Why is it that when it is summer we want the winter to come and vice versa… I am almost tired of so much bronzing powder and cream blush let me give you five keys for the makeup you will be wearing this season.

All summer I gave you advice to look lovely during the season, but today I haven't been able to avoid falling into the temptation to tell you reveal you a little bit of what is to come… :-)

First key: Porcelain skin

Another year of clean skin, not overloaded skin. Be careful with the sun during the summer, it is best to use total protection on your face and use a bronzing powder to give a touch of color now. During the fall, skin is worn very clean, with very light foundations and even though very well concealed you won't be able to notice that you are wearing any makeup. What I am betting on for this fall is Nude from Dior foundation.

Second Key: Colorful eyes

Makeup is in style, black, gray silver and even blues and violets will be used all fall. Start practicing the smoky eye :-)

During the day completely the opposite, a very light eye shadow that defines the bone and lifts the gaze will be all that you need.

For eye shadow, my favorites are MAC and Bobbi Brown.

Third key: Illuminated skin

I don't know if you have noticed but it is ever more common to find this look in magazines, as if the skin is illuminated from within.

The trick is to use a very good primer that helps you obtain that “interior” light. I really like the primer Shiseido to achieve that rainbow skin effect.

And for blush a matt e pink stick, matt e…

Fourth key: Sensual lips

The new red is fuchsia and to tell you the truth I love this alternative for those of us that do not dare to wear red every day. Choose a lipstick in dark strawberry to give an autumn touch to your look.

Fifth Key: Casual Look

And to finish, achieve a formal but casual look, I mean perfect without any efforts, even if it means that you have to prepare your skin very well and not abuse makeup.

Set aside time for yourself Notice that this bulletin doesn't really talk a lot about makeup, but to me one of the most important beauty secrets is to dedicate a little bit of time to yourself. If possible, every day, but if not, at least once a week. Set aside time for yourself in order to: •  Moisturize and take care of your skin. •  Get a face mask. •  Get a pedicure. •  Get a facial cleansing. •  Put your beauty products in order. •  Practice a new makeup technique. Choose your look wisely Yes, it is true that the smoky eye is very favoring, and that it takes a lot of pearly eye shadows, but if they don't really go with you or you don't feel comfortable with that look , it is very likely that you don't look good in it because, let's get real, to be pretty, you have to feel pretty! My secret: when I try a new makeup technique, I do it at night, before I take my makeup off. I try the color, the technique or the style, and if I like it and see that it looks good on me, I use it on a day that I have a dinner or a special event. If it does not look good on me, I discard it!

Touch-up

Even though a lot of makeups last the whole day, it is true that when we go out at night, makeup tends to move from where it belongs. So it is important to carry some products for touch-ups and being impeccable and beautiful all night.

I always carry these with me:

•  Concealer
•  Black eye pencil
•  Lip gloss
•  Some Q-tips (perfect to retouch mascara, pencil and even eye shadows).
•  Blush and matt e powder as long as there's room in my purse :-) .

Combine clothes and makeup

Next month we will talk about night clothes looks, especially in the heat of summer. And makeup follows the same rules; you have to adapt to the occasion and the season. Now that summer is coming:

•  Lighten your makeup foundation.
•  Use bronzing powder.
•  Apply a touch of pink blush over the bronzing powder.
•  Do not abuse dark eye shadows.
•  Illuminate your skin with a golden illuminator.
•  Move on to light and moisturizing gloss.

Have a good time

Even if you put your makeup on very well, but are not in the mood for a party, it is very likely that you will not look nice. When I get home tired from working, but I am going out, I try to cheer up putting on some music, taking a shower and really disconnecting form the week and set my mind to have a good time!

Night makeup in 10 minutes

Sometimes no matt er how much we want to we don't have more than five minutes to get ready and be radiant, that is why today I will reveal my trick to put makeup on in five minutes!

It is easy, once you have your skin totally moisturized follow these steps:

•  Apply the makeup foundation with a brush, from the center of your face working yourself outwards.
•  Conceal dark circles.
•  Apply an intense golden eye shadow on the entire eyelid.
•  Put makeup on inside the eye and lightly outside, between the eyebrows and also on the lower eyelid as well as on the upper eyelid, with a creamy black pencil.
•  Double layer of mascara for the eyelashes.
•  A touch of blush on the cheeks.
•  A stroke of illuminator over the cheekbone.
•  Bring the lip gloss to put while in the elevator. :-)
