When daydreaming about summer, nothing better comes to mind than laying by the pool with a cool drink in hand or blasting happy tunes from your car as you achieve the perfect windblown hair with every window down. Although nothing worse comes to mind than the dreaded goopy, melting makeup face.
Luckily for us Fashionistas and Fashionistos, the fresh-faced and natural “no makeup makeup” trend is alive and kicking, but that doesn’t stop the makeup connoisseur from dying to experiment with wild summer colors like the versatile plum lip.
Suitable for nearly every complexion, (if you find the most complementary shade for your skin tone) the berry lip is wearable every season; swipe a brighter raspberry shade on before class to appear effortlessly pulled together or upgrade your nighttime look to va-va-voom with a vampy shade. Don’t forget a nifty lip primer along with your new hue to win the battle against the dreaded summer heat and humidity!
Take a page from this Fashionista’s book by balancing your lip color with your ensemble by rocking a bright analogous color like her cherry red capris to complement your vibrant lips. If you choose to let your punchy pout take center stage, play it up by wearing a creamy neutral.
What’s on the BEAUTY BAR: Pick your favorite fruity hue and swipe it on over a lip primer for maximum staying power. Tame and fill in your brows with a tinted gel or mascara to balance your look. Keep the rest of your beautiful face simple to show off your glowing summer complexion!
