Sunshine,
maxis and the return of your fave outdoor workout make this the
happiest time of the year. You're too busy living life to fuss with
makeup. So we've served up these breezy looks with a sophisticated matte
finish that will have you out the door in minutes, looking your
prettiest yet.
Love Lavender Lipstick
The
trick to pulling off a matte lip color is making your pout baby smooth.
Slough flakes with a lip scrub (sugar and olive oil works), then slick
on a balm. Wait a minute for it to absorb, and apply a pink-purple matte
lip crayon.
The Best Matte Lavender Lipstick
We're obsessed with Topshop Beauty Matte Lip Bullet
in Plastique. Dab it on gradually to build color to the intensity
you want. Erase any mistakes with a cotton swab, blot lips, and be on
your way.
Brush on Blue Eyeshadow
This
isn't your mom's powder blue eye shadow. Swipe on a shadow primer first
to prevent creasing, then brush on the shadow. Concentrate the color
along your lash line and fade it up to your brows, creating an ombré
effect that's sultry yet sweet. For an understated look, stop the shadow
at your crease. Keep the rest of your face simple, and let your eyes do
the talking.

The Best Matte Blue Eyeshadow
Choose a matte blue with a hint of purple for a modern update. A gorgeous one: Yves Saint Laurent Couture Mono Eyeshadow in Zellige.
Try Coral Blush
The
easiest way to fake a healthy flush: Sweep a matte coral powder along
your cheekbones. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, then brush up
to your temples (envision making a backward C). Swipe a matte bronzer in
the hollows of your cheeks, below your blush, for a sculpted look.

The Best Matte Coral Blush
Try Milani Rose Powder Blush in Coral Cove (CVS stores), which dazzles on fair and dark skin tones alike.
Master the Minty Mani
Mint
polish is a pretty way to refresh your mani. File your tips into a soft
oval (this will elongate them and make your hands look slimmer), then
apply a base coat and two coats of pastel green.
The Best Mint Nail Polish
We love China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Highlight of My Summer. Layer on a mattifying topcoat for a sophisticated twist. Try Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat.
