Summer time for me is the perfect time to shake things up! Last summer I jumped into having full pink hair and I loved it. So this summer we decided to do it again! I love to experiment with my looks by way of beauty products, styling tools and sometimes even taking things a step further.
Whenever I’m questioning anything to do with my tresses, I turn to my beauty team. Yes, beauty team. I’m lucky enough to work in a hair salon with all of my best friends so experimenting is always something we enjoy. Last week, when I was thinking of switching up my hue, I reached out to my oldest friend and hairdresser Dominique Limone and this is what we did!
The world can always be more colorful…

This Spring & Summer season is all about bringing bold and exciting colors into your make-up style. From pinks, yellows, greens, and blues – any of these bold shades will surely brighten up your look! Sometimes bright colors can be a bit intimidating or difficult to wear. If you’re feeling a bit shy for stunning shades, try incorporating some color into your makeup! It’s a really fun and easy way to change-up your make-up style for the warm months, since if you’re anything like me you’ve been rocking fall colors up until recently.
This season’s staple is a touch of teal on the eyes. It looks great with every eye color – bringing out blues and greens and brightening up brown eyes. Here is my favorite way to wear this look.
Under the Eyes:
I rocked under the eye teal the other day and I love this look. I’m blessed to have big blue eyes and this is a way I’ve learned to rock the teal but there’s many ways for all different eye colors and shapes. The lower lash line of your eyes is a great place to start with adding some color into your eye makeup look. For this area, try using a pencil eyeliner, especially if you’re adding the color to your waterline. It’s easy to control the line and you can smoke out the color if you so desire! I would recommend Urban Decays 24/7 Glide on Pencil in “Deep End”. I followed up my liner with a vibrant teal color by NYX Cosmetics to smoke out my lower lash-line.
Layered Liners:
For those of us with a delicate hand and love the winged eye look there are awesome ways to layer your gel or liquid liners to create a more dramatic eye look. Just do your cat eyes as usual and then add the teal eyeliner right above your regular eyeliner to create extra drama. Liquid eyeliner is ideal for creating this look and I love Milani’s Ultrafine Liquid Eyeliner in “Emerald Glisten”. It’s a beautiful teal color and it’s affordable as well! I find this keeps with the classy and classic look of the solid black cat eyeliner but brings you closer with the teal.
All Over Teal:
If you’re feeling adventurous and daring then completely smoking out your eye with a blue/teal color is definitely right up your ally. One of my co-workers loves this look and I find myself complimenting her make-up every time she rocks it. You can go bolder if you wish, by adding a eye-catching teal pigment to your lids and lower lash line. Or you can keep it simple with a light teal or blue on your lids and incorporate a natural lip. The light shimmer of the blue or all around boldness will make your eyes stand out and sparkle.
Let me know which colors you like to incorporate into your style for summer.
