Summer Beauty Tips to Keep You Looking Good
No Heat Styling
First things first, let’s talk about our hair. Try an alternative to using heat on your hair this summer. Wear your hair braided in cornrows or french braids which feels cool on your scalp. Take those braids for a curly braid out. You can also twist your hair for the same look. Or, you can rock a cute ponytail or even a bun as a protective style.
Pick Sunglasses that flatter
When choosing the perfect pair of sunglasses, you want to be sure to choose sunglasses for your face shape. Here’s a quick and easy guide to follow.
- If your face is Heart-shaped – Aviators will look good on you.
- If your face is Round – Angular and rectangle sunglasses will frame and lengthen your face.
- If your face is Oval – Rectangular lenses add angles to soften the curves of your face.
- If your face is Square – Round sunglasses will offset a strong jawline.
Wear Your Favorite Summer Nail Color
It’s easier than ever to do a DIY manicure right at home. Summer nail colors like red, orange, yellow, blue, and bold pink are always a good choice. But this year pastels and nudes are trending this summer too. Oh, and white nails are always chic.
Don’t forget the sunscreen
Most importantly, make sure you are wearing your sunscreen sis! Yes, black women can burn too. There are so many brands of all-natural sunscreen that are free of chemicals, sheer, and work well on any skin tone. So no excuses!
Whether you are staying close to home this summer or taking your family on a summer road trip, it doesn’t mean that we can’t look good wherever we decide to be. Follow these summer beauty tips and you’ll be looking good all season!
Your hair looks great in the pic with the green shirt!!! I’m probably about to cut my hair some I need something new!
Great trips! When I am out and about around town, I try to dress up to put myself in a better spirit even though when I'm out mostly running errands.
Oops, I meant great tips!
Hair used to be the easy part for me, now it looks a hot mess. I totally miss my barber. I did polish my toes in my favorite summer color and that felt good. I use the Black Girl sunscreen and I love it.
Thanks for the tips!
This natural hair life is a struggle. You look amazing! Great tips!
