Orange for Spring and Summer

Orange is big during spring and summer seasons. Most models wear orange make up in different type of hues during Spring and Summer runway shows. You can opt for a vibrant coral or a more subdued apricot color, depending on your skin tone. It is best recommended to wear this orange make up only at one area of your face, then keep everything else simple. Maybe an orange eye shadow or lip stick is enough. You can begin with a lighter, sheer peach tones to boost the natural color of your lips or your skin. Bright or intense colors may be too aging and dramatic.

A waterproof mascara is suitable for people who are swimming or those who cries a lot. It stays intact with the lashes and will only be removed by makeup removers made especially for this kind of mascara. The regular mascara as opposed to a waterproof mascara will run easily if washed by tears or water. Other mascaras have little fibers to make the lashes look thicker.

Mascaras containing plastic polymers should be applied to short lashes. It would cling to the end of the lashes giving the illusion of longer lashes.
