Blue Eyes: Try playing with light coral or peach tones for the 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 5th Edition. The contrast will immediately make the blues in your eyes appear brighter. If you’re not up to sporting the warmer tones, try using a turquoise or royal blue to bring out the blues in your peepers.

Green or Hazel Eyes: Plum, purple or eggplant shades work best to bring out the green in your eyes. For those that don’t like purple hues, try using a forest or olive green to softly brighten your eyes. Try the colors from the 120 Color Eyeshadow Palette 3rd Edition!

Brown Eyes: Anything goes! Since the eye color is completely neutral, almost any colorful shade will look great. If you’re feeling daring, try using a bright yellow or bold blue for this season. If you’re looking for a softer look try using a lighter pink or soft blue tones. Our 88 Color Tropical Matte Palette has a great mixture of brights and pastels!

EYES

Brighter shades of eye shadow are vital to creating the perfect summer look. Instead of wearing darker shades such as gray or brown on your lids, opt for brighter neon colors such as neon green or purple. Just a swipe across your lids is more than enough to make your eyes pop. Our BH Party Girl Palette offers 40 bright eye shadows that you can use to brighten your lids.

LIPS

While darker lipsticks and liners are often popular in the cooler months, shinier, more colorful glosses, lipsticks and lip liners truly make a statement in the warmer months. Bright pinks and lighter colored lipsticks are ideal for balancing out a nice summer tan or making your skin appear brighter after the cooler months. However, even when you take a dip in the pool, you still want your makeup to look flawless. Our Waterproof Lip Liners come in a variety of shades for summer.

FACE

During the summer, it can get hot enough to make your makeup run, and sweat and oil can cause your makeup to smudge and look tired. However, when you make Anti-Shine Serum and makeup primer part of your summer makeup routine, you can keep your makeup on your face! Anti-Shine Serum and primer absorbs oil on your face and creates a smooth, matte surface that is ideal for makeup application. Our Anti-Shine Serum is ideal for all skin types and makes makeup application a breeze.

This Summer, switch your heavier makeup for brighter, lighter makeup, so you can look fresh and ready for anything all summer long!

The bright, neon colors of the Spring & Summer lip trend has been all the talk these days, and we are happy to follow! This is a major trend that I’m seeing on runways, celebs, and on the streets. I try to wear a different lip color every day with the help of our 32 and 66 Color Lip Palettes, BH Lip Gloss Collection, and Waterproof Lip Liners. There are so many colors…sometimes it’s too hard to choose! Here are photos of a few of my favorites for this upcoming Summer season. You will see how using a lip liner with your lip gloss creates much fuller lips – love that.

Products in the photos include the following:

BH Lip Gloss in Plain Jane, 80′s Diva, Studious

Waterproof Lip Liners in Nude, Raspberry, Blossom
