The Daily Face - July 18, 2011 - Heat Wave

Summer in New York City, hot but also great!  Why not feel hotter (in beauty not temperature) in bring red lipstick?  On my eyes I first applied Benefit cream shadow in a light gold color.  Next I applied the shimmery orange shade in the Scorching Sun Duo to the crease, outer corners of the eyes and all the way to the inner corners of the brows.  The brow bone should be the only part of the eye sans makeup.  I also applied the orange around the outer corners of the eye on the bottom lid, extending underneath the lower lashes.  I lined the inner rim of my lower lid with a little bit of white pencil, which makes the eyes look slightly larger, and applied many coats of mascara.

I finished the look with some seriously red lips.  Heat Wave is my favorite red shade because it has an orange base instead of blue.  Orange is pretty in this season, and tends to be brighter and more flattering to a wider array of skin tones.

Stay hot, but if need be I highly recommend cooling off with an Arnold Palmer from Cafe Cluny.
