Here’s how it works. These products feature a pigment system created with chroma color spheres that, when applied to your face, join together with your skin to imitate your exact skin tone color. Chroma color spheres work to balance colors – even opposing colors such as blemishes and dark circles. This “technology” is old news in the art world, but a hot new trend in the beauty industry. This technology of advanced color-matching allows makeup to adjust itself to the tones of the skin. The results are touted as makeup that looks and feels natural because it leaves no streaks, no lines and no distinct signs of makeup use on hard to cover combination skin.

It used to be that if your clothes made a statement, your makeup tended to be subdued so you didn’t resemble a circus clown. Today’s makeup style has changed and it is equally as vibrant as your clothes. The trick is knowing which colors to punch up and which tone down. If you’re wearing graphic prints, let your most vivid piece of clothing set the palate for your makeup. Use the lightest shade as your eye and cheek accent color – you’re choosing whites, sands, pinks and shell tones here. For your crease or lid color look to the darkest shades. These can also be your liner color depending on how you dress you eyes. Mascara is all gloss black this summer when wearing high-impact colors or prints. Lips are either in a soft shade of your accent color or just nude with a swipe of balm to keep them looking healthy.

In case you haven’t figured it out by now, thin, barely there eyebrows are so out of style! Gone are the days when shaving or plucking the brows and redrawing them were seen as stylish. There is nothing cool about having a constant fixed expression on your face. So thankfully, common sense has started to kick in the fashion world and now dark and thick eyebrows are being embraced by all. Of course that doesn’t mean that unibrows and bushy eyebrows are something to imitate. The key to pulling off this latest makeup trend is to have your brows properly groomed and shaped. You’ll want to keep your brows’ natural shape or maybe add a little more arch, but that’s it. Clean up the strays and don’t be afraid to sport more natural-looking brows. To achieve this look, you can use the aid of brow powder to get just the right look.

The key to a fresh, day-sexy face is to keep it simple. If it takes you longer than 5 minutes to do your makeup, you’re doing too much. And if you’re using more than two products – other than concealer and mascara – you’re putting on to much. For a no-makeup look that accentuates your features so that people notice them and not your makeup, you want to always use sheer color. This is easy when you use two-in-one products like eye and cheek pressed powder or cheek and lip stain. You want to focus on pinks that blend browns or peach and apricot. Too much bronze or gold makes flakes of shimmer (which they almost always contain) stand out and sink into any creases on your face. For the healthy flush we all desire, use a powder brush and eye and cheek pressed powder to add sheer color to your brown bones, lids, to the fullest part of your cheeks and just above your eyebrows. Finish by using your finger to sweep low shimmer cheek and lip stain ever so slightly on your cheeks and lips. Mascara is always a must in brown or light black. Apply close to your lash line and you won’t need eyeliner.
