Almost all skin care experts will mention that sunscreen is the most important summer beauty essential of all (and year round). It’s your best defense against damage the sun can cause to your skin; such as wrinkles, sunspots, flakiness, and general harm. Whether you invest in a spray form of sunscreen or cream does not matter as long as you use it to reduce the risk of the dangers from the suns rays. Once you have covered yourself with protection, what other makeup items will help make you look good all summer through? Keep reading to find out!

Eyeliner That Stays In Place

Gel eyeliner can be the best for this purpose, which is why it is a beauty essential. It glides on easily and will stay put all day. It is also simple to wipe off and correct if you get it wrong when applying.

Mascara Is A Must

Makeup does not look finished without mascara. Buy a waterproof one that is long lasting and make the most of your eyelashes. Most mascara comes in a range of colors, although black always has been and still is the most popular. Even if you do nothing else to your eyes, you can make them stand out with perfectly curled lashes and a good mascara.

Brightening Your Complexion

When you are applying your makeup you should add some highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones, to your eyelids and along your nose as this will give your face dimension and brighten your complexion. Tinted moisturizers are a good way of creating the same effect and they will not feel heavy in your skin. If you are using a foundation cream, make sure it is opaque to let your tan shine through.

Eye Colors

You need to wear eye colors that will last throughout the day and accentuate the color of your eyes. Dose of Colors eye shadow palettes provide all the choice you will need for great looking lid color. If you can buy one of theirs, or a similar palette, you’ll be good to go.

Take Care Of Your Lips

Your lips can be the first thing to suffer when you are out in the sun. They can very easily become dry and start to get sore.  A lipstick with moisturizer in it can help and there is a great range of colors to choose from. It may be a good idea to use a lip balm before applying your lipstick (or use it overnight). Use a mid-tone one for the best effects when the sun is shining bright.

Don’t Forget Your Hands

People take a great deal of care with their face to ensure that it always looks good and is not harmed by the sun. They can look years younger than they really are, and then you see their hands, which they have neglected to look after. Hands can be a real tell-tale sign of age. The same can be said of necks. Always make sure you treat it as well as you do your face, with the same moisturizers and other skin care products.

Keep your hands moisturized to help stop them from wrinkling. Care for your nails too as these can distract from your skin. A classic red nail polish always looks good, but soft baby pink tones can compliment the tone of your skin. A deep green color would normally be reserved for the winter months, but worn with white and a great tan can look amazing. A deep blue shade will make your tan stand out and is perfect for most skin tones.

Fake Tans

There are many different fake tans and ways to apply them when you feel pure white on the beach. An overnight bronzer usually has a good texture and you will wake up feeling refreshed and with an even golden glow. For the best results from any self-tanning you should prepare your skin beforehand. Exfoliate the day before or use a detox scrub. Doing this on the day you apply the tan will result it being uneven and not lasting very long. You should also ensure that your skin is well hydrated before applying any type of fake tan so that you avoid patchiness in the color.

The alternative to the longer lasting options is to use an instant bronzing cream. These are generally in spray form for an even spread. They dry within minutes, will not rub off on your clothes but will disappear when you take a shower. It is best not to go into the pool or sea if you are using ones of these.
