A Cool Mineral Makeup Look For The Summer

Summer is here even though it’s been really cold and rainy in my neck of the woods.  But, regardless of what the weather is right now, it’s going to get HOT.

The makeup trend for Spring/Summer 2009 is all about keeping your look soft and sweet.  A lot of pastels are used.  So, I thought I’d share with you a recent look I wore that landed me a lot of compliments from clients, friends and family.  Everyone wanted to know what I was wearing, so here goes…

First, I wore a light application of Essential Cover Mineral Foundation in GOLDEN BEIGE 2 (my current color) mixed together with a sprinkling of Vacation In A Jar mineral bronzer which gave me a radiant, sun-kissed look.  Next, I applied a gentle sweep of CheekWhisperz Loose Mineral Blush in DUSTY ROSE along my cheek bones.  Then, I added a soft ‘pop’ of color in CheekWhisperz DELICATE PINK blush on the apples of my cheeks.

For my eyes, I applied PEARL BERRY Mineral Satin Shadow all over the lids up to the brow bone.  In the crease and on the lid, I blended in JADED LADY Mineral Matte Shadow.  On top of that, I blended CHILLED GRAPES Mineral Satin Shadow into the crease and outter corners of my eyes.  I topped off this eye look with smudging into the lash line ROYAL PLUM Eyelinez eye liner.

I lined my lips with ROSY MAUVE Liplinez lip liner and then applied ABOUT2POUT Natural Lip Gloss in PINK GELATO.

Voila!  An easy, yet soft and beautiful Summer makeup look that took me all of 5 to 7 minutes to complete.  Oh, and by the way, that’s NOT me in the picture above.  But I guess you’ve already figured that one out.  I had forgotten to take a picture of myself wearing this look, so I sketched it out using the actual colors (sans foundation & bronzer).

QUESTION:  What kind of makeup look do YOU wear in the summer?  Do you tend to follow the trends or just stick with what you know?  Leave your comment below.  I’d love to hear from you!

Yesterday I asked if you knew the answer to the question: “What’s the correct method for applying blush?” Two choices were offered:  Apply from the ‘apples of your cheeks back to the hairline or vice versa…

The correct answer is: Apply from the hairline towards the ‘apples’ of the cheeks.  Why?  It’s because the greatest amount of product is deposited on the skin at the first application.  So, you wouldn’t want a ‘blob’ of blush plopped onto the apples of your cheeks.  Starting back at the hairline will give you a softer, more natural appearance.  Plus, if you have a little too much product at the start, you can easily blend it into the hairline as opposed to trying to blend it out on the actual cheek area.

Question: Was this application tip helpful to you?  Let me know by leaving a comment below.  Thank you!
