Keeping it simple is very important - there’s no beauty behind overloading on make up on all of your features. Try working on one part of your face like your eyes or lips, and let them be the point of focus.
Using a bold coloured lipstick or gloss can change your look dramatically. Pick a dark velvet lipstick for a sultry look (think dark maroon on a warm skin tone) or a bright coral or pink lipstick for a splash of colour.

Kind words of advice - be careful when you shop for a new lip colour, make sure you try the colour on your own lips to see if the tone suits your complexion. Cool skin tones will suit cool colours (colours with a blue base), and warm skin tones will suit yellow based colors like orange, deep red or chocolate browns.

It’s also a good idea to keep a small eyeshadow in your bag when you’re on the go. Sweep some eyeshadow laced with glitter over your eyelids for an easy and subtle look. Think sparkle isn’t your thing? There’s nothing wrong with experimenting with an eyeshadow with just a hint of shimmer.

Have you been soaking up the warmth and have just spent your day at the beach? Let your hair down and allow it to style naturally. The salt water from the beach will add volume and waves to your hair, just scrunch it up with your hands to enhance the look. Also, make sure you use a deep conditioner when you wash your hair to protect it from drying out from the salt.

Braiding your hair will keep your hair out of your face for the night, great for those with mid-length to long hair. Learn the fishtail braid this summer for something different, or just plait across your head as an alternative to the daggy headband.
