Baseball season is upon us, and if you are planning on catching any games this season, here are some tips on makeup that will help keep you you looking fresh under the warm sun.

BB Cream- Now you know that I am a huge fan of BB Cream, especially for those times that will mostly be spent outdoors and out in the sun.  It has SPF and gives your skin a smooth natural look while still giving you all the coverage you need, and it doesn’t dry out your skin or get cakey. Remember, no matter what type of makeup you choose to put on your face, make sure you put on something with SPF to protect your face from any sun burns waiting to happen.

Eye Shadow – I love a good smokey eye, or any nicely colored lid, but certain occasions call for a more toned down natural look.  That doesn’t mean you have to skip out on eye shadow, just go for a neutral palette, like nude and light brown.

Mascara – I don’t go anywhere without mascara, and even eyeliner at that, so having a great mascara and eyeliner that wont smear or smudge in the heat is key. My new favorite, Cover Girl Clump Crusher Mascara.

Lips – Just the way you put SPF on your skin and face, protecting your lips is no exception.  Try lip moisturizers with color for a pretty and soft pout.

We worry about what we eat and put in our bodies and spend a little extra on organic and all natural foods, but what about what goes ON your body and skin? It’s been said that the skin, the largest organ in our body,  can absorb up to 60% of products used topically. Now think about everything that goes on your skin daily, lotions, makeup, spf,  that list of ingredients can get pretty long! Here are a list of products that are made with natural ingredients that are easier on the skin than synthetic dyes and preservatives and great for those of you with sensitive skin.

Daliia Lip Stain  |  Physicians Formula Organic Wear Makeup  |  Lorac Natural Foundation

Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Scrub  |  Bare Minerals Eye Color  |  Pur Mineral Big Blink Lashes

Burts Bees Lip Gloss  |  Naturals Gate SPF  |  l’Occitane Immortelle Night Cream

This Spring, feel free to take a break from all that colorful nail art and go for a more stripped down look with nude polish. To add a little more texture to this otherwise simple look use try a combination of shades that are about one or two shades darker.  If you just can’t get away from color pastels are a no brainer for spring. My favorite pastel color for spring is lavender as well as mint, which is huge this season. Don’t be afraid to get bold! Just because it is spring doesn’t mean you need to stick to a light palette, colors like coral can really show off that new tan.

This collection came out earlier this month, February 7th to be exact, and even though I hadn’t gotten around to blogging about it, I have to say I really like this collection. I have quite a few purple pigments, which last forever, and eye shadows from MAC so I most likely wont be buying any from this collection even though I really love the colors. The lipsticks and gloss colors are great too, with options from light pale pink and peach to a sultry berry color. A Plus, the containers are so cute. It’s a hard choice, Betty or Veronica?

The facecharts for the Betty and Veronica looks. There are more looks here that are good to give you some ideas on looks to create using this collection.
