“Beauty Trend of the Week Pink Blush”

Pink Blush is the hottest beauty trend this week. Pink colors are always a great color for summer nights and days. Look naturally beautiful this summer with a flush of pink color to your cheeks. You can go for two hot looks this season naturally flushed or bold and sexy. My favorite makeup brands for pink blush this summer are Tarte and of course O Glow from Smashbox Cosmetics. For a slight flush to your skin mix cream blush with moisturizer, blend in the middle of your cheeks and you’ll get an instant sexy glowing flush. If you have oily skin use pink powder for a great summer look that will last in the heat.

“Summer Makeup Products That Last In The Heat”

Summer makeup products that last in the heat. As summer approaches our makeup needs to change with the upcoming season. Summer brings about a whole new makeup look for our complexions and many women have a hard time finding products that can last under the sun. The best summer makeup products contain all of these things

• sweat proof so your makeup always looks fresh
• contains sunscreen to protect your skin against the rays.
• Water resilient some products even last underwater.

Bare Minerals is a great summer makeup product that does all three things. You can use your mineral veil for easy touch ups during the day.

The key to looking great in the summer is first knowing what you look. Some women like to look a little more tan, and if this is the case bronzer is a great summer beauty must for you. You can choose from bronze styles to give your skin a sunskissed glow , or a matte shine free finish depending on your skin type.

If you have oily skin and combination skin be sure to use loose powder or a powder product for the summer. Powder blushes are also key for a great healthy look and if you’re feeling bold try gel based blushes as well. They tend to work well for oily skin.

“Beauty Trend of the Week Matte Foundation”

This week’s beauty trend is matte foundation. This spring is all about matte foundation, no shiny t-zone or foreheads. It’s all about natural matte complexions. Glowing dewy skin is more for summer months. For the prefect natural matte finish you can use matte foundation and matte powder. I’m in love with Make Up For Ever for a natural matte look. If you have combination or oily skin you can use a oil absorbing moisturizer before putting on your primer. A primer is key to a beautiful matte complexion. Make sure you pay close attention to your t-zone. When applying your powder be sure to use a brush, this will provide a flawless cake free complexion that is natural. You can re touch throughout the day with blotting sheets, and translucent powder if you need too.
