NYC Summer Survival Guide


NYC Summer Survival Style

The summers in NYC are miserable!!  Over the last 2 years I have found things  that make it bearable without having to look like a melted mess.



#1- Learn some updo's.  If you have long/thick hair like mine accept the fact that your hairdryer is not going to help you at all, so put it away till fall and the fact that you wont be wearing it in long bouncy curls either, it will be up.  Embrace your natural curl or waves and find anti humidity/anti frizz products to keep your up do looking fresh.

#2- Good light Facial Sunscreen- 
Good sunscreen, but light so it wont cause makeup to run off!

#3- Mineral/powder based make up
Honestly do you really think liquid foundation is going to stay on for more than a second in 90% humidity?  NOPE, not a chance!  When you can get away with it, skip foundation all together.  Stick to neutral colors as well.  Nothing looks worse if you can see it running down your face.  These are my Favorites, 
Nars Orgasm, best Blush EVER!

 Bare Minerals Foundation, added Sunscreen and sheer weightless, fresh look.

My favorite eye shadow pallet.  In The Light by Stila

Maybelline Mascara, waterproof

Happy Summer!!
