Make Up for Summer Tanned Skin

Summer is here, so it’s time to update your make-up by following the new trends! 2007 summer make-up trends are all about fresh pink flushed cheeks, metallic eyes (throw back inspiration from the ‘8o’s), bold lips, strong brows, colourful hues from oh la la orange to azure blues and greens. If it's pretty hard to choose what suits you best, match colors and textures to your skin tone. If you have a nice tan it worths to show it and glow it!

Sun Touched Skin
Orange and tangerine shades are in abundance this season.
Not all can wear them but for those that can they are a great alternative to the pinks.
Those with golden skin will find that orange makeup will tend to warm and highlight the face like no pink ever could.

How to get the look

Make-up Base: Cover the face with a very light coating of either luminous skin cover or luminous moisturiser - the key here is a natural glow to the skin not a made-up feel!

Eyes: Using a peach toned shimmer powder or loose eyeshadow dip a finger into the shimmer then dab lightly around the eye both on the top and bottom.
The aim is to make it look like a sprinkling of shimmer, which results in a very sexy but simple look.
Apply a little extra shimmer powder on the very inside and outside of the eye to accent it and bring it out and coat your lashes with a brown mascara.
A black will look to heavy and detract from the lightness of the actual eye makeup.

Lips: Using a lip brush first line and then fill your lips with an orange toned lipstick.
To give the lips a sexy sheen pair your lipstick with a coating of clear orange gloss.
