HYDRATE YOUR SKIN - Especially in summer, the warm weather dries out your skin. It is necessary to hydrate and prepare your skin before applying makeup. Look for water boosting products, don't go for the heavy base but instead for a gel. And of course don' t forget to drink a lot of water.

PREPARE YOUR SKIN - Always start with a primer for a flawless canvas. It will prepare the skin and will help your makeup stay on longer.

CHOSE THE CORRECT COLOR - Choose the base, corrector, and powder according to the color of your skin. Match the color to the tone of your neck, chest, and forehead. Discover what color suits you best; yellow-orange based. Once you find it, stick to it in all of your base products.

GET YOUR SKIN BRONZED - Give your face a little touch of sun. With a large brush apply your bronzer or contour to the hallows of your cheek, on the upper forehead, and on your chin. Use preferably a matte bronzer, so that your face does not look too shiny.

LET YOUR SKIN GLOW - Use the illuminator for the upper areas of your face, to get a more natural look. Do avoid applying it on your T- zone. Apply instead right on your cheek bones, possibly on your nose to make it look straighter, and slightly under your nose and chin to make the lips look bigger.

LESS IS MORE - If you want to go for natural beauty, forget the smokey eye look. Instead, use lighter and natural colors which go well with your skin tone. Bring your makeup to a perfection by using an illuminator, bronzer, and perfect eye brows.

USE TRENDY COLORS - Metallic colors are in, so have fun with them. Karat gold, true pewter, copper rose or aged bronze? Tell us what is your favorite and don' t forget less is more.
