Every season, there’s some color trend out there that’s getting all the hype.  And that’s of course where sayings like “Orange is the new pink” come from. (That and Josie and the Pussycats.)

So, what’s the color of this season (upcoming autumn)?  Purple.  This comes in several shades, but plum seems to be the most popular.

To celebrate this new color trend, I thought I’d show you some of the best products in beauty and fashion that have that bit of purple.

Did you know that you can completely change your look by first applying a cream base or primer?  It’s true.

This means that you can have one eye shadow routine look two different ways.

Here’s how you use the base:

1. Find a good cream base or primer (more on this near the end of the post).
2. Apply this first.  Put it on your lid wherever you plan on putting shadow.
3. Apply your eye shadow look directly on top of the base.

Let’s say, it’s Monday and you’re at work.  When you got ready in the morning, you put on your regular dull appropriate makeup.

Oh how I love color!  When we’re wearing makeup, we’re dealing with color (whether you like it or not. ) Earlier this week, I talked about the emotions you may induce when you wear green eye shadow and green nail polish.

But do you know how to wear green eye shadow?  Honestly, I don’t see a lot of people wearing it on a daily basis.  If I do, it’s usually me, in the mirror.

So, if you’re not sure what to do, you can get some inspiration from these tips.

Or maybe you wear green eye shadow, but you want new ways to rock the look.  Here are some super cute ways to totally rock green eye shadow.

Before you throw on that perfect shade of red lipstick, you may want to think about how you’ll be perceived.

Although you may not have consciously realized, color has a lot to do with how we feel.  When people see you wearing that red lipstick, red eye shadow, or even red nails, they will feel differently toward you.  They will get an emotional reaction based on that color.  Most of the time, they don’t even realize it.

There are certain activities in summer that can just ruin your makeup look if you don’t plan it right.  There’s times when you get wet, like swimming at the beach or going to a water park.  And there’s times when you sweat, like most summer activities out in the sun.

If you don’t want to end up looking like a raccoon, you’ll need to pick mascara that won’t run.

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is just about on us.  What does that mean for us?  Fun in the sun!  Heat!  Sweat!  (Wait, I shouldn’t be excited about that last one.)

Proper makeup and beauty is actually different in the summer compared to the other months.  If you want to do this right, then follow the steps below.

• Use suncreen! Be sure to slather on that suntan lotion as best you can.  If you don’t, you can get sunburned and raise your chance of skin cancer.  Nothing ruins your cuteness like cancer.  Remember to: Use at least SPF 30, Reapply Often, Put it on whenever you go outside, even if it’s foggy.
• Keep those sunglasses on! Not only will you avoid any squint-related headaches, you’ll be protecting your eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.
• Less is more with face makeup! The more you layer on the heavy foundation and powder, the more you’re going to sweat.  It’ll also clog your pores up something fierce, causing acne.  You’ll feel (and look) a lot better if you get lighter face makeup, or avoid it completely.
