TOP 4 SPRING/SUMMER BEAUTY TRENDS


Can you believe it’s already June 4th! There are only a little less than 3 weeks until the first official day of summer! How crazy is that!?

In our last #ProjectSummerBody post, we gave you a how-to on wearing denim shorts plus a mini leg workout for sexy beach legs. Now, we’re sharing our top 4 spring/summer beauty tips.


Orange Lips.


At first glance orange lipstick can seem a little intimidating but, not to worry- there’s a perfect shade of orange for every skintone. From neon to subtle orange and everything in between, there’s a shade to compliment your complexion.

Try This: To find your perfect shade of orange lipstick, we recommend visiting a makeup counter at your favorite department store and having one of their artists help you select the best look for you. 


Braided Crown



Messy braids were seen on many runways during New York Fashion Week. Designers such as Thakoon, Giles, Rachel Zoe and Rebecca Minkoff all featured these carefree, slightly messy dos. Our favorite hair trend for the spring/summer is the messy braided crown. It’s super stylish, comfortable and great for staying cool in the hotter months. 


Tomboy Eyebrows. 



Blunt, tomboy eyebrows were also popular on the New York Fashion Week catwalks and we’re loving this look!

Try This: Try using Benefit’s Gimme Brown to achieve this look.  


A Fresh Face.


The ‘no makeup’ makeup look is another big trend this season. With the temperatures rising in the spring/summer, this look is a must. We love the colorful lips and eye shadows but nothing beats the simplicity and effortlessness of an au naturel look.




What are your favorite beauty trends for the spring and summer?
