April showers bring May flowers, yes. But should the unpredictable weather interfere with your look? I think not. Whether it’s raining one day or sunny and 75 degrees the next, it’s safe to say it’s officially getting warmer. As the temperature starts to rise, so do hem lines with everyone eager to finally let their legs loose and appreciate heat like never before. Along with the short sleeves, shorts and dresses, many think warm weather means light on the makeup thanks to inevitable sweating, but boy, are they wrong. Spring is upon us, and summer is right around the corner! Grab your boldest lip, your most “popping” highlighter, a few other personal makeup essentials and your favorite setting spray to hold it all in place and prepare to strut your campus worry free.
Many go for the natural look as we near closer and closer to summer, fearing looking too caked up in 80 degree weather, but, is it really ever a bad time for makeup? If you are one of those that see a bright color opportunity instead of a simplistic look when you hear “summer makeup,” you’ve come to the right place. Not only does clothing allow you to express yourself, but makeup can explain who you are, as well. This particular Fashionista has no problem spending a warm morning playing in her makeup, just as she did in the fall and winter. With a fun, wide sleeved dress, a white bralette and booties, she completes her look with a shameless full face. So you can’t miss this perfect contour and highlight—as well as to maybe keep your neck clear in the heat—she pulls her hair back into two loose dutch braids.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: To complete your favorite spring outfit, along with optional foundation, contouring and eyebrow filling, you can stand out with a bright liquid matte lipstick, a bronze highlighter to accentuate your cheek bones and a setting spray that will definitely keep you from melting off all of your hard work. Feel greater than ever in the heat walking to class, own your full face of makeup as people walk by wondering how it’s still perfectly intact, then thank your setting spray later. Here’s to completing the home stretch of the semester in style from literally head to toe!
