Summer Beauty Trends for the Office
by Catherine Addis of Vow of Makeup
Summer is officially upon us, and you’re ready to trade in that
heavy face of winter for a more refreshed, sun-kissed, but still
work-appropriate look. How should it be done? Here’s a few of our
favorite runway trends from this season’s top designers. There’s
something for everyone, so choose accordingly . 
Try a highlighting concealer along your cheekbones and the bridge of the nose to enhance facial structure and make skin shine. Finish with a dewy, cream blush for a flirty summer flush.
Purple Eyeshadow {from the runway of Versace}
Try out some universally flattering shades for the office, like navy or eggplant. A little pop of color will really enhance your eyes.
Rimmed Grey Eyeliner {from the runway of Sophie Theallet}
Temper your flair for dramatic, heavily rimmed raccoon eyes and choose a soft gray or brown over black for a fresh summer look.
Honey Hued Makeup {from the runway of Meadham Kirchhoff}
To add warmth to fair skin sans self-tanner, go for a creamy, honey-tone blush. Dab shimmering copper shadow on eyelids and rosy bronze gloss on lips for a total summery complexion.
Classic Black Liner {from the runway of Badgley Mischka}
Black liner over a bare eye is timeless. Thicken the line as you work your way toward the outer edge and finish with a mini tick. Keep remaining makeup minimal to ensure a clean, unfettered appearance.
Smokey Brown Eyeshadow {from the runway of Chanel}
Black smoky eyeshadow is likely too bold for the workplace. Choose an earthy brown instead for a winning look.
Bright Pink Lip Gloss {from the runway of Moschino Cheap & Chic}
A glossy pink lip is feminine and eye-catching and never too over-the-top for work.
Red Lipstick {from the runway of Jason Wu}
The classic color is completely workable, so long as you choose a tomato shade over a superdark Goth one and pair with neutral eyes and cheeks. Still shy about flaunting rouge lips at the office? Save them for the evening happy hour with coworkers.
