Summer Trend Alert: How Do You Feel About Going Nude?

Now don't get your panties all in a ruffle, designers and fashionistas have not gone mad, clothes are still in this season.  Remember that is how they keep us spending (and broke), however the world of make-up has taken on a cleaner, more natural look for the warmer months.

Spring/Summer has always been thought of as the time of year when color reemerges after being in hibernation during the cooler seasons.  However,  one of the biggest make-up trends transcending this upcoming summer is the appearance of a nude, barely there face.  While some may be thinking "this is easy" (because they don't wear much make-up), the "look" is that of a well concealed, set, natural appearance.  All this really means is that you have an even canvas achieved by the use of foundation, concealer, or powder. Additionally, the eyes are done up with "nude" pigments, mascara for mile high, voluminous lashes, lips are perfected with flesh toned balms, and cheeks highlighted with a light, warm blush if used at all.

I can definitely get down with this look.  Sometimes we get so caught up in getting "done up" that we forget that make-up can be used simply to enhance.  If you are guilty of startling yourself after removing your make-up (because even YOU forget what you really look like) you may not be willing to jump on this bandwagon, but I encourage you to try something new.  You may be surprised at the compliments you receive or attention you attract.  FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
