Naked 3 Palette Look: Golden Peach




This warm look is created by using similar shades of eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick, with a touch of gold. 

Eyes: Naked 3 palette 
1. Prime the eye and brush "Strange" over the whole eyelid. 

2. Take "Dust" and put it on the inner corner of the eye, and then apply the golden "Trick" on the inner eyelid. This color is very light, so wetting the brush before applying helps pack the color on better. 

3. Apply the pinky "Buzz" on the outer corner of the eyelid. 

4. With a blending brush, apply the transitional color "Burnout" around the outer corner of the crease. Take the time to really brush it out to avoid harsh lines.

5. Also with a blending brush, use the color "Blackheart". Tap the brush a little before applying and only use a little product at a time as this color is very dark. Put a tiny "V" of this color in the outer crease. With a clean brush, blend it smoothly into the transitional color. 

Lips: Apply "Brave" by MAC and gloss a peachy tint on top. 

Face: Matte foundation with a golden highlighter and a bit of bronzer by Too Faced. Apply "Papa Don't Peach" onto the apples of the cheeks for definition and to tie the whole look together.

Neutral Eyes and Bold Lip Tutorial



This fun look focuses on the lips, perfect for summer with its bright color. With a fluttery, natural eye, the purple/pink lips really pop, creating a bold look that goes perfectly with more neutral or blue-toned outfits. Scroll down for a tutorial and list of products used!


 

1. Prime the whole eyelid and under the bottom waterline; my go-to is Urban Decay colorless primer. I then used the Too Faced "Everything Nice" palette to brush on "Dream On, a pale, nude color, all over the lid and brow bone. 

2. Take a matte, white color, such as "Turtle dove", to put on the inner corner and the highest point of the brow bone.

3. Take a blending brush and apply a soft brown eyeshadow in the crease to serve as a transitional color. Only use a little product at a time and use many tiny strokes to really, naturally blend it out.

4. Take a dark, chocolate-y brown to add a little more depth. Also, apply with a blending brush and put a little in the outer corner of the inside of the crease. Apply some under the bottom line too with a eyeliner brush. Blend out. Then use a black liquid liner to trace the upper eyelid and flick out, creating a wing.

5. Add lashes if you'd like. Then curl and apply mascara. I used "Falsies".

7. (Lips) Add a shimmery highlighter on the cupid's bow, and apply the bright lipstick, "Hot Plum" by Maybelline.

Must Have: One 'n Only Argan Oil



As fun as summer is, the toll it takes on your hair is not. Intense sun, salty oceans, and possible color treatments on top of that leads to a head of hair dryer than the Sahara. However, I have a solution to prevent my blonde locks from looking like fraying straw: Argan oil. Seriously, this might be my ultimate go-to hair product. With just a quarter-sized amount of this oil, my hair is repaired and ten times smoother, while taming fly-aways at the same time. It has been better than the other countless leave-in conditioners I have tried. Just massage through damp hair (I towel dry mine a little first), comb through, and either air dry or blow dry.


Personally, I avoid the roots of my hair, as this can lead to oily tresses the next day. Avoid applying there, unless one area nearby is especially damaged and needs attention. You can even apply it when styling to dry hair! Make an up-do or pony have a little more sheen by smoothing a very tiny amount across the look. Believe me, this product will make your hair look healthier than ever!
