Hallo everyone !
SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE ! HAPPY JUNE TO ALL OF YOU !!! ^_^
Hope you had good days last month ! I apologize for not being so active on may but it's exam period and i will be a little busy till the end of June.Though i will do my best for giving you as many updates as i can! :)
After the spring suggestions article, i decided to present some suggestions for the summer as well,starting with the Golden element in this article :)
In my opinion Gold/golden is a very suitable colour for the summer season since the sun is sooo bright and the light reflection gives a really nice look :) Also , too much gold may make you look like '' super glamour '' or ''too much'' , something that i don't like and as a consequence i don't recomment . So , keep it simple :D
First suggestion is Dark Golden top with Natural-look wavy hair and light champaign make up
Clothing
In order to get this look , i chose a dark gold top and a pair of black skinny jeans combined with a pair of brown-gold sandals :) There are some sandal suggestions below !
Hair
I really liked that wavy style , it looks so natural and simple - you look classy without overdoing it ! Since i have extremely straight hair , i made a french braid the day before ( after showering and drying my hair ) , put some hairspray on and kept it for one day . When i let my hair down they looked so natural wavy !
Make-up
I used a light champaign eyeshadow for the inner corner , and a darker pink-brown for the outter corner , blended them and tabbed ONLY a touch of glitter gold eyeshadow on the center of the eyelid .
Then i drew the half outter line of the upper eyelashes using a dark gold eyepencil and with a dark brown one i underlined the half outter line of the lower eyelashes . Last step : a layer of black mascara! Voila !
My blusher choice is either a bronze or peach one , choose the right tone for your skin and apply only a little ! You don't want to look fake ;)
For the lips i chose to keep it simple as i could , since summer is a season that demands a more natural and fresh look . My choice was a nice peach lipgloss :3
Accessories
Since my top was already bold and gold statements i didn't wear any heavy jewellery , i chose only a golden coloured reversed cross ring .
I chose a black simple maxi dress that can be worn both day and night simply by combining it with the right accessories. In the morning i just wear a pair of casual shoes like Converse ( white or bordeaux ) or a pair of casual sneakers (i prefer black) but a colourful pair isn't bad either .
For a formal look , i just replace the shoes with sandals ( you can also see the flat suggestions above ) and i add some gold jewellery . ( More details on the accessories paragraph )
Hair
For an every-day look with this dress i prefer to have my hair down or catch them on a ponytail since it looks really natural and simple . For an evening appearance i usually braid some hairsections and decorate my hair with them in alternative ways . ( You can take some ideas from the photos below ) . The one i chose this time was straight hair down with a braided band :)
Make-up
In order to get my eye make up i applied some non-glitter golden eyeshadow ( since i would go out in the daylight ) and a darker tone one - on the outter corner of the eyelid . Then I applied a dark gold eye pencil on the upper and lower line of eyelashes and finished with some.... tirquoise mascara !!
I know it sounds weird , i had doubts about mixing these colours together but i really liked the result , i think it makes a nice contrast with hazel and green eyes :)
A fair bronze or peach blusher is perfect but don't put so much on , we want to keep it simple and just give the healthy look on face .
Last but not least , we have the lip make up ! Since i had this look in the morning i drew the outline of my lips with a Seventeen lip pencil ( no. 20 ) that is one tone darker than my natural lip colour. I filled the inner corners of my lips and drew a vertical line in the middle of my lower lip . Then i shaded the outline with a direction to the center of the lips and it looked great ! ( You can see the shading difference on the photo where the upper lip is shaded and the lower is not yet )
And this is the final make up result !

Accessories
As i mentioned earlier , the everyday look doesn't require jewellery and extra stuff . In the morning i just had a pair of my favourite old type sunglasses and it was enough :) Though , if you wear a black maxi dress at night you can add some gold or bronze earrings ( long ones look nice ) , or you can wear some small ones and a gold bracelet like the one displayed . I think this looks a lot like Ancient Greek style which i love ! If you like it too you can check how to get it here ;)
Aaaaaand BOOM ! That's it :) Hope you liked my suggestions and you got inspired to try new things to express your beautiful self :)
