BEAUTY BAR: Soft Smile Smokeshow

July 7th, 2015 at 12:24am

This Fashionista is looking easy, breezy, beautiful on this rainy summer day. Her hair remains perfectly curled and voluminous, even though the rain threatens to leave it drenched and flat. Her makeup is flawless and complements her boho vibe nicely.

The makeup featured in this look has two main components: a light smokey eye and a soft lip. The smokey eye complements the black that is featured in her adorable cutout top and in her accessories. The light lip adds a little flirty fun, just like her patterned, flare pants (aren’t they are ah-mazing?).

The key to the perfect smokey eye is putting the darkest color only in the very edge of your crease and smudging it a little so it covers the corner of your eye. In the summer, it is important to make sure that you don’t go too dark. Using neutral browns to create the look is perfect for the summer sun. Picking the perfect shade of light pink lipstick depends on your skin tone, but make sure to not pick something too vibrant if you’re going to pair it with a smokey eye and patterned pants.

The key to summer beauty is simple and free. Wear your makeup in a way that makes you feel confident. Make sure to not overdo it, though, because summer is the perfect time to let your natural glow shine through. Also, always remember that boho beach waves will never go out of style, so pick up the curling wand or a great beach spray and fluff your hair a little bit when in doubt. Your hair will look effortless, even if it took you a couple hours.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? To complete this look you’ll need a good eyeshadow palette with plenty of different neutral shades. You will also need a light pink lip stain to ensure that your lipstick can weather anything that comes your way. Last, but not least, invest in a good finishing spray. These sprays really work and help your makeup stay on, even when the summer heat or rain threaten to ruin your look.
