How to Wear Makeup Even When You’re Melting

Summer is the perfect time to experiment with a new look. Now is the time to shuck off your beauty routine and embrace your inner Paris Hilton with shades from Dose of Colors. Eyeshadow can serve as the foundation for your other plans. 

Neutral Nude 

If you’re going to sunbathe along the shore, you’ll want to match the color of your tan to the color of your eyeshadow. Nude is the perfect shade to match everything from your skin to your favorite pair of summer sandals. It’s just right for a midday lunch. This is also an excellent way to bring attention to an equally understated outfit. 

Bright Turquoise 

Look to the ocean for inspiration. Lovely turquoise waters just offshore speak of days with friends away from your cares. Turquoise works with a dozen hues of blue. If you have blue eyes, look to this color to show them off. The soft blue also flatters a great many skin tones. Pair with shades of pink for a day look. At night, it’s just right for that evening on the dance floor when you’re in the mood for subtle and not-so-subtle flirting. 

The Bling 

The bling is everywhere on the runways and off. You can join in this trend for summer with eyeshadows from Dose of Colors in vibrant, fun shades of gold, silver, and bronze. Add gold dust to call attention to the tawny golden flecks in your eyes. Silver need not be second place. A dusting of silver is one way to perk up your tired eyes for summer. Bronze shows off your tan even if you’ve only been sipping margaritas for a weekend. 

Understated Coral 

Shades of peach and coral extend spring into summer. Draw inspiration from all those lovely flowers you almost caught the last time you were a bridesmaid at your smug cousin’s June nuptials. A quick flash of corals with lots of pink undertones is the right way to say you’re ready for summer. Use it with that bright yellow dress you know brings out your long legs. A dark shade of navy is another color that has the right contrast for the orange tones in the coral. 

Lilac and Purple 

Lilac and purple span the same side of the violet side of the color spectrum. They’re both in great fashion this summer. You can join in the fun with your own version. Take lavender and bring it on when you’re going on vacation with your kids. It’s the ideal way to add an immediate touch of color to your skin. At night, you want to bring on the additional drama. Hot purple pulses with the beat of the moment. Go dark and you’ll look totally in style. 

Mixing it Up 

Eyeshadows are an easy, inexpensive way to mix it up and try on a new look for the season setting up camp around you. Just like that careless, freeing summer fling, there’s no need for any further commitment if it doesn’t work out. If it does, you can always establish a wonderful long-term relationship.
