Eyes: Brush the eyebrows in the natural direction they grow. Mix a little primer and an appropriate eyeshadow shade to fill in any missing spots in the brow area using a small brush. Brush eyebrows again in a natural direction to get rid of excess color.

Lips: Apply clear lipstick to your lips. Then, using a lip brush, dip into the color of your choice and apply to lips. Do the above with any of your colored lipsticks as well to match your mood!

Nails: Using a clear nail polish, dip brush into polish and then into the color of your choice and apply directly to your nails. Before drying, sprinkle some glitter on top for a glamorous look!

Hot Tips for Fall Haircare

Special Trends:

"I see darker, richer shades and softer fringes-by that I mean sexy, Megan Fox kind of hair!" -Denise Sakai, JDK Salon, Aiea, Hawaii

"This season I see color that is richer, deeper, shinier and healthier." -Paula Abrantes

"As shoulder pads were featured on European runways for Autumn 2009, I do think the strong trend of 1940s/1980s influence will inspire fuller hair, curls and a return to reds." -Vivienne Mackinder, HairDesignerTV.com

HAIR TIPS:
If you normally use hot hair tools (blow dryers, hot irons, electric curlers) every day, try and give your hair a break during the summer months. Consider letting your air dry. Take a break from hot curling.

For extra conditioning treatment apply a deep conditioner to damp or dry tresses, wrap in plastic wrap or a shower cap just before bedtime. Allow the deep conditioner to soak into damaged hair sections overnight for extra repair and re-moisturizing benefits.

Use SPF Shampoos to protect your hair from the sun. Direct sunlight will damage your hair. In addition, use sunscreen products made for hair.

HAIR TRENDS AND TECHNIQUES:
Waves are always in, no matter what the season, so that’s why you can never go wrong with this style. Twist your strands around your fingers for a piecey, almost tangled look. You can also curl your hair midway and tousle with your fingers or have a sexy swept pony by pulling the pony to the side and working a texturizing cream through it.

If you have big curls and full hair, don’t fight it! Let your wild curls come to life this summer; after all, it’s all about bringing out that natural beauty! Curl random strands here and there with a curling iron, leaving some looser than others. You can also do a half-up bump while styling the pony with a spray gel. Already have a full head of curls? Fluff them up with a serum to get the most out of them!

Tie it back. When you participate in athletic endeavors this summer, choose a classic style. A simple ponytail, a braid or pigtails can give your hair the best functional look and feel. Keeping your hair off your back and out of your eyes makes you more comfortable and gives you better concentration.

Consider a shorter cut. This time of year, wilder looks and textures are in. Get a little crazy and try a sassy new look. Shorter styles require less maintenance than longer hair. With the right beauty regimen and a few good styling products, pixie cuts, bobs and other shorter styles can be just as fun as any other hairdo.

Don't apply shampoo directly to the top of your head. Apply shampoo from the nape of the neck first, and then work it through the rest of your hair.

Distribute cleansing and styling products evenly through your hair. When you apply conditioner, use a comb to spread the product evenly through your hair. Try using our Denman be-Bop Massage brush.

If all else fails, wear it straight. If you don't feel like fighting with your hair today, wear it down. For hair that behaves rather well, consider letting your hair dry naturally. If your hair requires more maintenance, apply a gentle styling product to prevent frizzy hair. Remember, a sexy, straight hairstyle can be perfect with any outfit, for any occasion.
