flesh-toned

flesh-toned

I've been loving this trend for quite a while now. I bought a special edition Sephora nail color in "Going Nude Eh" after Christmas. This colour was part of a collection designed by the amazing runway Nail artist Sophy Robson (http://sosoflynails.tumblr.com/).

I used the colour on a couple of photo shoots and I loved how easy it was to apply and how it made the models hands look clean and chic. I recently put it on my toes and loved it so much for a nice, neutral look when you are wearing sandals and open-toed shoes for the Summer.

I had a tough time finding it at the time, but now there are tons of flesh-toned polishes out there (check out the links below for some of them). I'm also really loving a nude-coloured/beigey nail with a dark, pastel or neon French tip.

Here is another idea which is a neon pink heart on a flesh-toned nail...

easy-breezy

easy breezy

































So here is yet another extremely simple look I thought was good for the Summer, or really anytime!

1. Moisturize skin/apply SPF and then dab your fave concealer where needed. I like MAC Pro Longwear in the Summer since it stays put longer in the heat and humidity.
2. Apply some longwear concealer or primer as a base on the eyes and apply a golden brown shade of eyeshadow, like the second in on the right (golden brown) from this Tarte set. Swipe a little under the eyes too.
3. Curl lashes really well! I just had a lash perm done and it's been great! Then apply thin, long coats of mascara to get extra length without too much volume. You can wipe your mascara to take of the excess product to help with this effect.
4. Smile and dab a hot pink cream blush, like this Make Up Forever HD one. Apply to the apples of the cheeks and slightly up the cheekbones (I tell my students to imagine a tear drop/egg shape). Dab a little bit onto your lips.
5. My brows are sparse in some areas, so I lightly filled them in with a MAC Brow pencil.

That's it... done! This is a very natural look, which is great for days when you are in a rush or it's so hot that you don't want to be layered in makeup.

This is what it looked like on moi:


Here are links to the products used (I used Clinique Mascara though, I actually really dislike the one from Tarte that comes in the set shown :s):
