All You Need Summer Beauty

Although here in Britain our summer months are rather short lived, for me summer is on full swing with the summer holidays in operation. With summer comes new beauty items and trends.

Nude Nails
A current love of mine, nude nails. They remain low maintenance for when you're spending time in the pools and your nails are chipping. Nude nails create a fresh, clean look that together can go with every outfit and give a classic look.

SPF
I couldn't write a post about summer beauty and not mention SPF, it's a necessity for the warmer months to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

Coral Lips
When it's the winter months dark, berry shades are the trend but come summer it is all about the brighter shades like coral. Coral can add a pop of colour to the simplest of makeup looks.

Nude 70's Lips
If you have been watching any of the current makeup trends you would see for summer it is all about the summer nude lips, especially those inspired bu the 70's nudes. My personal favourites are Mac's 'Velvet Teddy' and Kate Moss '45' both at opposite ends of the beauty spectrum.

SPF Lipbalm
Speaking of SPF and protecting your skin, it is also just as important to protect your lips.

Bronzer
In summer when you get that summer glow its great to be able to show it off. A way to enhance your natural tan is by using bronzer on the high points of your face where the sun would naturally catch. It will give the appeal of a natural sun kissed glow.

Metallic Tattoos
This trend arised in the festival season and were seen stuck on festival goers. They add little details to summer outfits, mine are bought from Kitsch*
