WHAT COLOR LIPSTICK SHOULD I WEAR!?

With all the great colors out this summer it's hard to know what going to look the best on you.  Here you'll find simple guidelines for what color lipstick you should wear this season.

If your skin tone is fair...

Try a neon pink lipstick or a light peach-y coral color. And for fair skin with a slight tan, it's best to compliment lips in sheer peach shades with a light bronze pearl. These tones will warm up fair skin.

If your skin tone is medium… 

 Vibrant, orange tones with golden, deep or bronzed skin tones and warm coral and orange shades enhance medium tanned skin.

If you're skin tone is dark…

You'll look great with bright vibrant hues and coordinating lip pencils.  Or for contrast use the gloss nude lip which is always in fashion.

A few things we should all keep in mind...

Enhance your overall look with a dewy sheen: If you do choose a super-pigmented shade, contrast classic matte lips by adding a bit of glow to your complexion.  For a lighter coverage on hot summer days try a tinted moisturizer, or add a bit of illuminator mixed with SPF or moisturizer.

Always remember, a lip pencil will get you far. It will help your lip shade stay in place for hours!

For summer I love NARS Matte lipsticks in Carthage, Mascate and Montego Bay.

4TH OF JULY SPARKLE!!

Add a little sparkle to your 4th of July with Nars' Orgasm Collection. They even have a Super Orgasm blush that adds even more sparkle.  Healthy, natural looking color with just a hint of sparkle.  I love them because they add fun simply and beautifully and are just the right amount of color for a hot July night!!
Enjoying a holiday never looked so good.

Beauty tip:  To get proper placement of color on your cheeks look into the mirror and smile. Brush color on the apple of your cheek in a downward motion. The color will fall naturally creating a healthy glow!

THIS GIRL'S GOT IT!

I thought I would take time to mention someone who hasn't been mentioned lately but who in my opinion epitomizes my "Simple Beaute" philosophy.  This woman, who is 43 and looking gorgeous, has grace, confidence and is incredibly beautiful just on her own-her natural beauty shines through and she knows it! It's Jennifer Aniston.  She is a beauty icon in my opinion-her hairstyles for years have made news and set trends.  Her makeup is always soft and natural and she never strays from her true self and that is something I admire most.  She recently was shot at the Rock of Ages after party looking true to her beautiful style.  Soft makeup complimenting her gorgeous skin. Try NARS multi purpose body oil with Tahitian oil to achieve this look. Then two days ago she was photographed leaving Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris wearing an outfit that some called weird. I thought she looked tres chic.  As my husband knows, I love harem pants, and denim ones-Wow!  What I'm saying is that we all need to honor ourselves and pick something about our appearance to play up.  Like Jen does. So simply and beautifully!
