TREND ALERT

A trend I am seeing a lot for summer is the use of COMPLEMENTARY COLORS!

What are complementary colors? 

Well, they are the colors that are opposites of each other on the color wheel.

Just think sport teams:

Denver Broncos are BLUE and ORANGE

LA Lakers are PURPLE and YELLOW

Christmas is GREEN and RED

I took an art class once and we did a cool activity where we took a red paint swatch and held it up to a white wall.  After we stared at it for 45 seconds and took the paper away, we saw a green square on the wall. Weird right?  But so cool!

Why are they called complementary colors? 

They compliment each other!  DUH!
Here are two swatches of the SAME red color. One next to green and one next to orange.

Which red looks more intense? 

The Red next to the green is so much more intense!

Here is Chloe Kardashian in an awesome Printed Clover Canyon dress. Notice how the bag and shoe look super intense?  That is because the main color on the dress is blue so it is helping the accessories stand out.

This is a perfect color to wear on a RED carpet if you want to stand out!

Need I say more?

Hope you all catch on to this amazing trend!

That is all,

This are my "must haves" for any make up kit.  I chose mostly Drug store products but you can always purchase a higher end version.

1. Foundation

L'oreal true match foundation is amazing! I love this foundation because it's longevity and selection of colors!

The Revlon Photoready concealer stick is great for those dark under-eye-circles!

This Maybelline is my HOLY GRAIL to keep foundation matte and on all day.

The Wet n Wild 8 pan palettes are super amazing! Super pigmented and Dirt cheap!

5. Eyeliner

These Milani Liquif'eye eyeliners are Soft and lasts all day long!

6. Mascara

These Maybelline Lash Stiletto mascara holds your lashes in its curl all day long!

7. Lash Curler

Any lash curler would work!

8. Blush

I KID YOU NOT!

 This is my favorite item of all time! This is the perfect bronzer for contouring or all over glow!

10. Lips

These Revlon lip butters are the perfect happy medium between lipstick and lip gloss!

11. Brushes
