Be bold and accentuate your summer tan. Here’s how to experiment with vivid hues
If there’s an optimum time on the calendar to experiment with colour, it’s high summer.
Sporting naturally sun-kissed skin, you can be more experimental with brights and venture outside your cosmetics comfort zone.
For maximum impact, play on one feature with an intense bright and avoid the rainbow effect. Time to pick your colour of summer 2014 and get creative.
ACCENT EYES
If you’re going super-bright, you don’t have to pile on the product to make a statement.
Think of your bright eye as accessorising, like with a striking handbag or piece of jewellery that will ultimately be a key focus of your final look.
ELECTRIC LIPS
When it comes to bright lipstick, you either fall into the cool or warm category. If you have pinkish undertones to your skin, try fuschia pinks or pinky corals. If you have yellow undertones, experiment with orangey reds for a flattering pout.
If you’re looking to try out a new bright, test the colour on your actual lips, rather than the back of your hand, to achieve a true-to-life tone.
NOTICE-ME NAILS
The non-committal way to work the boldest of colours? Via your fingertips. Because your hands are below your waist, there are no restrictions on the shade you choose or how bright you go.
To make a fashion statement, match bright nails to statement rings or a clutch bag to work some coordinated colour.
