Well as you all should know already is that spring has officially sprung here in New York! For all you people you probably just arrived here or haven't been here for long, the weather here has been the pits lately. Meaning the weather here was bad, not as bad as last winter, but it was almost getting there. I guess that's why God made seasons. So I read an article on a woman who gives us girls a little tip for the summer. I mean, if there is one season that hair and m
akeup are most important, it's summer. Think about it: you're out of school, you're having fun 24/7, and it's just a time to look super cute and pretty and let loose and create memories. I mean isn't that any teenagers summer about! Going out to parties, having fun with your friends, staying up until 5 o'clock in the morning. :) So she gave us a couple of questions that pondered over the last week.

I mean isn't that any teenagers summer about! Going out to parties, having fun with your friends, staying up until 5 o'clock in the morning. :) So she gave us a couple of questions that pondered over the last week.1. I want to have fun with color in the summer. How do I do that without looking like a clown? Hey my answer would of been, just don't wear make-up, then you won't have to worry about looking like a clown! (Unless your like my class mates) =D Although she had a different way of answering it:
"Too funny! You'll be relieved to know that there are ways to go from boring to bold without layering on the royal blue eye shadow and hot pink lipstick. The trick is wearing a bright color on one feature at a time. I like putting the focus on my eyes in the summer, so I'm dying to try a sheer, light teal cream shadow (I'm obsessed with Dior Eye Show in Pop Aquadelic) with copper eyeliner (Try Clinique - they make my favorite eye liners of all time). This combo will make almost any eye color pop. Another pretty look is slightly winged eyeliner in anything but basic black (Urban Decay Liquid Eyeliner in Crash or Shattered are THE best). Another way to add color is to line your top lash lines with your usual black or brown, then line your bottom ones with a really bright, shimmery one (Sephora brand eye pencils come in a bazillion shades and cost less than my lunch. Stock up!) For lips, tinted balm with SPF is the way to go. On the occasions that I do like a little more color, I apply pink or nude lipstick with my fingers and tap it onto my lips for the sheerest layer possible."
2. How do I keep my makeup looking fresh all day? My answer, don't get your face wet or start to cry. Trust me I've seen movies where the acters cry and black make up comes pooring down their faces, which I've always wanted to try for some reason. She said:
"Yeah, this is tricky. But after battling 100-degree subway stations during my summer morning commute to work, I came up with some solutions. Firstly, the less you wear, the less that you'll sweat off. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: do I really need that tinted moisturizer or foundation? If the answer is yes, figure out why, then try to fix the problem without that extra layer of gunk on your face. Uneven skin tone? Try using a gradual facial self tanner the night before. Having a bit of color will give the illusion of evenness and give you a nice little glow at the same time. Got breakouts? Cover them with small dabs of a concealer in stick form (they tend to be drier and won't migrate to other areas of your face like creamy formulas will). Avoid cream blush. It'll be the first thing to disappear off your face. Instead, try one that enhances your natural cheek color, like Smash box O-Glow. Go for waterproof mascara and liner and use an eyelid primer before applying shadow. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (It's worth every penny, by the way) works like a dream."
This proves that not all people have the same opinion, you could have your own opinion. I mean yea my opinion is something you won't say, but hey that's just me! You could do it up big if you want to.
