Creating The Perfect Look For Summer

This summer the colour theme is ice cream pastels

, la 1950s race chic and these colours can work for any skin tone as long as you choose carefully. With mint greens, pale corals and powder blues among the most wearable shades, heres how to work these colours into your make up bag and your wardrobe.

The first and most important thing to consider is what you like, theres no point rocking fashion for sake of it if you actually hate the trend and it doesnt match your tastes; doing this will just make you look like an uncomfortable fake and nobody wants to see that.

The second thing to look out for in any trend is the pieces, patterns, styles and colours you do like and the ones you dont, its okay to love florals but hate playsuits for instance, just buy in a little floral tea dress or cropped t-shirt instead. The same goes for this seasons pale pastels, if you hate pink then steer clear of baby pinks or if you know yellows dont suit you, give lemon yellow a wide berth.

Thirdly, if you love a fashion trend but youre just not sure how to make it work on you, buy some fashion magazines for tips on key pieces and how to mix and match and read on for the basics.

For those with pale skin tones, careful choices need to be made on pastels; if youre blonde and fair skinned the right colours are baby pinks and corals, powder blues and mint greens and the wrong ones are lemon yellows and desert oranges. If youre brunette and pale skinned the rules are the same but you can get away with oranges as long as you really layer them on and make a bold statement. Those with olive or dark skin can get away with any pastel colours, this fashion trend was made for you!

Blondes keep your hair super blonde and super shiny; the short blunt bob works really well with cool pastel nails and eye makeup and coral blushers and lip gloss for a super sweet summer look thats good enough to eat. Brunettes work that volume and thickness with long tousled locks for full on 1950s glamour or short and swept over to one side with a finger curled sweeping fringe. Team bright red lipstick with pastel eye shadows, nail varnish and accessories for a mixture of 1950s glamour and ice cream chic.

Getting the shades right is a case of trial and error but keeping your hair looking super healthy and full of life is an absolute must and its easy with professional hair care products and the best hair straighteners you can afford. Hair straighteners are great for creating slick looks and 1950s dramatic waves that you can set solid with a light reflecting hairspray.
