Makeup Wars Summer Eye Look

Affiliate Links


For this Makeup Wars, I did a summer eye look using my new Tarte Aqualilies  palette, a gorgeous collection waterproof makeup in neutral shades.  I still need to swatch and review it, so watch for that coming soon. I was headed out for an outdoor beer tasting festival and figured an eye look with some sweatproof makeup would be a good idea!

The palette comes with a card that has two different looks. I did the light neutral look on the card, which was named the “Poolside Look.”

This look used the shimmery light shade Parasol on the entire eye area and then the matte taupe Sundeck (my favorite shade) on the outer half of the lid and into the crease. The blue shade, Poolside, was used as a liner. I did the look rather light since I was going to be outdoors and wanted a more natural eye look. Here it is.

On my lips is Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip tar in Strumpet, which I got as a set with a matching nail polish. I love this shade! It is great as a long wear product.  I’ll have a full review of it soon.

I also used the blush mixed with a bit of bronzer from the palette. Here is the overall look.

What are Beauty Bloggers’ favorite products for summer? Find out with our Top Ten lists! Here are my top items in summer beauty products.

Summer Beauty Essentials

(1) Sunscreen. The top most needed item for summer! Looking for a good one, check out our recent Makeup Wars post on our favorite summer sunscreens!

(2) Waterproof Makeup: Nobody likes to sweat off their makeup, so give something like the Tarte Aqualilies Palette a try!

(3) Texturizing Spray: For beachy waves, use a texturizing spray, such as Alterna Ocean Waves on damp hair, then scrunch. You will end up with natural looking summer waves.

(4) SPF Lip Gloss: Don’t forget your lips! one of My favorite ways to wear gloss with SPF is with Murad Pomegranate Lip Protector.

(5)  A Big Beach Bag: Everyone needs something big a waterproof for carrying their summer gear. Check out Hayden Reis for some gun beach bags! I was sent a bag to try and it was sturdy, waterproof, and fun looking!

(6) Summer Nail Polish: Pick out some fun pastels, pinks, corals, and glitters for your summer nails. Use a sampler such as as the Sephora by OPI Life’s a Beach kit and do each nail in a different shade!

(7) A Floppy Hat. I love my floppy hat in summer! This Kate Spade Straw Hat is super cute!

(8) Ped Egg. As a runner with terrible feet, I need to do some serious callus removal for summer. The Ped Egg is cheap, easy to use, and super effective.

(9) Sunglasses: Get yourself a pair or two of big sunglasses in fun patterns of shades. At Nordstrom, you can sort for sunglasses by face shape, which is a useful feature!

(10) Bronzer: Look for a long wear bronzer that won’t melt in the heat. Too Faced Endless Summer 16 Hour Bronzer is perfect!

Dior Summer Makeup Look

Affiliate Links

Here are two summer trends put together. Pair coral and pink makeup from Dior with this summer’s hot lime green for fashion and you get this great Dior look. For this makeup look, let the lips and nails stand out with coral color and go for a light and feminine eye look. Cheeks should be bare or barely tinted.

Dior Summer 2013 look

Pictured are Dior lips and nails in the shade Delice and eyes done with the light pinks of the Dior 5 Couleurs Cheri Bow palette.  Dior cosmetics are among my favorites. The shades are always amazing and the shadow pigments are outstanding. It is one of my overall favorite brands and well worth the money in my opinion.
