Navy Eyes and Berry lips are a great summer look

It seems like anything goes in makeup this summer -- as long as it's bright. Bronzer is still popular, but accenting a feature, eyes or lips, with color is the way to go.

To get the look started, begin with a matte face. Cosmedicine Medi-Matte Oil Control Lotion SPF 20  creates as smooth surface and glominerals gloSheer tint base bronzing gel   imparts a non-glittery bronze look. You are then ready to apply color.

One look is to focus the spotlight on your eyes, make sure your cheeks and lips stay nuetral. Try Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Sheer Highlighting Blush in Pure and Cargo Classic Lip Gloss in Luxor. For the bright eyes try lining in a bright navy such as Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Deviant and a turquoise shadow like MAC Eye Shadow in Aquadesiac.

Or, up play lips by using a bright pink lipstick like Face Stockholm Creme Lipstic in Instinct  or a berry like Bobbi Brown Sheer Color Gloss in Sailor. Use a soft pink blush likeMaybelline Mineral Power Naturally Luminous Blush in Gentle Pink or Original Rose. Line eyes in black or brown and sweep a soft taupe shadow over lids.

Don't forget to top the looks with a waterproof mascara such as Revlon's new Extra-Volume Collagen Waterproof Mascara for dramatic lashes.
