Simply Beautiful Summer Makeup by M.A.C.

The key to this summers style is simplicity. When it comes to makeup, subtle choices should emphasize elegance in a way which is not excessive or overly done. Moisturize skin with an SPF 15 or higher to protect skin from the dangerous UV  rays you may encounter this summer. Applying Studio Fix Fluid foundation by M.A.C. offers flawless coverage with a light SPF 15 already built in. Allow for natural beauty to be accentuated by using more neutral earthy shades of eyeshadow. We recommend adding a bit of M.A.C. eyeshadow in Embark blended to the outer edges with M.A.C. eyeshadow in Naked Lunch. Opulash mascara by M.A.C. is perfect for emphasizing full dramatic lashes. Curl lashes with a lash curler, both before and after applying mascara. A favorite lip gloss, such as M.A.C. Prep + Prime Lip conditioning primer, paired with M.A.C. Cremestick Liner in Pink Treat gives lips just a hint of color without drawing attention away from the eyes. Lips should be light and lovely by using tones that are not too bright, while having just enough pigment to make that perfect pout stand out.

Lipstick for a Quick Beauty Fix

When asked what I can't live without as far as makeup goes, I absolutely love Lustreglass in Venetian by M.A.C.  The high shine lip finish from the M.A.C. Cosmetics line of  Lipglass lipsticks is my go to gloss for spring, summer and even late into fall. I'm absolutely obsessed with the versatility of the shade Venetian. One shade, three seasons, a fabulous look no matter where you go. Lustreglass is my save all for lunch with the girls, a day at the beach, or even a quick jaunt to the market. Whether going incognito on the weekend or at the forefront of the boardroom on the workday, beautiful dramatic lips can add the perfect amount of elegance to any style. Dressy or casual it goes beyond any gloss I've ever used, perfect for a quick beauty fix.
