The "No-Makeup Makeup" Summer Beauty Trend

No wonder a lightened-up makeup look has ruled the runways season after season — it has that effortless vibe everyone wants in the Summer. Avon Celebrity Makeup Artist, Kelsy Deenihan says: “To achieve the no-makeup makeup look, stick to a fresh face and neutral shades,” Kelsey goes on to say “The point of a no-makeup makeup is to enhance your natural features without adding color to make any part of the face pop.” Here’s how:

SKIN: Mix equal parts mark. Got the Goods Multi-Benefit Foundation and mark. That’s Brilliant Face & Eye Luminizer for sheer coverage with a radiant finish.

CHEEKS: For a flushed look with extra radiance, you can also blend mark. Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes in Pearly Glow over the apples of the cheeks.

SHADOW: Apply a thin veil of mark. All Time Eye Hook-up Longwear Eyeshadow in Tender Love on the lids. The neutral champagne color will catch the light and open the eyes without looking too heavy or dramatic.

LINER: If you can’t go without eyeliner, stick to a medium-brown such as the mark. No Place to Run Longwear Eye Liner in Foxy Brown. The cognac color will define the eyes without being too dark.

MASCARA: Opt for a brown mascara like the mark. Lash Act Build & Define Mascara in Brown Black. This will help keep the eyes soft instead of an edgy dark look.

LIPS: For a hint of color and lasting hydration, go for the mark. All Butt Now Lip Treat in Bare All. These mark. lip butters delivery a rich, buttery shine without a harsh chemical taste. I personally love the sweet fruity mango flavor!

How to Get a Trendy Bronzed Matte Look with Avon Makeup (+Video Tutorial)

Hey, beauts! The weekend is near so I figured it was a perfect time to cover one of the latest beauty trends: bronzed matte makeup! With Avon makeup products, it is easy and fun to achieve this trendy look. Check out Avon Celebrity Makeup Artist, Lauren Anderson's makeup tutorial video below --- then, read on for info on the products used, as well as the opportunity to order them online!

Just like Lauren Anderson did in her video, let's start with the True Color Matte Eyeshadow Quad in shade Desert Sunset. This shade palette is warm in color and right on trend with the matte finish! Regularly priced at $8. You can check out my Avon eStore to see if this product is currently on sale or under a special promotional offer.

It is regularly priced at $9, but as with any Avon product - check online for current deals. Avon Glow is a makeup collection of sun-inspired beauty! This silky, luminous bronzer blends easily for a streak-free, radiant look. Here's another beauty tip: The secret to believable bronze is to dust powder where the sun naturally hits...cheekbones, nose and forehead.

After getting your eyes all glowed up, it is time to define the lash line with Glimmersticks Eye Liner in shade Cosmic Brown (Reg. price is $7). Glimmersticks Eye Liner gives you beautiful stay put colors, you can wear all day! The dazzling colors define and enhance your eyes! The retractable eyeliner creates a perfect point that allows for easy precision application. Stay put eyeliner wont move or face and is perfect for long wear! 

Once that is done, accentuate your lashes with Avon's new Big & Multiplied Volume Mascara (Reg. price is $9). This mascara is available in 3 shades: Black, Brown/Black, and Blackest Black. Our first triple-threat mascara: detangling + serious seperation + head-turning volume! For the ultimate look in lash fullness. Featuring a killer combo of brushing and combing zones that instantly seperate and volumize lashes. Designed with Smart Slip Technology, our mascara sticks to lashes, not to itself. Good-bye unruly lashes! 

Last but certainly not least, use the Perfectly Matte Lipstick in shade Marvelous Mocha. I am a huge fan or matte lips and Avon's Perfectly Matte line is truly top-of-the-line! An extremely smooth, completely matte lipstick that never cakes, cracks, or compromises. Seals in moisture for a lightweight velvety feel. Our new matte lipstick comes in 12 bold, beautiful colors for any long-lasting, chic look. Regular price is $9.

Online Customer Feedback/Comments on the Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls:

PROS

• Easy To Apply
• Good Pigmentation
• Good Value
• Long Lasting
• Versatile

BEST USES

• Normal skin
• Daily use
• Oily skin
• Dry skin
• Special occasions

“The bronzing pearls are amazing, they are easy to apply just use a regular powder brush and apply. The pearls make me feel radiant and beautiful and I will definitely be purchasing it in the near future!”

“These pearls don’t look like much when you open them. But once you apply them they really do what they promise. They give you a nice soft glow, good for all year round.”

“This bronzer is PERFECT for fair skin. its not really a bronzer so much as it is a “glow-er” for me — gives me just a hint of color. love it!”

“I am a first time user of bronzer although I love the look of it. I don’t wear makeup often but when I do I enjoy neutral and natural colors. The bronzing pearls really highlighted my facial features. I bought it in bronzed and my skin tone is in the middle of fair and medium. I read the reviews before I purchased it and crushed the pearls into a powder before I applied them and I highly recommend this is the way to go. I love the look and the price!”

“Since my skin is medium-toned, I wasn’t sure these bronzing pearls would even show up on my skin. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the bronzer in Bronzed imparts the gentlest, most natural flush to my cheeks. It’s become my go-to “blush” when I choose to wear a “no-makeup” makeup look. I only wish there were some way to ensure I don’t lose any of these precious pearls since they can become lodged in the bristles of my flat kabuki brush. Other than that, this is a near-perfect product.”

“I never order makeup online, since you can’t tell what the colors are exactly, but decided to take a chance on this. It’s amazing! I just stocked up on a few of them, since I caught it on sale today. This is all I will use from now on. I’m very fair and it gives just enough color to make me not look like I’ve been in hibernation all year. And it isn’t orange! Get it! You won’t regret it!”

“What can I say — this product helps me look younger! The color and shimmer really brightens my face. I even use a tiny bit on my eyelids. LOVE it!”

“I use this everyday as my eye shadow and blush. It looks well blended as soon as it is applied. It takes no time to apply and isn’t too “bronze” which can look fake on fair skin. It does make my skin glow without being overdone. I have been using this for over 2 years and haven’t used anything else since. I love this and get compliments on my make up all the time.”

“I love the shimmer cream cubes. I use them with a broad short-bristled thick brush and swirl the brush over the entire set, resulting in a lovely blend that goes on easily. With a small brush, I can use one of the cubes by itself when I want a little shine on lips or eye lids. Love that it’s not a powder and not a cream in a tube. Great product – have seen nothing like it anywhere else.”

“I bought this product after seeing that it won a Beauty Award from Cosmetic Executive Women, and I’m SO glad I did! I used this to highlight my face and as my eyeshadow, and the shimmer and finish were absolutely beautiful; my skin was glowing! Everyone kept asking what I was wearing. I can’t wait to share this product with friends!”

“I love this palette. It’s my go to for getting ready on those rushed mornings. I use the colors individually and combined for that very subtle and pretty glow. I’ve had mine for about 6 months and barely made a dent. I use it at least 4x a week. It’s a cream so if you use on your eyelids, primer is a must to prevent creasing.”

Make Your mark. Monday: New Post Series

Got a bad case of the Mondays? Personally, I know I do. Not wanting to stay in that funk,  I thought about some way to change my mood. I came up with the idea to start a weekly themed post on mark. products! Here’s what I am thinking about doing with this new post series on the blog: Each Monday i’ll create a fresh post covering a few mark. products that are available on my Avon eStore. (That’s right, Avon and mark. products go hand in hand!) I’ll share product pictures, prices, and info. You’ll also see some customer comments that were left online as well as comments from myself on the featured product(s). My hope is that this series will be a hit and you’ll all see how trendy and versatile mark. products can be in your beauty routine!

Let’s start off with the mark. Sweet on Lemon Sugar Body Mist. This product is fun, unique, cheerful, and refreshing. You may be skeptical (I initially was) but this scent is one of the best chances I’ve taken on something. I was pretty sure that I would not like to spray a lemon scented spray on me. I worried I would smell like a cleaning solution or something. Instead what I got was a sweetened citrus splendor! The warmth and youth of this scent is a great choice with Spring just around the corner. The mark. Sweet on Lemon Sugar Body Mist is priced at $14, online at youravon.com/ssandis Also available to this collection are Hand Cream, Body Scrub, 3-in-1 Body Wash, and Body Butter. To get the best effect out of any fragrance, layering with the various scented products is recommended for staying power.

Have you tried mark. Juice Gems? If you’ve tried it in the past you may not know that the product now comes in a larger, sleeker tube. The mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss contains real fruit extract. It will leave your lips feeling moisturized and conditioned. There are 8 shades available, pictured above is shade Juicy Fig. I’m usually not a lip gloss kind of girl, but I like this because it is easy to apply — you don’t have to squeeze hard to get out enough product. I also like it because it smells and tastes amazing. The regular price is $11 each tube. PROS: Convenient Container, Even Application, Glossy Finish, Great Color Selection, Long Lasting, Moisturizing, Pleasant Tasting, True To Color. Online Customer Comments about mark. Juice Gems High Shine Lip Gloss: “I have never found a better lip gloss. And believe me, I have tried. I am so bummed that the Avon stores in my city won’t carry it. The colors are amazing and it lasts longer than any lip gloss I have ever tried. I just bought 2 tubes of Juicy Fig and they are probably my 20th and 21st tubes. I absolutely love it.”

I had never tried a lip butter before but when I saw that mark. All Butter Now Lip Treat I was intrigued. This product is infused with Shea, cocoa, and mango seed butters and once again is pleasantly tasting and smelling. There are now 8 shades to choose from, pictured above are Bare All and Mauvelous. For a limited time only at youravon.com/ssandis pick any 2 of these for $16 — Regularly $11 each! Sheer-to-medium coverage: mauvelous, terra hotta, bare all, baby me. Medium-to-full coverage: razzmatazz, fired up, pop tart, coraltini. • Increases lip moisture by 124% • Infused with shea, cocoa and mango seed butters plus vitamin E • Treats dry, rough lips • Delivers color with buttery shine. PROS: Soothing, Healing, Long lasting, Smells/Taste Great, Effective.

Last for today is the mark. Glowdacious Illuminating Powder. I had wanted to get something to give me that glow around my cheeks and this product does just that. I also notice that when I use it, it defines my cheekbones and gives a professional makeup application look. I love it.When I first got the compact, it took a few times of using to really get in there to get the color on the brush — which is included, by the way! There are 3 different shades available, depending on your skin tone. I have fair/light skin, so my ideal shade is Prettied Up. This product is regularly priced at $13. Visit youravon.com/ssandis to place an order! More reasons that I love this product? It is oil free and fragrance free, so it isn’t harsh on my sensitive skin. It is easy to apply and blends well. There’s a silky, shimmery finish and it’s just gorgeous. It lasts all day long and removes easily with the Avon Makeup Remover Wipes.
