Every Fashionista/Fashionisto knows that summer is no time to fuss over your beauty routine. It is essential to lock down an effortless summer look that can take you from your internship during the day to going out with friends in the evening. However, it can be difficult to establish an effortless look when the summer heat and humidity could be messing with your beauty regimen by making your hair constantly frizzy, or by making your makeup melt off your face before you even step outside.
This Fashionista has succeeded in creating a polished beauty routine that takes a minimal amount of effort. With most hair and makeup routines, less is more. This Fashionista curled her hair in a matter of ten minutes using only a curling wand and hairspray. Now, her hair will stay beautifully curled on any humid Chicago summer day. Curls are great because they can dress up any simple outfit.
Another quick beauty fix is a bright lipstick. This Fashionista used a lovely glossy shade that strikes the perfect medium between red and pink and instantly brightens the color palette of her face. The color is perfect for summer and can be worn in the office or even on vacation! The lipstick color is also a nice juxtaposition to the neutral tones that this Fashionista is rocking. With neutral tones such as sage, blue denim and brown, the lipstick and curls cultivate a look that is easily translated into an easy breezy summer look, perfect for a bonfire or a cool summer night. The delicate, gold chevron necklace provides just the right amount of sparkle.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To get this look, pick your favorite shade of bright lipstick and add it to your beauty routine. Make sure that your eye makeup doesn’t clash by picking calm, neutral tones. Next, the hair. Invest in a curling wand (I really like the ones from Conair) that will allow you to create perfect curls in a matter of minutes.
