2010

trend spotted: neon/bright eyeshadow (80s inspired)

Okay, first off I'd like to start off by saying that I'm NO professional when it comes to makeup. To be honest,    I don't really wear makeup. As much as I like to oogle at makeup in department stores AND drugstores and also beauty gurus on youtube I've never made makeup my permanent routine. I'm not sure what it is but lately I find myself being as much entertained by makeup as I usually get from fashion. Hopefully in the week I'll get to post a wish list of products I'd like to start wearing in the summer - nothing to heavy like a full coverage foundation. -______-

ANYWAYS...this photo is one of many beautiful but simple makeup ideas for the summer, although it is a year dated. *sidenote: don't you just love her freckles?*

bright nails

shades of blue (nails)

bold lips (especially pinks)

statement lips are as good as your statement necklaces were in the fall

If nothing else I will rock a bold pink lip because it is simple and bold

orange lips 

Although, in 2011 they are coral or a lot brighter than this

Poolside Pin Up for the Summer

Keke Lindgard by Johan Sandberg for Marie Claire Italia May 2011

Its hard to imagine that spring is nearly over when Canada is still being plagued with mucky rain and blah weather (I got caught in the rain yesterday in short shorts...but thats another story). Keke in this editorial has me in the mood for summer. Looking at this editorial i can nearly feel the heat and the slight breeze through her hair. I'm not really into the literal 70s trend. I'm more of a 80s or 90s baby but her looks styled by Monika Kropfitsch look like a lot of Blonde, Sexy, and a pool full of fun...what's not to love ?
