Tip #4: Brighten up your pucker!
Nothing looks hotter on a lip than a bright sheer colour that pops in the summer. Stick to the glosses because they give a sheer look and don't be afraid of bright, bold colours. "Using a sheer gloss in a bright colour looks fresh and really youthful," Carmindy explains. A gloss will also give you fuller, softer lips than a lipstick.
Tip #5: Get glowing!
Give your skin a bronzy glow with a little bit of bronzer. The key is to apply it properly says Carmindy. First, nix your old habit of dusting powder bronzer on the apples of your cheeks, temples, nose and chin. "Make up artists who tell you to apply it that way have the right tools and can blend it really well," she explains. "Most women don't have the tools or the time, so they end up looking dirty." Follow these steps and you will look naturally golden. If using a powder bronzer apply to your temples and glide in down the side of you face next to your hairline and underneath your cheekbones -- not on the apples of your cheeks. Be sure to be light handed and blend well. If you are using a cream or liquid bronzer you can either mix a bit into your moisturizer and apply all over the face or use a sponge to blend it in the same areas mentioned for powder.
