Today’s Makeover Monday is a beautiful, summer makeup look with a hint of Neon amidst an otherwise neutral but still smoky eye. Summer looks are some of my favorites because they are usually a bit simpler and a little less dramatic. I would say that this summer makeup look is sort of in between dramatic and simple…does that even make sense? You will see below that there are technically two after pictures for this summer makeup look (although they are really similar). I ended up toning down her first look a bit for her comfort. But I think I ended up liking the second look even more. Scroll down and check it out and let me know what do you think?
Makeover Monday Victim Spotlight: My friend Ashleigh of Leighleighspeaks.com is a mom of 5 and foster mom of many. She is only 28 and has had over 20 kids over the years in her and her husbands home that have needed love. Talk about sacrifice…their family is so inspirational to our family. With that said, I wanted her to be my next Makeover Monday victim for this summer makeup look.
Before
Well, I wish this was going to be some big dramatic makeover; but the truth is, Ashleigh doesn’t need a drop of makeup.
After
Toned Down
Summer Makeup Look: For this summer makeup look, I just wanted it to be simple and something that Asheligh would want to wear out on a date with the husband. Truly, she doesn’t need very much makeup but I still wanted to use some fun colors on her to make those hazel eyes pop. So I focused on giving her fresh and radiant skin with only a hint of a cream blush and smoky eyes with a punch of neon from my beloved electric palette. In my opinion, the electric palette is perfect for a summer makeup look.
Toning it Down: Before Ashleigh left my house, we toned down her mildy neon eyes and punched up the smoke a bit more and brought the blush down. I don’t know which look I like better. I think they are both pretty…but I think the second summer time look is more her style.
