Tips

TREND: A NEUTRAL, FLAWLESS COMPLEXION

In the spring and summer, your best feature should be flawless skin. But since it’s warmer outside, you have to use a product that isn’t too heavy and won’t run down your face when it’s humid.

TIP: To make sure you don't over-do it, use a product that gives you sheer, light coverage that makes it look like you were born with smooth, flawless skin! Apply it just like you would your regular moisturizer. An added bonus is finding one with SPF in it!

TREND: A SUBTLE GLOW… EVEN WHEN A VACATION ISN’T AN OPTION

It’s not as easy these days to jet off for a weekend getaway, but you don’t want your only glow to come from the light of a computer screen either. The solution? Fake it with a subtle, natural-looking bronzer - one that will make friends ask which beach you spent your weekend at.

TIP: For a subtle glow that is polished, not overdone, use a bronzer that offers gorgeous color and one that offers a mistake-proof formula. Picking the correct bronzer will give the illusion of a soft, smooth surface. Sweep it across cheeks, forehead, nose and chin, neck and chest for a healthy looking fresh finish. Use it to create some cleavage as well!

TREND: ROSY CHEEKS FOR A FLUSH OF HEALTHY COLOR

A makeup must for warm weather is a rosy cheek to bring out your healthy flush of color spent from longer days outside.

TIP: If you are a frequent traveler or are often on the go, find the perfect blush for rosy cheeks. Choose a multi-tasker that instantly contours and accentuates cheeks while giving your skin sheer and radiant luminosity.

TREND: MAKE EYES POP WITH A WASH OF WARM, RADIANT BRONZE

A subtle application of bronze shimmer shadow on the top of lids is right on trend for spring and summer. With the same shade in hand, sweep color gently under the lower lashes to make your eyes stand out for a more dramatic pop.

TIP: Make sure the shadow is applied starting right above eyelashes and take it up just past the crease. Be careful though – if you apply it any higher, the look will go from being in trendy to clown-ish.

TREND: BUILD-ABLE MASCARA FOR THE ULTIMATE DRAMATIC LASHES

Lashes are full, flirty and sexy this summer and the easiest way to achieve the look is with build-able mascara.

TIP: To take the bronzed eye look into night, sweep black liner along the lash line on the top lid, curl lashes and apply two to three coats of dark black mascara. The great thing about Physicians Formula’s Organic wear® Mascara, besides being 100% natural and gentle, is that it layers easily and won’t clump.

TREND: EMPHASIZE FULL, SEXY LIPS

For warm weather, you want to go all out on achieving fuller, eye-catching lips with either lipstick or gloss. Luckily, it’s an easy step since both are no-fuss and easy to re-apply on the go.

TIP: Get the look with a lipstick that plumps to get the impact you’re looking for. To make lips appear even fuller, apply a gloss in the center of your lower lip - this will create the illusion of an Angelina pout. When using a lipstick or gloss, a simple tip to prevent runaway color is to apply concealer around the mouth then gently pat the area with powder before applying lip color.
