GET SET TO FACE THE SUN GUTSILY!

Sun burn, unwanted sun-tan, dry skin, is closely associated with the scorching sunrays in summer. But does that mean, we should not be going out in the sun? Remaining behind closed doors and windows wont solve the problem. Face the sunrays gutsily, but with full protection. Never ever forget to apply sunscreen liberally all over the exposed parts of your body and face, before going out in the sun. Sunscreens with SPF 15 to 40 is ideal to be used in hot weather. And go for a sweat proof one.

Now, for the make-up, keep it simple and minimal.
1. Transluscent powder and tinted moisturisers are  a must have for the summer time.
2. Avoid using dark colours for eyes and lips in the daytime.
3. Bronzers and shimmers can make you look sun-kissed, so go for it, but be careful about its application. Too much of bronzers and shimmers can make you look very artificial.
4. Even for the nailpolishes opt for lighter shades like beige, pink.
5. Instead of liquid eyeliners, use eyeliner pencils or eyeshadows to define your bright eyes. Black gets boring at times, so grey, brown, navy blue shades can transform your looks.
6. For blushes, light warm pinks or coral shades will be great. But obviously, the shades of blushes which can make you look extra glam, depends on your skin-tone. Ask the sales-representative at the cosmetic counter, to choose the right blush for you, if you are not sure about your skin-tone.
7. Mascara is a must to complete your make-up, so opt for brown or black mascaras. Or you can also opt clear mascaras. For daily use, i would like to suggest, using a clear lash lengthening mascara.
