Sunny Side Up!! Summer Make-up

Summer is almost here and in this period of the year you have to take extra care of your skin!

First of all drink lots of water to hydrate yourself and use an cream that has an SPF more then 10. Use a foundation that also has SPF and is more on the sheer side...you don't want to have a runny face! Use cosmetics that are waterproof and always have a mineral water spritzer with you to use it over the day to cool and keep your skin from over drying of sweat.
Don't over do your make-up. Keep it simple and light...less is more you know. Sunlight help your skin to produce the vitamin B, which normally our organism doesn't make.

Now let's talk about today's make-up:

Start with a base. I'm using Seventeens Gel Base for eyeshadows. Take a vibrant orange and place it on the entire lid and crease, blending it as you get it closer to the brow. With a lighter, peach color, go into the inner corner of the eye and blend it with the orange.Place in the crease a fuchsia shadow and also blend it up towards the brow, but not passing the orange from before. On top, use a purple color, but just in the crease, to obtain a clean and sharp look. Line the upper lash line with black liquid eye liner.
On the lower lash line, use a turquoise green shadow and a waterproof black pencil on the waterline. Mascara and your done!


As for my face, I used the same routine, but with different products, suitable for summer.
What I used:
For the face: * Artistry Self Defining Sheer Foundation, shade Buff;
* Rimmel London, Lasting Finish Minerals Loose powder, shade 103 True Ivory;
