New Beach Beauty: Products that can take the HEAT

There are many of us for whom a beach vacation does not automatically mean a bare face with simply sunscreen and lip balm. As much as it seems to go against traditional beauty rules that makeup doesn't belong on the beach, there are new products that are waterproof, or at least long-lasting especially in humid conditions, that can stand up to heat and moisture, while delivering serious color and radiance.

Highly-pigmented makeup colors heat up beach beauty in deep coral, fuchsia, and gold.  Try a two-toned lip look, or a metallic chrome eyeshadow that fades from one shade to another.  The new beauty balm formulas guarantee an even tone without masking skin, and the new bronzers highlight and give skin a warm glow.  

This year’s best beach looks are intense and colorful and meant to be seen.  No need to shelve your addiction to color or miss creating amazing looks.  Beauty this summer is HOT.

Metallic Beauty Trend for Fall - Shine On!

Fall runways were lit up with metallic fabrics, embellishments, and accessories.  Shimmering lamé, shiny silks and satins, leathers, jewelry, studs, and rhinestones were a common theme.  You might think the late seventies and early eighties were back with a vengeance.  Disco-era glamour is having a moment, especially for evening, and can be incorporated into your wardrobe and beauty looks for 2017 without harkening back to Studio 54. Think of adding a bit of shimmering depth to your make-up for a fall update that plays with shading to create just the right intensity and glimmer. 

Golden Eye:  Keep the blending to a minimum and create a well-defined eye shadow shape in a brassy gold shadow.  Highlight the brow bones and temples to draw the light to your eyes.  Use a liquid eye liner and create full black lashes for eye drama.  Choose a rich red satin-finish lip color and a rosy peach blush. 

Purple Rain:  Use deep metallic plum tones blended together along the crease of the eyelid and highlight the inner corner of the eyes with a bright silver shadow and finish with heavy black lashes.  Use a rose-pink lip color with a satin finish and a plum-toned blush.

Eye of the Tiger:  Choose metallic browns and greys to create a swooped cat eye shape, using a highlighter on the brow bone up to the eyebrow.  Outline the entire eye in liquid liner and use a metallic gold shadow on the inner corners of the eyes to create a cat-eye-like effect. Wear a metallic bronze lip color and a warm berry blush. 

Bronze Goddess:  For a more ethereal metallic eye, choose a lighter golden shade and blend it all over the lid up to the brow bone.  Skip the eyeliner and use a mascara that separates and defines rather than volumizes the lashes.  Choose a deep berry metallic finish lip color, and a peach-copper blush.
