nude summer make-up TrendWith summer literally right around the corner i have found myself searching

for simple and easy looks while taking the kids to play dates and for last

minute brunch dates with girlfriends.

i typically do not purchase cosmetics from Walmart, but i wanted to create

this new look on a budget. With affordability of the rimmel london line i was

able to pick-up an entire new summer look for less than $30!

When creating this new on-trend look I kept it simple:

1. rimmel scandaleyes Waterproof kohl eyeliner in Black

2. rimmel lasting finish by kate in rosetto

3. rimmel stay matte pressed powder in Buff Beige

4. rimmel Natural Bronzer

5. glam’ eyes Quad eyeshadow in sun safari

6. rimmel stay glossy lip gloss in seduce me

rimmel real BeauTy What’s on my lips?rimmel lasting finish by kate in rossetto- this lipstick is amazing. the color is so pretty and even

though i am wearing it for a subtle look, it would also look great with a smokey eye!

rimmel stay glossy lip gloss in endless summer- this is a shear lip gloss with sparkles! it’s

buildable but i like to wear it on top of rossetto for extra shine!

and why do i look a bit smug here?

Because i have a secret to tell you.

my face never sees sunlight. ever.

Basically i’m trying to avoid joining

the Botox squad.

i use a sunscreen lotion and

sometimes foundation with

sunscreen. i also tan really easily

so that means brown body, white

face syndrome. therefore bronzer

is my friend, especially during the

summer.

Trying a naTural lOOk fOr summerseriously, bronzer and sunglasses are my true summer must haves. i just sweep it over my

face and neck and blend it in a bit and i’m good to go. i am used to using blush though, so just

bronzer was kind of different. What’s the last piece of the puzzle? a little stayglossy lipgloss.

i’m more of a red tinted lip balm kinda girl so it was strange for me to try a nude color. i was

paranoid that i’d look weird. Naked. No blush? No lip balm? lipgloss with a sparkle? actually,

it worked if you ask me. the finished look felt very “i’m not trying, but i look put together” to me

and really, isn’t that what we want anyway?

10

I sincerely did like these products, and for this price, I can definitely envision using them again.

geTTing fresH faced & gOrgeOusyou may remember my last experiment

with makeup here at green & gorgeous.

it went pretty well, so that gave me

some courage to keep trying new

products and techniques. so when i was

given the opportunity to shop for some

great, affordable makeup by rimmel

and create a fresh-faced nude summer

look, i jumped at the chance. Nude is

really my cup of tea, because i’ve never

been a big fan of makeup that is super

colorful or over-the-top. maybe i’m

playing it safe, but i have a feeling that

if i ever try to go crazy with color, i’ll end

up making myself look like mimi from

the drew carey show. remember her?

yeah. Not a good look.

of course, my daughter was watching and decided she wanted to get in on the makeup fun

too. i skipped the foundation and eyeliner for her, and used the more neutral eye shadow

and nude gloss. she felt like a grownup, but didn’t look like one.

1. Lighten Up

Start by switching up your normal full coverage foundation to a lighter more sheer foundation (if you have amazing skin go all-natural and skip this step). If you have a ton of acne like me, it may not seem feasible. Instead, opt for a lighter foundation that still offers good coverage without the need to use a concealer. I chose to use Rimmel London’s Clean Finish Matte Foundation ($3.97), which offers enough coverage to where I was able to omit the concealer. It also minimizes my pores and contains minerals to control my oily shine all day. I also added Rimmel London’s Stay Matte Pressed Powder ($3.97) for a long lasting natural matte finish to ensure my oiliness did not come out throughout the day.

2. Add Warmth to your skin

I like to add a nice warm glow to my skin in the summer by using a matte bronzer and applying it around my face. In the summer, I also like to use a natural bronzer instead of blush but you can always use a natural pink flushed blush on your cheeks instead of a bronzer. For this look, I chose to use Rimmel London’s Natural Bronzer ($3.97) which adds the perfect amount of warmth to my face.

3. Enhance your natural eye color

Since we are trying to achieve a barely there makeup look use neutral light shades on the eyes. For this look, I opted to use Rimmel London’s Smokey Brun Glam Eyes Quad eyeshadow. I applied the lightest crème shade all over my lid, the taupe shade in my crease and the bronze shade in the outer corner. I then lightly lined my water line and lid with Rimmel London’s AMAZING Scandaleyes Kohl liner in taupe. The taupe color is more natural then black and it enhances the color of my blue eyes.

4. Pucker Up

Lose the heavy lipstick and opt for a sheer lipgloss or balm that enhances your natural lip color. I chose to use Rimmel London’s Stay Glossy Lip Gloss in stay my rose. It matches my lip color and just adds a nice shine to it.

naTural makeup fOr summer i was wary of wearing a nude make-up trend on my very pale face and

skeptical that any makeup could cost $3.97. however, when i discovered

that i was able to buy an entire new set of makeup for $30, i was excited

to revamp my style.

and then i applied the make-up, which took about five minutes max, and

walked away looking fresh, happy, and not so weighted down by heavy

liners and lipsticks. i really loved the gloss as it

gave a dewy glimmer to the entire look! Ben kept

looking over at me across the living room and

saying that i looked “very pretty” which is

a supreme compliment.

There’s something nice about feeling like you’re wearing a youthful summer look

16

i love to change-up my look,

especially for a date with my

hubby or a night on the town

with my girlfriends. changing

up your makeup is one way

women love to change their

look. let’s face it; we change

our minds a lot right? it’s

something that women have

done for as long as i know

and will continue forever!

i also have several friends

who don’t like a lot of

makeup, or they don’t like

the feel of something on their

face. that’s okay because

there are so many options

out there right now. you are

bound to find something that

will work with your skin type

and color. i recently had a

fun time doing a couple of

self-makeovers with rimmel

cosmetics. you don’t have

to spend a ton of money at

expensive department stores

to look smoking ladies!

BeauTy On a BudgeT dOesn’T Have TO lOOk cHeapRimmel makeup is a great price, but doesn’t sacrifice quality. Remember, next time you’re at Walmart check out their selection of Rimmel products and create your own summer makeup trends!

18

i began by applying the white shadow

over the entire lid and all the way up

to the brow. then, i used the darker

shade of brown on the eyelid itself,

and accented with the lighter shade in

the crease and corner. i didn’t use the

Waterproof kohl eyeliner when i was

going out on the beach or to the pool

just because i wanted a really light and

natural look, but it looks great when i’m

going out on the town!

Next, it was time to tackle my “beach eyes”!

i wanted to go as “nude” and neutral as

possible, so i chose the three shades of

eye shadow you see labeled below. they

also remind me of the sand and surf...yay!

naTural lOOk fOr summer wiTH rimmel makeupmy first job was to apply the

clean finish foundation. i

love that it has spf 15 sun

protection. in fact, that’s why i

chose it over the clean finish

matte foundations. i refuse to

let the sun touch my face even

on an ordinary day since i’m so

prone to moles, so especially at

the beach i like to use cosmetics

that include spf if i can. Notice

how it’s not heavy looking or

even very noticeable at all, but

it evens out my skin tone as

compared to the non-makeup

photo.

20

Because i’m used to a heavier makeup look,

i was initially tempted to try and layer more

color on to make it darker, but i kept

reminding myself that the point was to look

natural yet polished.

so, i moved on to bronzer! i have been using

rimmel bronzer for years now and am so

pleased with it. i lightly dust it on my forehead,

cheekbones, nose and chin for a tanned-

looking glow.

Sunkissed for Summer

affOrdaBle makeup

getting sun kissed for summer was easy with rimmel london‘s affordable makeup products. each product costs

only $3.97 at Walmart. i created an entire new summer look for less than $30!

23

my attempt at the summer

makeup trend started with

the clean finish matte

foundation. this foundation is

lightweight and controls shine for

up to 12 hours. i’m careful when

i buy foundation because i wear

it daily. i certainly don’t want

something that will leave me

with clogged pores. the rimmel

foundation has oil-control

minerals and won’t clog pores.

i used glam’ eyes Quad eye

shadow to give my eyes just

a hint of summer color. Next

i lined my top eyelids with

the scandaleyes Waterproof

kohl eyeliner. the eyeliner

is ultra creamy and felt great

as it was applied. i skipped

blush and used the Natural

Bronzer instead. it gave me

a light sun kissed glow. my

summer look was completed

with the stay glossy lipgloss in

so fabulous.

all of these rimmel

lasting finish By kate

lipsticks were on sale

so i had to grab a few.

two are nudes and

two are pale pinks.

after testing each

color, i was pleased to

see that they all paired

nicely with my new

hair color.

25

i dyed my hair the other day and that means i had to

overhaul my regular makeup routine. thankfully the

summer makeup trend this year seems to be going nude,

and nude works perfectly with my mega bright hair. i tend

to steer away from my regular makeup when i have this

color of hair. that means that i have to find some more

affordable makeup to replace my regular stuff. and i was

totally in luck because a ton of rimmel products are on

sale for $3.97 at Walmart right now! the packaging for

these products is freaking gorgeous. they totally draw

you in when you’re shopping.
