Earth to Summer!: A Pantone Colour Spread for Summer 2019
Remember when there was that bullshit meme going around the internet about taking a girl swimming on the first date so you can see what she really looks like? Well with the commencement of Summer, why don’t we go take a dip!
The Summer Pantone spread is inspired by earthy tones and beachy vibes that you can wear from day to night! Not only is the glam being turned up, but I wanted to recommend some of my favourite waterproof and water resistant products so you can be worry-free when you’re splashing around this summer (all products marked with an asterisk are long lasting, waterproof, or water-resistant).

EARTH ANGEL.
What better way to start the summer than with a glam night out! If a black smokey eye is daunting for you, ease your way into it by starting with a shimmery brown hue! Paired with a neutral lip, this show-stopping look will have all eyes on you. Start off light and build the colour; it’s easier to add more pigment than wipe the excess away.

LITTLE RED CORVETTE.
If a little pop of colour is more your style, try adding a rusty colour around the eye and pair with a warm neutral lip. Keep it simple and focus more on the skin; great skin is always in! Start with a creamy foundation and for that extra glow, add a liquid or cream highlighter. For photos, I added thermal water for some extra shine.

Avène Eau Thermale
Fun Tip: Put thermal water in the fridge and enjoy a quick refreshing mist when you’re soaking up the sun! A great way to cool off when you're not by the water or sitting poolside.
SANDS OF TIME.
Got some amazing baby-blues you want to draw some attention to? Try a golden sandy colour to make those eyes pop! This look is perfect if you want to spice up your no-makeup makeup routine. Whether you wear it to the beach or out on the town for brunch, you’ll be a daytime stunner everywhere you go. You can use a simple coat of mascara or amp it up with multiple coats to make your lashes long and strong.

GREEN HEAVEN.
Besides a natural eye and bold lip, my go to this season has been a shimmery green eye look. Focus a light green on the centre of the lid and a darker forest green along the outer edge and through the crease. To finish the look, pop on a gold highlight to the inner corner and some coats of mascara. This is a look you can darken up if you want to transition your makeup from day to night without switching it up completely!

Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer*
Fun Tip: The Jelly Primer can be used as a pre-makeup instant hydrator and tightens the skin for a smoother makeup application.
RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT.
Don’t sing the blues, dance the night away and wear the blues! Instead of darkening your look with black or brown, why not try a midnight blue? Whether you focus the colour or go crazy with it, remember to account for your eye shape and choose a look that will flatter you. You’d be surprised how taking the time to research makeup styles for your eye shape will change your eyeshadow game forever!
