Some tips on the color choices for a good summer look.
- Always pick eye shadow that has 2 colors in the same family but with different shades (meaning one lighter, one darker, see above chancel collection)
- Always apply lighter color in the inner corner of the eye lid and upper eye lid first
- darker color should be applied after the light color and must bee closer to the eye line. You should smudge it outward to create a natural blend into the lighter color.
I have a trick to keep make-up longer lasting. Spray some toner after you complete your make up to keep the powders based make-up in place. If you use mostly oil based make-up product, then this trick is not recommended. However, I will suggest to not use oil or cream based make-up products in the summer, because they can clog pores easily and your make-up will actually fall apart quickly in the heat..
Enjoy my Queen Bees~~
