Summer Dares You To Go Bold!

So, anyone notice the trends going on this summer and how there seems to be a trend for every person to be comfortable actually sporting on themselves? Let me just take a moment to tell you how over the moon excited I am about this! 
First lets talk about my favorite trend; Bold eyes!
I love colored eyeshadows, the more vibrant the better and it seems as if the beauty world has heard my pleas to be accepted and smiled down upon, because that is exactly what has been seen jiving in the industry.Take a look at Christian Dior, for example. Bold eyeshadows are definitely trendy and while I love bold makeup, I also think that us 'normal' people can tone it down a notch or few to make it more comfortably wearable with out having to be concerned that we look like we belong to the traveling circus. 
Instead of wearing the look so dramatically, try using vibrant eyeshadows along the lower and/or upper lash line to jazz up a neutral look? Or you may want to try stroking on a bold shade in the outer corner of your eye, creating a beautiful smoky look. (Visit me on YouTube to see how I made this trend more wearable for the average girl out there)

The colors you will see rocking this look will be yellows, oranges, purples, pinks and bright greens. Wowza!
Now, on the other end of the spectrum there is the natural beauty look. For those who may not be keen on the idea of wearing orange eyeshadow, you will be happy to hear that minimal makeup is definitely in, also, as it has been widely raved about the past few years. Showing your true self is the way to go, with emphasis on natural. 
For those of us who may not like the idea of going around the town with a 'naked' face, showing the world what we truly look like underneath it all because we may harp on imperfections we may have, there is always concealer, foundation and powder to help cover it all. Once you have prepped your skin, try dusting on a rosy glow to your cheeks and a swipe of mascara to your lashes, and call it pretty!
To go with the bold eyeshadow we discussed earlier, there is a trend to wear, not the neutral lipstick you would think, but bright and bold lipstick to boot! Who of us shall be brave enough to take on that challenge? Neon oranges along with fuchsia and corals are all the rage; can you imagine a neon orange lip with a vibrant green eyeshadow? (Can you say lemon and limes, anyone?) 
While pairing the bold shadow and lip together may be the 'in' thing to do, try wearing the bold lipstick with a neutral and natural look instead, or if you are feeling particularly feisty that day, go bold all the way!
So, no matter if you area trendy person or not, I guarantee that you will be jazzed about at least one of the many trends to be seen this summer. Like I always say, makeup is a way of expressing your personality, a way to be creative and show how you feel. Take these trends how you will and make them your own!
