Sexy Summer Skin
by Sue Perez on 

Sexy Summer Skin that Is also Safe

 

Self Tan- Or what I like to call… Fake Bake!

There are several types of tanners: Tanners created just for the face, airbrush tanners, cream tans, bronzing gel, tinted tans and tan enhancers. There's body shimmer and bronzing powder. You can layer tanners as your tans starts to fade. How? Apply a temporary spray tan, you can then follow with bronzing powder or shimmer, be careful not to go too dark. Highlighters are great, they instantly give you that “glow”, I love crème shimmers best and self tanning the face and body preps skin for sun exposure.

Body Bling, is one of my favorites and you can find it online at www.unstoppabbleshopper.com Body Bling is Scott Barnes most coveted product that gives Hollywood that glow. Look tan, bronze, glowing, glam, curvaceous and highlighted! The original formula is a moisturizing, shimmering body lotion with a bronze base and golden highlights. You look tan without the harmful effects of the sun. Body Bling® Original rinses off in the shower so it is a good alternative to self-tanners without the waiting time.


Sunscreens- A temporary shield

You need to always look for a sunscreen with the highest SPF you can find and reapply it if you go swimming. Use a teaspoon for arms and legs but don’t forget the chest area, also don’t forget your hands. First signs of aging are there! AND make sure protection states whether it is for UVB (burn) and UVA (around) sun rays. Use waterproof for daily use especially on extra hot days.

 

Low and High End bronzers- get the most shine!

The prices can vary and the packaging is different  and so is the product. Drugstore brands don’t stay on as well, higher end lines offer colors you can swirl or mix with blush. You need to watch wear it is applied. Think of where the sun kisses you: forehead, top of nose, chin and cheek bones. Cheat your tan, by using self tanners, go to the salon for a spray tan or do it yourself at home, and your legs will look ultra slim and sexy. I’ve been spray tanning my legs and wearing skirts without the worry that I’m pale. It covers imperfections too!


What’s up face? Foundation tips.

Your color may change with summer months, so in regards to wearing your foundation, mix your color with a tinted moisturizer in a second or third shade that is darker than your natural skin tone. You may want to switch formulas from a moisturizing foundation to an oil free base. You can also skip wearing base, use self tanner, add SPF during the day with a light concealer or mineral foundation to your forehead and cheeks.

My favorite summer foundation is Motives Crème to Powder Mineral Foundation.

It looks so natural and has the most treatment benefits without sacrificing texture or color. Below are some of the extraordinary features of this summer must have:

  • Created using the newest technology with a built in invisible shield, rich polymers and silicone that protect the skin while smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles!
  • Exclusive multi-mineral complex helps protect skin and complements any complexion.                           
  • Vitamins C&E provide antioxidant protection and vitamin A conditions the skin.                                  
  • One step process with primers, silicone and SPF 15 all in one formula!          
  • Free of oil, wax, dye and talc.                    
  • Micro diffusers keep skin looking flawless and fabulous.

 

And here are my top 3 Image tips  for the Summer…

  1. Less is always more when it comes to makeup! Less clothing..Less makeup…
  2. For eyes… focus on lashes …Build your mascara and lash line with liners in lush navy blue shades, that’s right navy blue, it’s actually softer than black and a lot prettier.
  3. For skin….Try a crème to powder foundation or shimmery bronzer in mineral textures that will last!

    And my personal secret..a sponge..it absorbs moisture and leaves zero residue, what’s left? Your beautiful glowing skin.

Summer Time..Summer Time!
by Sue Perez on 

 

Looks like the rain is finally over and we are getting some beautiful summer days washed with sunshine and warm temperatures. I have been making changes to my makeup that I know everyone can benefit from and would like to share them with you now.

 

Face

Instead of wearing a lot of foundation, try using a sunscreen all over and adding concealer only wear you need it, like underneath the eyes and only to lightly conceal uneven skin tone. If you use powder, only apply to the T-Zone and keep your cheeks dewy looking.

 

Cheeks

Bronzer is the color Du Jour this season, so I avoid deeper blush tones in favor of shimmery peach or tawny tan hues. You will have a bit more color than usual so play that up, but don't neglect your sunscreen :)

 

Eyes

Everyone asks me for eye makeup recommendations and I personally like less this time of year. During the day your makeup will look better if you skip eyeliner and use a eyeshadow above and below the lash line. Add your mascara and experiment with lighter shades that have a bit of shimmer to them across the eye lids.

 

Lips

Lipstick contains more pigment than gloss so choose a gloss that you like the texture of, and use a lip pencil all over your lips first. This provides a stain effect that will keep your lip color lasting a bit longer when used underneath lip gloss.

 

Hair

With humidity and wanting to be outdoors at the beach our hair can be somewhat uncontrollable. But it doesn't have to be. I tend to wash and add a leave in conditioner on those cloudy days and blow dry after a shampoo other days. Wear your hair up and then let it down later in the day to control frizzy hair. Also, avoiding products that contain alcohol will keep your hair looking and feeling much smoother.

 

I am having a fun filled summer so far and going to Sunday brunch every weekend. There are more street fairs and outdoor activities so wear your summer looks with style and send me your questions and stories. I am looking forward to hearing from all of you!

 

Cheers!

Sue
