Trend We Had To Try: Neon
Lately, we’ve been seeing the neon trend popping up out of nowhere, not to mention those Resort 2013 collections that are being shown now by luxury designers, including Oscar De La Renta, ( a bit unexpected yet refreshing, to say the least). Besides the bright color palette we seem to wear during the summer months, more than ever is it ‘accepted’ to wear bright pinks, reds, purples, and greens in your hair.
Most commonly seen this season, the pink strands of hair, whether it be an extension, an ombre effect (like Nicole Richie's new updated look), or the entire head, is it just us, or is pink hair is everywhere?
Is this a trend we want to try? Absolutely! We’re thinking of maybe an extension or two…or maybe an ombre look at most, but to go all the way with a full head – sorry to say, but no way!
Feel the same way about even the least bit of pink in your hair? Then go for the pink/neon trend elsewhere.
Lips are a great way to wear a neon look, and there are limitless products (like Lancome’s Color Fever Lip Color in Rock Icon Fushia) to help you achieve an amazing, wearable pink lip.
No matter what you decide to try, we want to hear about it! Let us know how you’ll wear the neon trend this summer!
Nail a Natural, No Makeup Look
Go natural and get nude!
Take it down a notch from the neon brights and sun kissed color, for an au natural, nudey look.
First, take down the full face of makeup look with a tinted moisturizer, Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer with spf 20 is ideal. In general, during the summer months, you want to keep away from caking on the foundation and powder and stick to a moisturizer with SPF, that is light with some coverage. Feel free to dust some powder for shine free, matte skin, but remember to keep it light and only in areas that are necessary. Clinique's stay matte powder free oil is very lightweight, keeping skin looking fresh and comfortable.
Forget the foxy eye shadows and liners for a night and go with a nude, natural, earthy toned shadow with gold flecks or shimmer. This will create a natural look that will bring out your eyes. For the lip, steer clear of a bold red or fuchsia pink and go with a light lip liner, one you will barely see and shade in your entire lip (this is for a long lasting look). Then apply a nude lip gloss like Bourjois effet 3D les nudes lip gloss for sheen brilliance!
There you have it, the perfect way to perfect the nude makeup look. When will you try this natural, nudey look?
