Keeping KOOL: 5 Tips to Stay Cool and Cute in the Summer

Staying cool in the summer is hard enough. Trying to stay cute as well is practically impossible. Nothing is cute about melting foundation and back sweat. Luckily, we have five flawless tips to help you achieve the unachievable:

1.    Less is More

      Try to wear little to no foundation. Instead, focus on certain features such as your eyes or lips. Play with your eyeliner or test out a new lipstick. If you must wear foundation, try wearing just concealer and a light powder foundation to minimize oil buildup. If concealer and powder still isn’t satisfying enough, make sure to use primer and setting spray. Also, use oil absorbing wipes throughout the day to keep your makeup looking fresh.

2.    Loose and Light

It’s no secret that darker colors attract the sun’s rays more than lighter colors, but close fitted garments also add to body heat and discomfort. Wear loose, flowing dresses or pants made of lighter fabrics. Play with summer pastels or the always dependable, all white or neutrals.

3.    Straps Be Gone

      Ankle and calve lines do not work well with any ensemble. Limit your usage of those painful stripy sandals. Instead, wear shoes that provide full coverage to keep your toes cool and happy.

4.    Out of Sight, Out of Mind

Keep your hair out of your face and off of back. Accessories such as headbands and clips are both practical and stylish. Various styles of braids are also a fun and cute way to keep your hair up. Get creative and add some color as well.

5.    Stay Hydrated

How can you follow any of the steps above if your body isn’t taken care of first? Drink lots of water throughout the day. In order to look and perform at your best, you must feel at your best.

Keep KOOL!

Stay Stylish,
