What To Wear: Independence Day

The Fourth of July is the holiday of the summer (cue the fireworks!). We've created the perfect fresh look that works for any type of celebration, whether it be outside for a family barbecue or heading over to that secret spot to watch the fireworks with someone special!

1. NARS Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30: Because it's hot, it's important to use light liquid makeup so it doesn't feel like your face is melting off. This will also provide protection from the sun and still give you the coverage you need. (https://www.coterie.com/product/nars/pure-radiant-tinted-moisturizer-broad/166620)

2. Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner 'Empress': Add some white eye liner to the inner corners of your eyes to create wider and brightened eyes. Since it's waterproof it's guaranteed to last through the day and night. (https://www.coterie.com/product/stila/smudge-stick-waterproof-eye-liner-/132584)

3. Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow 'Blue Bell': With a small shader brush, apply a bit of a vibrant blue to your lower lash line to add some color and depth to your eyes. (https://www.coterie.com/product/bobbi-brown/eye-shadow-08-oz/1976)

4. Benefit 'Ther'Re Real!' Mascara: Top off the eyes with beautiful lashes. (https://www.coterie.com/product/benefit-cosmetics/theyre-real-mascara/22221)

5. Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint 'Lust': Swipe on that perfect bold red color to finish the look. This product will last all day long and moisturize your lips. You can even dab a bit of the color onto your cheeks and blend away for a light flush! (https://www.coterie.com/product/tarte/lipsurgence/164414)

6. Tocca Eau De Parfum: Spritz a summery scent on your wrists and a bit on your neck. Everyone will be asking what you're using. (https://www.coterie.com/product/tocca/eau-de-parfum-17-oz/138599)

What to Wear: First Date

First dates, though exciting, can be stressful. You want to leave a great impression without trying to hard. You also want your makeup to do the same. Here are a few products and tips to help you look gorgeous without going overboard (don't want to scare your date away!).

1.  Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage: Lightly cover any spots or blemishes that you want but don't build up. You want to your skin to look more natural than cakey.

2. bareMinerals Mineral Veil: Blend this into your skin to create an effortless perfect complexion.

3. Estee Lauder Pure Color Blush: If you're not already naturally blushing from your charming date, add a little hint of a rosy color to your cheeks!

4. Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eyeshadow: This is an optional step, but for those of you that want to amp up the look, swipe some neutral colored eyeshadow to your lids. I recommend  neural because it's not as dramatic and bold as color or smokey eye, and it allows you to wear whatever colored lip, cheek color, and even outfit you want. 

5.Bobbi Brown Lip Balm: Your date may end with that perfect 'happily-ever-after' kiss so make sure your lips are moisturized!

6. YSL Glossy Stain '19': If you want some color, go for this glossy stain. The color will last throughout the night so you won't have to keep reapplying. The gloss will make your lips look irresistible.

Now you're ready to sweep your date off their feet!

That's Class: The Red Lip

The second classic look in this series is the red lip. Bold, sultry, and sexy, the red lip is a look that any skin type or age can wear. There are many different shades of red that can be used for this look but it's important to know what products can help create the perfect red lip.

1. Kiehl's Lip Balm: It's important to start off with hydrated lips to keep the color saturated and to avoid fading throughout the day.

2. Make Up For EVer Aqua Waterproof Lipliner Pencil: This is a crucial step. Use the liner to outline the shape of your lips and fill in to create an opaque foundation with rich color. This will also help prevent color fading.

3. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture 'Rouge Roxane': Now, intensify that color with a soft and creamy lipstick to define the look. You can be versatile in textures depending on what style your going for; matte, velvet, satin. Play with different textures and see which one works for you!

4. Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss: This is an optional step, but for those who want to glam up the look, add some shine!

Now you're looking like one classy gal!
