Beauty Tips For Summer Season Biography
source (google.com.pk/)
Summer, like winter, requires its own special beauty tricks. After all, it is in summer that your eyeshadow becomes a greasy pool in your eyelid creases, your hair falls flat or frizzes to a crisp and your hair color looks like mud against your tan.
But have no fear, there are fixes to your summer beauty problems. To keep you looking best, here are my ten favorite beauty tips for the hot season.
Embrace, Don't Fight, the Elements
Humidity can wreak havoc on curly and straight hair. But instead of fighting the elements this summer, try to embrace them. Curly hair is uber-sexy in summer. Keep away the frizz with product such as Phyto Plage Protective Sun Veil ($20) after a shower or swim. Your curls will will be protected, but they won't frizz up.
Super-straight hair "doesn't say summer," says stylist Mark Townsend in Harper's Bazaar magazine. Put your flat iron away for the summer and let hair dry naturally. Most hair has some wave in it, and beachy waves like these never go out of style.
If you are near an ocean, get in it. Saltwater has wonderful effects on all hair types. You'll love the look once your hair has dried.

Colored Hair Needs Protecting
The sun will turn colored hair all types of wild colors. Protect your color with a protector like Fekkai SunShine Shield Spray.
My stylist, Antonio Gonzales of Eva Scrivo Salon, agrees.
"I was at a really nice hotel in South Beach and this woman comes out of the pool and applies her hair masque. I was like, 'You go girl!'" says Antonio. "She was protecting her highlights."
Blah Hair? Get Thee to the Hair Colorist
Nothing is more gorgeous in summer than lighter hair. I look particularly fantastic with light blonde highlights around my face. Nothing shows off a tan better than highlights. Plus, color can add body to fine, limp hair.
When choosing a summer color, stick to natural colors. The sun will naturally lighten hair, so you don't want to go to an extreme.
Got black or brown hair? Consider caramel highlights or opt for all-over hair color a shade or two lighter than your current color. I suggest getting hair professionally colored or doing it yourself with a store-bought box. But beware the old lemon juice trick you did in junior high: Lemon juice will naturally lighten hair, but it is also wickedly drying.

Foundation Is Out, Tinted Moisturizer Is In
If you refuse to go bare in summer and can't imagine life without your foundation, consider putting away your foundation for the season and trying a tinted moisturizer. I'm warning you, you may never go back to your old foundation.
Lighter than foundation, tinted moisturizers still cover flaws but feel less "cakey." And while foundations can feel as if they're melting off your face, tinted moisturizers won't.
Most women are darker in summer, so if you insist on using your foundation, consider one shade for summer and a lighter one for winter. My favorite tinted moisturizer is Laura Mercier, which contains SPF -- a bonus all year round.

Go for a Bold Nail Polish
If you are flaunting your toes all over the place this summer, then consider painting your nails a fun, bright color. Bold colors such as hot pink or bright orange (don't laugh) are especially popular this summer and look great on most skin types. Bright colors are especially striking against dark skin.
When choosing your summer shade, consider your sandals. I plan to stick with my light pink -- anything brighter clashes with my favorite summer shoes. Sigh.
Don't Forget to Protect Your Other Parts
Studies show while most women know to put sunscreen on their faces, they skip their chests, hands and necks. Their faces age well, but nothing else does. Who wants to have 80-year-old hands and a 60-year-old face? My advice: When you apply sunscreen, take a couple minutes to slather it on your check and neck. Use whatever's leftover on your hands.
It's important to apply sunscreen a couple times throughout the day. One application in the morning won't necessarily last a full 12 hours.

What You Can Skip in Summer
You likely have your beauty routine that you've had forever. But there are some changes you can make in summer. Here are a few of them:
No need to wash your face in the evening and in the morning. Too much cleansing can strip skin of oils. A quick rinse in the morning should suffice.
Don't over exfoliate as you might in winter. Exfoliating removes the top layers of skin making it extra susceptible to sun burn.
Try not to shampoo daily. Instead, use a dry shampoo to soak up any extra oils. Your hair will be healthier.
No need for a heavy moisturizer in summer. A light one should do you.
Instead of tanning your face, use bronzer. Your 50-year-old self will thank you a few years down the road.
Pick the Right Self-Tanner
I once saw the gorgeous model Helena Christensen in the West Village. First I thought, "Oh look, there's Helena! We're the same height!" Then I thought, "Oh my. Helena's a victim of the orange, splotchy, bad self-tanner legs." I've seen quite a few orange women wandering around these days, a shame considering there are so many great self-tanners on the market that look super natural.

Keep Your Makeup From Melting Off Your Skin
For years I watched helplessly as my eyeshadow melted into my eyelid crease by the middle of the day. Then I discovered primers, which will keep eye makeup in place for hours, including through workouts, days at the beach and humid, summer nights. Learn more in Do I Need to Use an Eye Shadow Primer?
One other tip: skip the pencil eyeliners for summer and opt instead for a liquid liner, which won't budge as the day wears on. As for mascara, waterproof mascara is a great bet.
Don't Be Afraid of Shine
Dewy skin is gorgeous. Don't overpowder your face because you're afraid it's a grease pit. Instead, try blotting papers.
Pink, Flushed Cheeks are Gorgeous
Nothing's more natural in summer than pink, flushed, "just-back-from-a-run" skin. To get this look, apply bronzer on all the bits the sun would naturally hit: forehead, cheeks and nose. Then apply a pink blush on the apples of your cheeks.
See How to Apply Bronzer.
Pull Hair Off Your Face
Keep the sweat off your neck with headbands, ballerina bands, ponytails, loose buns or even kerchiefs. All are gorgeous looks for summer.
