Protect With SPF & Look Faulous!


Summer is the time to embrace the old adage "less is more." When it's 98 degrees outside, who wants to sweat through all that concealer and powder? For the hot summer days, turn to a tinted moisturizer like Jane Iredale's Dreamtint ($36 retail). Dreamtint is moisturizing, has an SPF of 15 and is recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation. Dreamtint effortlessly gives you just the right amount of coverage and the perfect dewy look. Use a small amount, about the size of a ripe blueberry. Apply dots to the middle of the forehead, nose, inner cheeks and chin. Blend outwards toward the hairline and jawline. Finish with your favorite bronzer or blush to the apples of the cheeks, and get ready for fun in the sun!

The Perfect Ponytail

It's Summer time, and when the hot days are here we usually resort to putting our hair up to beat the heat. To jazz up your ponytail put some back-combing in the crown of your hair, then pull your hair back into a hair band, leaving a small piece of the hair out. Take the small piece of the hair you left out, and wrap it around your hair band several times until it covers the hair band. Use one bobby pin to anchor the end of the piece down and hide it from view, then spray a little hairspray on the wrapped hair and you're set! Not only will you stay cool during the hot days, but you'll look super cute, too! Enjoy!
