   SIMPLE.ELEGANT.SKINLOVE

Summers are up, let’s update our makeup skills with light, subtle look. We definitely don’t want the melting face or smudged tiresome eyes and caked up look. Here are few steps for a natural glowing look for summers.

1)Cleanse . Wash your face using a good cleanser. Massage your skin in rotatory motion to ensure proper cleansing and great blood circulation to the skin. Dab dry your face with a clean towel.

2)Moisturize. Apply an oil free moisturizer an block your skin with good moisture and nourishment. Then, apply preferred sunblock (prefer facial sunscreen over lotion sunscreen ) with respect to your skin type. And give your skin some good rest for 20 minutes.

3)Lip Moisturizer. Apply a lip sunscreen or lip balm with minimum of SPF 15. This will protect your lips from UV rays.

4)Primer. Apply a good primer, it’ll do its job in holding your makeup right. For beginners, you can use patanjali aloevera gel or rosewater as a primer. Let the primer rest in your face for good 2 minutes.

5)Base. Avoid greasy foundation as the look gets cakey. Prefer powdered foundation during summers. My recommendation especially for beginners is to use a bb cream with SPF. It gives equal coverage required, costs less, easy to blend and travel friendly. And most important apply moisturizer, sunscreen, primer and base to face and neck aswell. It’s very important to even out the skintone.

6)Conceal. Use a good concealer (avoid liquid form for the season) Conceal the undereye, lip & nose corners , and any other dark areas. Bye Bye dark circles. You can use compact powder or translucent powder to set the base right. Make sure the base is not overdone as it may turn cakey if you sweat.

7)Eye makeup. Invest on waterproof, smudge proof. Good mascaras, eyeliners and kohl/kajal. People with eye shadow love, prefer nude shades. Fill in the brows and highlight the under brow to get perfect eyebrows. You can also experiment with bright color liners.

           If you are a person like me and want to avoid so many products, flaunt summer look with kohl/kajal in the lower lash  outer corners, thin liner and loads of mascara or for full end kohl/kajal look with mascara.

8)Highlights. Blush/Contour/bronzer/Highlighters : Use these in very light and nude shades (prefer nudes) and have a shimmery toned look.

           If you are a person like me and want to avoid these but still want a natural glowy cheeks, apply Vaseline to the cheekbones and the required areas shown below.

 9)Lipstick. Complete the look with a nude lipstick (2 shades darker than your skin tone). If you have done a light eye makeup go ahead and wear bold lip tints with shade or undertones of red, orange, pink and purple.

10)Makeup setting spray. Set your makeup and feel cooler this summer by spraying a face mist all over the face. Let it dry for good 5 minutes. You can also get rid of burning sensation by spraying face mist whenever you feel so. You can also use DIY face mists

Hurray and the summer look is done....flaunt this look this season and be the limelight diva. BOSSuaLOOK
