If you’ve already got your True makeup alongside you in time for summer, you might think that you don’t need to do any more preparation for the upcoming season. However, you can always expand your knowledge of cosmetics and application by seeing what Hollywood celebs are doing on the red carpet.
One woman who can give you inspiration is actress Isla Fisher, who recently wowed crowds when she made an appearance at the premiere of “Now You See Me” in New York City. The fiery redhead knew just which features to highlight on her face with her makeup, and she showed that spring is the perfect time to rock a pink, glossy lipstick. While she chose to go bold on her pout, she kept it simple around her eyes with a little bit of silver shimmery eyeshadow to make her peepers pop. With a hint of dark mascara on her lashes, Fisher was ready to turn heads!
If you want to wear pink lipstick without looking too bold, InStyle magazine recommends trying a matte appearance. Simply dab a small amount of translucent powder onto your pout to finish off your look.
If you're trying to revamp your makeup collection in time for summer, you'll want to familiarize yourself with colors that are exploding in popularity in the world of cosmetics. After all, the same hues that were worn in winter aren't going to fly come summer! Here are some of the colors you need to incorporate into your makeup bag this season to ensure that you always look trendy and fabulous.
1. Orange
Hollywood Life reported on Rihanna's orange lip color, which was shocking as well as refreshing at a time when only red reigned supreme. Don't rule this citrus color out come summer!
2. Sage
If you're seeking a breath of fresh air, you might want to consider a soft sage, according to Refinery 29. This hue is perfect for everything from nail polish to eyeshadow if you're brave enough to wear it on your lids!
3. Hot pink
Summer is the perfect time to be bold, so go ahead and throw on that hot pink lipstick! Allure magazine states that this hue can work on anyone who wants to have a good time at the beach this season.
With an abundance of summer makeup trends to choose from, you might be asking yourself which ones are worth taking into account. After all, you can't walk around wearing all of that stylish lipstick, mascara and eyeshadow at the same time! To avoid looking like a disaster, narrow down the trends you want to use this coming season. Not sure where to start? Consider the following tips to give yourself an edge.
1. Say yes to bronzer
Elle magazine claims that bronzer goes hand in hand with summer, so don't neglect it! It's the perfect cosmetic for those who want to add some color to their skin without baking under the sun.
2. Go dewy
You don't want your skin to look oily this summer, but Refinery 29 claims that achieving a dewy complexion is necessary for appearing fresh and ready to take on the day.
3. Matte your lips
Now isn't the time to opt for glossy lipsticks – it's all about matte lips this coming season. In addition, you'll want to choose a bright color for your pout to give it some intrigue and make it the center of attention!
It's no secret that Ke$ha can't get enough of the party life now that she's a famous singer, but the pop star seems to be growing up right in front of the world's eyes! Recently, Ke$ha showed up to the 2013 Billboard Music Awards wearing something refreshing – a little black dress. Her hair was tied back, sleek and casual – definitely different from what the pop star usually chooses to do with her tresses!
It's also worth noting that Ke$ha toned down her makeup for once. Instead of wearing flashy eyeshadow and more than enough eyeliner, she chose to play it simple with a small amount of black liquid eyeliner around her peepers. She had a cat eye look and very little mascara on her lashes.
On her lips, Ke$ha wore a light pink lipstick, then used a subtle peach blush on her cheeks for some color. Some would say that it was very adult of the songstress, who's been criticized for her fashion and makeup choices in the past.
Want to rock a pink lipstick that perfectly matches your pout? InStyle magazine claims that if you try to match your lipstick color to your gums, you'll have a winning look every time!
When seeking makeup inspiration, many people turn to Jennifer Lopez, and for good reason. The Latina superstar is not only renowned for her voice, but her natural beauty. Recently, Lopez showed up to the 2013 Billboard Music Awards in a stunning gold gown with equally eye-pleasing makeup on her face.
Instead of going bold with a bright color on her pout, Lopez chose to keep it simple with a nude lip gloss that gave her mouth a fresh look. On her eyes, Lopez wore brown eyeshadow that offered her peepers some depth. Black eyeliner and mascara topped off her appearance, providing volume to her lashes. Rather than attract attention to her cheeks with blush, she opted for a dewy complexion with concealer and foundation.
If you've always wanted to give your skin the sheen that Lopez had on the red carpet, you don't have to go to extremes. You can easily achieve a moist, hydrated appearance with moisturizer on your face, according to Bella Sugar. Finish it off with a tinted moisturizer, then remove any excess oil with a blotting sheet. This is an easy look you can wear at work as well as at the bar.

Anyone who knows anything about movies will tell you that the Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prestigious film events of the year. Not only is it where some of Hollywood’s finest are recognized for their work on the silver screen, but their fashion as well! This year, numerous celebrities showed up to the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival to celebrate a year that’s already been filled with blockbuster hits.
Many of the stars who attended the event turned heads for their ensembles as well as the makeup they wore on the red carpet. Whether you didn’t get a chance to pick up a celebrity gossip magazine yet or search the Internet for Cannes Film Festival news, it’s not too late to see who wore what in front of the cameras! Some of these ladies’ fashion and cosmetic choices will likely set the tone for the upcoming season.
Emma Watson
This gorgeous celebrity has come a long way since originally gaining worldwide fame in the “Harry Potter” movie series. At the Cannes Film Festival, Watson chose to show off her natural beauty through the makeup she selected for the event. Rather than opt for a bold lipstick, she selected a subtle pink for her pout. Additionally, Watson kept it simple with her eyes – it seems that she had a bit of silver shimmery eyeshadow on her lids to brighten up her peepers. A hint of black mascara was also added to extend her natural lashes. However, there was nothing more than that on her face to showcase her stunning natural features!
Carey Mulligan
Watson wasn’t the only star who chose to tone it down for the red carpet event – Carey Mulligan, who starred in “The Great Gatsby,” also decided to wear less makeup in front of the cameras. Just like Watson, she proved that you don’t need to cake on the blush and eyeliner to look beautiful! Mulligan had a bit of dark mascara on her lashes to give them some volume, but did little else around her peepers. Instead of going with a vivid shade of lipstick, she thought it would be best to wear a nude shade on her pout, which worked wonderfully with her skin tone. It appears that Mulligan chose to skip the blush and opt for even more simplicity on her cheeks, and it suited her incredibly well.
Nicole Kidman
Another renowned actress who knows a thing or two about walking red carpets is Nicole Kidman, and she was present at the Cannes Film Festival. Kidman chose to wear a peachy lipstick on her lips that shined as she smiled for the cameras. She decided to be a bit bolder than Mulligan and Watson with her eye makeup choice, creating a cat-eye look around her peepers with mascara and eyeliner, according to My Daily. This technique was executed wonderfully to bring out the baby blue color of her irises.
Julianne Moore
At the Cannes Film Festival, many found Moore’s poofy retro dress to be a little much, according to The Huffington Post. However, she hit the right note with her makeup, which gave her a lively appearance. Moore had a bit of rouge blush on her cheeks and complemented the color with a deep pink lipstick on her pout. She also decided to create a dramatic look using black eyeliner and mascara around her eyes to truly make them sparkle.
Whether you want to recreate Emma Watson’s look or Carey Mulligan’s neutral appearance, it’s worth taking notes before you whip out your bag of cosmetics!
When she isn’t singing and wowing fans on stage, Miley Cyrus is attending some of the hottest events in Hollywood. Recently, the young celebrity attended the Maxim Hot 100 Party and opted for bold red lipstick, long lashes and an ample amount of mascara to impress onlookers. However, Hollywood Life claims that she made one obvious mistake – she didn’t blend her makeup!
Whoever was in charge of Ms. Cyrus’ face will likely be getting a talking to after her appearance at this star-studded event. The powder used on the rest of her face was blended poorly – if not at all – around her chin. This created a mismatched look that attracted the attention of photographers at the party.
As you can see, these types of cosmetics mistakes happen to the best of us. However, there are a few ways you can ensure that you’re using your powder properly when you apply it to your face. TLC claims that it’s critical to blend your foundation all the way down to your neck to create a cohesive look. Then, blend all of your makeup seamlessly throughout your face, whether you’re using just blush or going nuts with everything from eyeshadow to bronzer.
As more celebrities begin to take advantage of summer makeup and hair products, we’re seeing an increase in Boho looks! It seems that more women are attempting to say, “I don’t care how my hair looks,” with their tresses as of late. One of these women is Ashley Benson, the star of the hit television show “Pretty Little Liars.”
Recently, the blonde bombshell was spotted at a concert with waves in her hair and something rather unusual – yarn! Glamour magazine reported on the celebrity sighting, claiming that yarn is going to be extremely popular this season. Ditch the headbands and opt for good old-fashioned string if you want to look chic in 2013!
Kate Hudson is another celebrity who’s adopting the Boho look just in time for summer. She was spotted at the Tribeca Film Festival with her hair down, full of waves that really showed the crowd that she couldn’t care less about her locks! She made it work, and you can too with a volume-infusing hair spray and a quick blow-dry with a round brush, according to Hollywood Life.
If you feel like you’re missing out on some of the hottest hair trends of the season, there’s no better time to brush up on the latest styles than now! Celebrities on the red carpet are doing a fantastic job of giving everyday women a little bit of inspiration.
One of the biggest trends in hair as of late seems to be the pixie cut, according to the Pittsburgh Gazette. Actress Charlize Theron is the latest to sport this ‘do, and it takes a brave woman to go without long, luscious locks! However, you might want to try this style if you’re getting tired of maintaining your hair with specialized shampoos and conditioners.
Another trend that you can consider is curly hair, which is also becoming popular around Hollywood. While some people find curls difficult to keep up, there are many hair styling products on the market today that can combat issues such as frizz.
If you aren’t sure about how curly hair will look on you, Allure magazine recommends opting for layers. This can give you the volume you need to rock some waves regardless of how your ‘do naturally looks on your head!
