Time to Say Bye-Bye!

No-Go List for Summer

Leave it for Later

Too Much Makeup
No one needs to wear foundation to the pool or beach and then watch it melt away. Here’s where my favorite, a tinted sunscreen comes in to play.

Run Away Mascara
Make sure to invest in a tube of waterproof mascara that will last all season, even if you’re not swimming…but just basking in the sun with friends.

Too Much in the Lash Department
Step away from your bottom lashes please. And, don’t return until late September. Mascara on the bottom, during the hot weather is not worth the mess.

Heavy Eyeliner
Skip this one until after Labor Day  as well.

Deep Dark Red or Black Nails
I love the drama, and I even have a hard time going a few shades lighter on my toes. I’m actually holding out on this one….until the day we publish the Summer Style Guide. We’ll have loads of time to wear the deep jewel tones over the Holidays. For now, keep it light, fresh and colorful. Try a clear crisp red instead. It’s time for a little fun!  And Your toes are a great place to start.

French Manicures
I’ve worn this look for years. What about you? Time for a change. I adore the clean look of a fresh coat of a simple nude or pink. Elegant. Absolutely, hip and stunning ( There’s nothing wrong with clean French Manicures…just thought you might want to try something new.)

Constant Complaining
It shows on your face. The Summer Months are here to be enjoyed. Take a break, a breath. Sit on a swing. Get a little sweaty. Dig in the garden. Run around the bases with your kids. You’ll never look more radiant, alive and beautiful.
