Summer Reds

Red is a hue often associated with winter and the holiday season – however, few things look fresher than that perfect red nail teamed with a white outfit or a bright & rich red lip with a white pretty flower placed in your hair. Don‘t shy away from these perfectly fresh, ripe reds this summer!

 
Summer inspirations and lovely June hues – I adore the “One Hundred Flowers” illustration book by Georgia O’Keeffe. Gorgeous lush & blooming reds!

1. Our Face Magnet Primer is the perfect partner for a red lip, as it will counteract skin redness and even out the skintone. Packed with vitamins and caffeine, it gives a revitalizing and instantly lifting boost to complexion, making you look fresh & rested in an instant! Apply a dime sized amount onto moisturized skin using a sponge or clean fingertips and blend well. Follow with your favorite tinted moisturizer. 

2. Next, let’s define the eyes and brows. Spray a tiny amount of hairspray onto a brow brush and comb brows into place. Then, dip an angled brush into the hue in the Naturally Bare palette that most resembles your brow color, and carefully fill in brows until you have your desired definition. Next dip a blending brush into the deepest hue in the palette and blend carefully into the crease of the eye, right where the lid meets the brow bone. Blend until seamless. Brush a little of the lightest hue in the palette into inner corner of the eye and right under the eyebrow. 

3. Curl lashes and apply Peak Performance Mascara. Press brush into the lash root and work upward & outward in zig-zag movements, curling the lash as you apply. 

4. Lastly, making sure lips are completely dry and clean, fill them in with the Stain Stay in Poppy Red. Finish off with a touch of one of the red shades in the Rouge Mix to add a subtle dew. 

5. Don’t forget to paint your nails with our gorgeous Ripe Red Nail Glam to finish off the look!



Favorite red accents of the moment: floppy lightweight red sun hat and Kate Spade purse that fits all my essentials, such as my Stain Stay (which is kiss, drink & meal proof!) in Poppy Red & Brick Beauty.
