Get Pretty: Summer products

To continue with this week's theme of how to dress for summer formal events today we're talking about the beauty products that you need to look your best. When preparing for a summer event you're going to be showing off more skin than you did all winter long so it's important to prepare. 

Start with a body scrub like Victoria's Secrety Bare Bronze Sand + Surf Body Polish (7) to get rid of dead skin and keep things looking fresh. Next stay cancer-free by using a self-tanner like Mark Instant Vacation Gradual Tan Moisturizer (8). If you need to look tan faster try an instant air brush spray like MAC Skinsheen Leg Spray (5). To give that bronze look an extra boost use a liquid bronzer such as Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Luminous Liquid Bronzer (4).

 One of my favorite things to switch up when doing my make up is my eye shadow. All the brands come out with new summer collections like the two above from Georgio Armani (1) and Maybelline (2). In the summer I like to go with lots of fun, shimmery colors. Anything flecked with gold will look great against a tan. Extend your lashes with a new lengthening mascara like Cover Girl Queen Collection Lash Mascara (6).  

Finish everything off with a light floral scent like Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Fragrant Waters Wild Honeysuckle (3).

Also make sure you show off that pretty smile to ensure you're looking your best. Like Audrey Hepburn said, "I believe happy girls are the prettiest."
