A quick brush of the Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Clear Brow Gel on those brows and a light brush of K-Palette 1 Day Lash Up Silky Long Mascara will get your eyes to open up and make you seem bright-eyed and bushy tailed - even though you’re melting in the scorching heat.

There’s no better time to experiment with color than the summertime! If you’re ready to go out there with guns blazing, why not try the Anastasia Beverly Hills Amrezy Palette! The palette has 12 gorgeous colors that are a combination of shades you can use for everyday and a couple that adds spunk to your look. If you apply a little bit of Leo, the bright blue metallic shade in the palette, on your inner corners, it’ll bring attention to your beautiful eyes.

If blue is a little too bold for you, putting on Barb, a metallic lilac with a lime shift, is a bit more subtle but just as interesting. If eye makeup is not where you want to experiment, the Smashbox Crystalized Gloss Angeles Lip Glosses are great. The high-shine lip glosses hydrate your lips and make your lips look fuller. You can swipe on the shade of choice on its own, or you can layer it over your favorite lip balm or lipstick!

Tip #3 - Wear A Brighter Shade On The Lip

A bright red lip is classic and works all year round - especially when you want to look put together without really having to think about it, but in a different season, a different color might interest you.

The striking shade is beautiful and a change of pace to the neutrals and pinks we usually wear throughout the year, and in a formula that is creamy and soft, there’s no doubt it’ll sit comfortably on your lips throughout the day. If an opaque lippie is intimidating, there are orange lip tints available. The K-Palette Lasting Semi-Matte Lip Tint Stick is a great example! It adds a fresh and fun new twist to your look and who isn’t excited for that?
