Avoid These Beauty Mistakes During Summer 2012

The majority of women change their beauty routine according to the seasons. Summer is the time for women to look their best.

While some of the women are really trying to achieve this, some of them try too hard and they end up committing the worst beauty mistakes.

Excessive exfoliation

We all need some exfoliation to have radiant and smooth skin but if you have exfoliation that is excessive, you could do more harm than good.

You should use the scrub only once or twice in a week also the buffing tool should only be used once.

If you remove the natural oils of the skin you could end up with breakouts and skin problems.

Makeup and no sunscreen

One of the main mistakes that women can make during the summer is to wear makeup without any sun protection at base.

If the regular sunscreen leaves white sheen or chalky residue on the skin, you could use moisturizers that are tinted or some other products that already come with sun protection.

Everyday smoky eyes

One of the newest and hottest trends of the season is having dark smoky eyes using dark browns and even blacks. Nonetheless it could be an overkill to wear this makeup on an everyday basis especially if you don’t apply any sunscreen.

You should have metallic shades and neons during the day and opt for the smoky eyes during the night.

Plucking the brows

It isn’t trendy to have skinny eyebrows during the summer and so you should let them grow and groom them. Pluck only those that prevent you from having the ideal arch. Apply some powder to make the brows look fuller. Naturally it may take some time to achieve perfection.

Shimmering lip gloss

Shimmering lips aren’t trendy this season. Instead, you should use neon orange, pink coral and other bold and bright hues. And if you want to achieve a more subtle effect, then the nude lips are just perfect for you. Stick to clear lipstick and bright pinks for the summer.

Face and neck

If you are using foundation then you should know that consistency is the key. You can’t have a flawless appearance if the face and neck don’t match. If you don’t want to end up looking like a clown, you should bring your foundation all the way to your cleavage.

Long hair

Although long hair is sexy, you should make sure that your hair isn’t too long.
