Hey guys!

Just wondering if any of you have tried this organic line of make up? I got a free coupon to buy any one of their products but I have no clue what to get. I am torn between the tinted moisturizer, the pressed powder and the loose bronze veil....

I did read reviews on MUA but there seem to be an extreme divide, so I am back to square one...

Any recommendations would be appreciated!

What is that we all look for in a summer moisturizer?

I'll tell you what I look for...
One, it should moisturize
Two, it should not be oily at all.
Three, should not be sticky at all.
Four, should not feel heavy on my face.
Five, can have other additional attractions.

Now, how about I tell you I found not one but two moisturizers that do all this and have many additional features. How about that, huh? For reference I fluctuate between combo / oily skin type in the sweltering heat.

Let me introduce first to you: Clean and Clear Advantage Acne Control Moisturizer ($6, 4 fl oz)



It is a perfect moisturizer in terms of all the above and additionally contains Salicylic Acid and many wonderful plant extracts. The salcylic acid helps prevent break outs. Break outs are pretty common in summer keeping in mind the sweat, dirt, clogged pores etc. The salicylic acid is a big plus for me coz I love the fact of having my face protected against acne at all times!
The moisturizing effect is just perfect for combo / oily skin and it is Oil free! It spreads easily, is great under make up. It does not have SPF but works great under sunscreen.
The scent is very pleasant and does not stay for long. I love it mostly coz it provides the right amount of moisture - all day long.
I like the dispenser model coz I dont travel a lot. If you do, then stick around and read about the next product. The pump on this one is great and dispenses just the right amount.
Overall, a great product!


The other product is Biore Pore Minimizing Light weight Moisturizer ($13, 1.7 fl oz).

This is such a summer gem! Like the one mentioned above, it has all I am looking for and additionally promises to minimize the appearance of pores. You dont have pores? Great, well you can still use this and will love it. Read on, you'll know why.
I first brought this for a friend of mine who has a problem with pores. When I tried it, I loved it! It was a little difficult to spread but once applied it formed a smooth layer on my skin so much that my make up went on like a dream. My skin just felt ultra silky. It acts as a primer in terms of evening the texture of your skin. It is a light weight moisturizer which is great for oily/ very oily skin types. I personally would like a little more moisturize on my face. It also has SPF 15 and protects against both UVA and UVB.
The product comes with a dispenser which has a cover to protect it, hence making it more hygienic and safe for travel. I thought it did reduce the "appearance" of pores but does not reduce them forever.

I love both the moisturizers. I love them for their unique offerings and use them as per my need. They are great for most skin types in the summer. However, during the night a recommend a good night time moisturizer for deeper moisturizing.

Have you tried any of these products? If not, buy them. You will not hate me for recommending them to you :) Do you have a favorite summer moisturizer? If so, let me know, I would love to try them!

MAC shall be out with another new collection on June 12 ! The collection is called the Cool Heat Collection and is filled with bright blues and greens. I am not one who falls for the hype but this is one collection that I am excited about. Mostly coz I am totally into blues and greens right now.



This is one collection that brown girls like me can look forward to. The colors will all look great on our skin. I am mostly excited about eye shadows. I love the colors - Climate blue, Cool heat and Warm Chill and Warming Trend. I wish I could buy them all.
The lipsticks look good too but with my pigmented lips, I can never tell if I will like em unless I try it on my lips.



What about you? Are you excited about this collection? Will you be buying anything from it?

Why do I call it Bamboo? Coz I think MAC Bamboo would have been a perfect color to use with this green. Alternatively MAC Soba or MAC Motif would have been good too. But since I dint have neither, I settled for similar "looking" colors from the Revlon Neutral Khakis palette - Dont ever buy it. Another red alert product is Revlon Berry Bloom Palette. I hate them both. The colors lack pigmentation to the point where I took 20 mins to create this look. Though it turned out ok, I am a 5 minute face, person and this is way too much time for me. The colors have next to zero pigmentation , so I had to layer them over and over. The palettes look awesome in their black packaging, but nothing beside the packing is great. Ok...enough of my ranting on how horrible they are. I am off to returning these suckers.

The look however is great for everyday work wear. It adds a hint of color and some depth to your eyes. The black liner defines them making you look well put together. Above all, it has a hint of green to it and not the regular brown / apricot shade that is mostly considered safe for formal settings.
I later tried adding black eyeliner to the upper lash line but that took away the softness of the look ....



Cant believe tomorrow is Friday! The weekend is almost here...again!
I am putting together a list of the best bronzer and the best tinted moisturizers that I have tried or have heard great things about. So if you have any favorites let me know. Let us spread the word for other beauties out there !

Finally I got out my Prestige eyeshadow in Stormy and decided to use it to create a smokey eye. I think the smokey eye would have to be the most popular look ever.





Products used and Description:

1.Apply concealer all over the lid and under eyes.
2. Use a pencil liner to define your upper and lower lash line. I did this first coz sometimes the pencil liners do not show well if you try applying them over the eyeshadow.
3. Apply the dark grey color from the Prestige Eye Shadow in Stormy all over the lid.
4. Apply a sparkly black color on the outer V and gently blend it into the crease. Be careful with black coz you will have a lot of fallouts.
I used Milani Eye Shadow in Storm.
5. Now blend the 2 colors along the crease to erase harsh lines.
6. Apply a silver-white eyeshadow under your eyebrows as a highlighter. Blend this into the black/grey color so it doesnt look like a patch of white your your brows ;)
I used Revlon eye shadow in Pearl White
7. Line your waterline using a black eyeliner pencil. Smudge the black color using a smudge brush along the lower lash line.
8. Apply lots of mascara.

Dats it !! The key to a good smokey eye is blending. The key to blending is a good brush.
I highly recommend the Essence of Beauty brushes from CVS. Ever since I got them, I cant stop doing my eye makeup. They are so soft and just so precise for every kind of look. The brushes are even marked with names like crease brush, eye shadow brush etc, so its very easy on beginners. Above all, they are dirt cheap so you can invest in many many brushes without breaking your wallet.

You can make the look more intense by adding more black on the outer V and along the crease. I personally don't look good with that much black sometimes, so I decided to allow the grey tones to be more visible.

Hey Guys!

I am gonna play around with the background colors and stuff. I am trying to see if I can make the background and color combos different. So, if you dont find the familiar black / grey / pink combo dont worry, you are in the right place :) The place is just temporarily under renovation.

This look is inspired from Panacea81 - my most favorite makeup guru on youtube. If you dont know her, you have gotto check her out. I have been following her videos for a long long time now and just completely adore her.





Products Used and Description:
1. Apply concealer all over lid and under eyes.
2. Apply Milani Java Bean all over your lid carefully pulling it into the crease.
3. Apply a golden white highlighter under your brows and blend it into the brown shadow to erase any harsh lines. I used LA Colors - Truffles
4. Apply a blue eyeliner or a foiled blue eye shadow along the lower lash line.
I used Loreal HIP eyeshadow - Showy
5. Line the water line using a black pencil.
6. Apply lots of mascara and do your brows.

Dats all!!!

The more I use Java Bean, the more I am convinced that it is THE color for me. Though some people find browns boring, I have come to realize they look excellent against my kinda skin tone. What about you? Are you a brown lover too? Whats your favorite brown shadow?

How would you like to get your makeup at 30% discount all year round !! Read on to find out more....


CCO stands for Cosmetic Company Outlet. I visited my local CCO at an outlet mall last weekend and am excited to tell you guys about it. I am not sure how many of you know about these stores but if you dint then this is your chance to get to know them!

The CCO stores also known as CCS - Cosmetic Company Stores can be found in certain outlet malls around your city. Why should you know about them ? Coz....they are your source of makeup at 30% discount - ALL YEAR !! The CCO stores sell many popular cosmetic brand stuff for more than 30% off!!

The brands I found at my CCO were:
Bobbi Brown,
Clinique
Origins
MAC
Estee Lauder
Prescriptives.

I am not very sure about other CCO's and what brands they might carry but I know for sure that its a bargain to shop at CCO.
For example : The MAC Moisturecover Concealer ($15) was only $11 and Prescriptives Sheer Lipstick ($17.50) was for only $12.50!!!

One thing to know about them other than the discount is that they do not carry the whole product line from each brand. The stuff found is either from the permanent collection or from limited collections that are not sold at regular stores anymore. You might not find the current and happening collections at these stores. So, you might not always get everything you want but you will be surprised by what you do :) Apart from this, I believe they also dont allow one to purchase more than three items of the same kind.

I did not buy anything during this visit coz I am broke and I better not binge on makeup for a while :( But you guys can shop and tell me what you bought!!! Makeup from and for anybody always makes me super happy !! You can find the your nearest CCO - HERE

So, have you been to your CCO yet?

This look is inspired from Penelope Cruz at the Cannes this year. It was a simple look and can be worn everyday. It is great for conservative workplaces, interviews and other formal occasions! A lot of celebrities sport this simple nude eyelid + deep crease color, to add a lot of depth yet keeping it simple.
Checkout JLo, Shilpa Shetty and Penelope, all wearing different variations of the same look.



Products Used and Description:

1. Apply your concealer all over the eye and along the lower eyelid.
2. Apply a nude shade all over your lid.
I used the light nude shade from Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Eyeshadow duo in Natural Minerals.
3. Apply a darker crease color along the outer V and pull it into the crease and a little above the crease.
I used the darker nude shade from Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Eyeshadow duo in Natural Minerals.
4. Apply a dark brown color carefully along the outer V and into the crease. This adds the additional depth.
I used Milani Eye shadow - Java Bean.
5. Apply a light bronze highlighter.
I used the bronze shade from LA Colors Palette - Truffles.
6. Line the upper lash line and lower waterline using a black pencil.
7. Apply mascara.

Dats about it !!

How was your weekend? Too bad its almost over :(
I had loads of fun barbecuing with friends and visiting the outlet mall, a little away from my place. What did you guys do? I hope you got to relax and have fun!! Did you do any beauty buying? I bought a few things and I shall tell you about them soon !!

When fellow blogger and reader Ranjani told me she was going to Vegas, I couldnt help but be super jealous. My mind has been on it , since then. Oh how I love Vegas! I love the city, the energy , the exhilarating feeling you get when you are in that city !!! Its like you can live off that energy for as long as you are there. Man, I wish i could make a trip to Vegas soon....

Anyways, this is a look dedicated to Vegas, to everybody who is going there for this long weekend and to you, Ranjani :) Have a great trip!!
I would pair this gold - red eye look with a beautiful wine red lipstick. It would bring out the red in your eyes and add the wonderful confident feeling that comes with wearing a red lipstick.

While at Ulta yesterday, I picked up 2 Prestige eyeshadow duos. This is a look a created using one of them. It is a duo with a lighter two toned purple and a deeper violet-ish purple. I love the shadows! They have great color payoff, blend easily, absolutely no fall outs, cute packaging an the best part is the cost - $3.99 each. I got them one a BOGOF sale ...so I got both the duos for only $3.99!!!! That is an awesome deal, right!!

Products Used and Description:

1. Apply concealer all over your eyes and under the eyes covering all spots and dark circles.
I used Revlon Colorstay Stay Natural Concealer in Medium 4.

2. Apply a light purple shadow all over you lid.
I used Prestige Eye Shadow Duo in Morada.

3. Apply a violet or deep purple color on the outer V and blend it onto your crease.

4. Apply a gold highlighter under your brows.
I used the white-gold color from LA Colors Palette in Truffles.

5. Line your lower water line with the deep purple and use the lighter purple on the inner corner.

6. Line your lower water line with a black pencil and your upper lash line with a black liquid liner. Wing it out, if you feel like it :)
I used Prestige liquid eyeliner and NYC pencil in Black.

7. Apply mascara for the added oomph!





Dats all!!! The total cost of this look was less than $2, assuming black liners and mascara's are almost always available ;) I would advice pairing this with pink cheeks and pink lips or you can also go for mauve lips.

Did you like the look? I totally recommend Prestige shadow in Morada. I also love love love their liquid eyeliners and eyeliner pencils. They have a lot of color selection with the eyeliners. Let me know if you get any. Do try it while its on BOGOF at Ulta!!! I think I might go get few more while they are on sale...

Like I told earlier, I got these at Ulta for free as a part of their promotion. I picked the color I'm Outta Here mostly coz there wasnt much of a choice left when I got to Ulta. But if I had the whole range in front of me, I would have also tried Cram for an Exam, In the nic of time, Orange you fast.

The idea is simple - you pump the pen, the polish goes into the brush and you paint your nails. I think its a great innovation since manicure is such a big part of women's maintenance routine. Its best for people who are on the go and for people like me who are just bad at applying nail polish. I love the pen design coz it gave me more control and hence made the application easier.

The paint itself is very thin, almost water like but you get used to it pretty soon. The tricky part is with applying multiple coats. Since the solution is thin you definitely need to apply multiple coats for the color to be bright and fresh. However, the trick is not to let the polish dry before applying second or third coat. You start the application on a fresh nail and just continue building it up until you get the intensity you want. Do not wait for the first coat to dry before applying the second coat for it will just turn into a dirty mess. Plus, they dry very fast which is great for me, coz I hate waiting for polishes to dry.

It is great for travel and is practically leak proof. The pen is made of plastic hence no issues with breakage and is practically weightless. The brush however could have been better. I felt like it wasn't designed well. They put so much thought into designing the pen but left out the most important part - the brush. But then again, there is no denying how easy it is to apply nail polish with these sticks. I finished my feet and my hand in less than 7 minutes!!!

Overall, I love it coz it was free. The colors - awesome. The brush - could have been better. The design - great. Will I buy it again - may be ....but am not crazy about them to go searching for them.

Hey Guys!!

Ulta is giving away free Nic's sticks and you even get to pick and choose your color! Print THIS coupon out and take it to Ulta for your free gift. I got mine today in I'm Outta Here. Review coming up soon ! I love my free goodies! The offer is valid till June 3 but am sure they will run out pretty soon.
Lemme know what your get. I saw a blue and a reddish color too but the one I got a nice pink summery shade! Cant wait to try em...

Instead I chose to bring the ocean to me with this look. Its a beautiful teal with black and yes, I wore a cool hot pink lipstick with it! Yay....for the simple pleasures of life!

Products Used and Description:

1. Apply a concealer all over your eyelids and under the eyes hiding those dark circles away.
I used MAC Moisture cover in NW25.

2. Do your brows coz your eyes are going to be the main attraction today. HIghlight the area under them with a golden white shadow.
I used LA Colors palette in Truffles.

3. Apply a teal color shadow starting from the inner corner of the eye till about two thirds of your eye lid.
I used Loreal HIP eyeshaodw in Showy.

4. Apply a deep black color shadow on the outer v and gently pull it into your crease. Be careful with the fall outs. Tilt your head in the direction of your brush, to avoid fall outs. Blend it a little into the blue where the 2 colors meet.
I used Milani eyeshadow in Storm.

5. Apply the teal color on the inner two third of your lower lash line and the black on the outer end. Apply a black eyeliner pencil along the lower waterline.

6. Apply a balck liquid liner along the upper lash line.
I used Prestige liquid liner in Black.

7. Apply lots of mascara. Use falsies if you are into them.
I used Milani Great lengths mascara and Lash blast.

What plans for the long weekend, girls? AllI know is that I am going out and not wasting my holiday away sitting at home..thats all I know for now. DO you have any ideas for me? Tell me what you are doing...may be I could take a clue from you guys!!

Love,
Indian Girl

I gathered this list from one or many of the magazines I read last week. I love my weekend magazines fix! The best part is they are all way under $1o ! The prices mentioned below are approximate...


Best Shine Spray : Suave Vibrant Shine Mist, $4

Best Wave Enhancer : Sunsilk Waves of Envy, $4

Best Frizz Fighter : Pantene Pro V Transformation cream, $4

Best Hair Spray : Umberto Beverly Hills Regular Hold, $9

Have you tried any of these products? What do you think of them?
I am planning on trying the wave enhancer, I am so into curls for my long locks. Whats your hair fix?

I read a small snippet on this in Glamour or The O magazine and I really wanted to share it with you. This information could change your face routine for the better, this summer.


Now, how many times have you preferred a foundation with SPF over one without it....almost always for me. But is this alone enough to protect you against sun's harmful rays?
Apparently NO.

In laboratories the chemists test out SPF to check for their ability to help protect our skin against sun damage. For this, they use about 2 milligrams of the product over every square centimeter of skin. This translated to everyday terms would be about half a teaspoon spread all over your face !!!!!!!!!!!!! Now, who uses so much foundation?? I am not sure if even people on broadway shows , use this much! But then unless you use this much of the product, you are not going to get the required effect. What should you do then? Stick to your sunscreen lotion/spray for any sun damage prevention. Do not trust any other product to deliver the same effect.

So, the moral of the story is : The SPF in your foundation alone is not enough to give you any sort of protection you are hoping for. It is best to apply a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion of at least SPF 30 all over your face, neck and chest; wait for 10 minutes and then apply your foundation. Do not rely on the SPF in your foundation.

This look is all about Milani. All the products used are from my Milani boot. I did not use any concealer since the foundation they gave me was good enough! This post will be a mix of Product Review and Look Description.





Products Used and Description:

1. Face: Apply foundation all over your face. Use concealer if necessary.

I used Milani Glow Natural Brush On Liquid Makeup in Light - Medium.

First when I saw it was Light to Medium, I was skeptical coz my chin is darker than the rest of my face and I was worried if it would look ashy on my chin. But guess what....it was perfect! The shade brought together my whole face into one even color when wasnt too dark for the rest of my face nor too light for my chin. I loved it!!!

Plus the foundation is designed like the click lip glosses. It has a twisting knob on end and a brush attached on the other end. You have to twist the bottom and the foundation will flow out of the brush. The brush is very soft and I have no issues with it.

The coverage is light to medium which is just perfect for summer . i dont like using heavy full coverage ones in summer . I would much rather use a light foundation and let my skin breathe a little more. This is my new fav product. It blends very easily and is not making my face oily. I might buy the medium to tan one if I end up tanning a lot this summer. But until then this color is just perfect!

One thing of concern is the hygiene factor. We must remember to clean the brush often coz it directly touches the face and the product.

2. Eyes: Do your brows. Apply a golden pink color all over the lid and under the brows as a highlighter. Next apply a shimmery brown color on the outer V and blend it onto the crease. Use this same brown color to line the lower lashes. Line the lower water line using a black pencil line. Apply a lengthening mascara.

I used the follwing Milani Products:
Brows : Easy Brow in Natural Taupe
Entire lid : Illusion
Outer V + crease : Java Bean.
Water line : Easy Liner Retractable Pencil in Black
Mascara : Great Lengths in Black

I heard that Illusion is comparable to NYX Flamingo, MAC - Expensive Pink, Lorac - Mesmerize and Java Bean is comparable to MAC Mulch. Java bean is a little more brownish than mulch , I guess. The colors are well pigmented and blend very easily. It was very easy to create the look. Word of caution : they break easily , so handle with care.
The Easy Liner Pencil is good and easy to use. It does not smudge easily but then staying power is not so great.
The mascara is pretty good. I heard not so good reviews on Makeupalley but I quite liked it. It does not clump, gave me a good length. I liked it better than Lash Blast on my weird lashes. You know how sometimes the mascara becomes hard and it is very tuff to apply a third coat? Yeah, well that does not happen with this mascara. even the third coat applied easily without any tugging.
On my brows I used the Natural taupe color. It was a little light for my skin tone but then again darker colors are hard to blend and give a "made up" look. So I thought this was a good color choice for full brows that need just a little touch up. The spoolie on the other end is also very useful.


3. Cheeks: Apply a terracotta-ish color on your cheeks and highlight the cheeks using a shimmery highlighter.

I used Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset Glow.

It has a rosy pink - terracotta-ish color (thats the best I could do !!) on one side and a flesh toned shimmery color on the other. I LOVED the blush. On my brown skin it looks awesome. I strongly recommend this product. The is super blendable, super soft, very well pigmented and comes in a huge box which will last forever.


4. Lips: Line your lips using a natural shade. Apply a pink shade and top it off with a clear gloss.

I used Milani Luxurious lipstick and Lip gloss in Crystal. Lined my lips with Easy Liner Retractable Pencil in Most Natural.

The liner is very creamy and applies easily. It is the exact color of my lips, so I can use it with any color. Luxurious is cool toned medium pink with some purpleish undertones. Crystal is a pale pink sparkly gloss with lots of shimmer. I feel like the gloss has a tint of lavenderish sparkles in it which gives a very nice multicolored shine. They are a killer combination which makes me feel like barbie ;)


I highly recommend all the products used in this look. They are pretty cheap and are great for the price. Hope you enjoyed reading this looooooooooong post !

What plans for the weekend? I am planning on exploring a jogging trail nearby. Its suppose to be super scenic and stuff. Lets see....
Have a great weekend, beauties!

Did you notice Natalie Imbruglia at the Cannes? I thought she looked so effortlessly beautiful. My eyes were on her eye makeup. So simple and so "in". This year at the Cannes, most of the celebrities used gold in their eye makeup including Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, Natalie Imbruglia, Natalie Portman (love her!).

I love Natalie's voice and her song Torn came out when I was in high school. I never got the meaning as much then ...but remember it being played over and over on MTV. Remember the song? Torn......



Coming back to her makeup. I love that she paired gold and grey with her maroonish dress.My inspiration for this look was obviously her. The products used are so few, but the effect is just stunning I would say against maa brown skin!

Products used and Description:

1. Apply concealer all over the lid and covering the dark circles. Set it with loose powder.
I used Revlon Stay Natural Concealer in Medium 4 and set it with Maybelline Mineral power Foundation in Light 4.

2. Using a gold eye pencil line the upper lash line. Over this apply a golden shadow using an angled eyeliner brush.
I used Revlon High Dimension Pencil in Gold Flash and Loreal HIP Bright Eyeshadow in Bustling.

3. Use a cream based light Grey shadow and rub it all over your lid till the crease. Over this apply a powder Grey shadow. Blend it well through out the lid, so it looks effortless.
I used Revlon High Dimension Pencil in Flash Acier and the Grey eyeshadow from Maybelline Urban Blues Palette.

4. Apply a light golden shadow or a shiny peach eyeshadow as a highlighter.
I used Revlon Bare it All highlighter in Peachy Tease and LA Colors eye palette in Truffles.

5. Using the same Grey eyeshadow line the lower lash line and smudge it.

6. Apply a lengthening mascara.
I used Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara in Black



Dats Natalie's look for you!!

The key to staying stylish this summer shall be - G.A.B (Golds Apricots and Bronzes). The beauty industry has made it easy for us to follow the trends by bringing out this simple and sultry theme. Be it your eyes or your cheeks, G.A.B is the way to go for now.


On you eyes, a dash of gold along the inner corner brightens it up, deep bronze along the crease adds a sexy depth and apricots along the lids look great on every skin tone.
Find below a list of bronze/gold eye colors for every skin tone :

For Fair Skin: Stýli-Style Line & Seal in Bronze (1) and Senna Metallic Eye Color in Filigree (2).

For Medium Skin: M.A.C Paint Pot in Cash Flow (3) and Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner in Cocoa (4).

For Dark Skin: Redpoint StayPut Eyeliner in Conga (5) and The Body Shop Shimmer Cubes in Palette 15 (6).

For the cheeks, stay in style by continuing with the warm tones. Terra-cotta based colors are great for creating chiseled cheek bones, adding the extra oomph on your cheeks by applying them along the hollow of your cheeks. For the extra "out in the sun" look, add a touch of rose blush instead of pink so it doesnt clash with the warm terra- cota applied along the hollows.
Check out the best cheek colors for every skin tone, below:

For Fair Skin: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Sheer Highlighting Blush in Vibrant (1) and Shu Uemura Glow On Blush in Tranquil Pink (2).

For Medium Skin: Max Factor ColorGenius Blush in #110 Peaches (3), and Estée Lauder Tender Blush in #213 Rosewood (4).

For Dark Skin: Tropez Sweet Cheeks Powder Blush in Dusty Mauve (5) and Clinique blushwear in Shy Blush (6)


There you go, girls - Stay Stylish !

I've had this gloss for about a month or so now and I am super happy to say - This is the best drugstore longstay gloss .
The gloss itself has two sides to it. One side is the colored gloss and the other side is the shiny coat to be worn over the color. Without the shiny coat the gloss seems sticky and not so polished. The color payoff is brilliant. You get exactly what you see or may be even more. It is super long stay and super pigmented. For me it stay put even after 12 hours, even after a big Indian lunch buffet!!!!!!!! It does not come off easy, you definitely need a good makeup remover to rub it off your lips.
There is plenty of colors to choose from. I got this in Golden Pink and every time I wear it, it makes me feel super sexy . I pair it with black smokey rock chic eyes . It is also perfect for the beach.I guess,this color will look awesome on a wide range of skin tones be it Light/Medium/Dark. Another awesome color I strongly recommend for summer is the Citrus Glow. It is wonderful coral color which teamed with a good bronzer will give you the best summer look ever!
