Summer has arrived and so have the latest trends in makeup. Basically, it’s going to be hot out and the objective is to not cake makeup onto your face and smother your pores. But, in the midst of summer heat and outdoor activities, the last thing you want is your makeup running down your face. What are the summer looks that will keep you looking and feeling cool? Makeup artist and aspiring designer Jennie Rhee gave me the scoop.

Pastels

Pastels are necessary for the summer. A big trend right now is just one wash of color on the eyelids. It’s easy, there’s no five-step eye shadow process, no smokey eye nonsense, and you can accentuate it with defined eyeliner in the same color. NYX Electro Liners are a new line of retractable eyeliners that come in vibrant shades and are sure to bring that pop of color to your look.

Highlighters

Highlighters are a very up and coming product for the summer. Everyone wants that summer glow to “look like a glazed donut” according to Jennie. The MILK makeup highlighter “Lit” is not only easy to blend but it also lasts longer than powdered highlighters.


Cream blushes

The cream blush concept is pretty much the same argument for a cream highlighter above. If you're going to be sweating all day anyway, you might as well go for a product that will stay on your face.

Juicy lip gloss or lip balm

Go for a more glossy lip look, opposed to a matte one, and definitely aim for a long lasting product. Even a tinted balm with SPF would be acceptable and protect you from UV rays - your lips can get sunburned too! bareMinerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in "Hypnotist" gives your lips an iridescent shimmer and contains no synthetic fragrances or dyes.

Glossier's _Generation G lipstick is a sheer balm that is buildable, meaning you can apply one or two swipes for a lighter shade and more coats for a darker, more matte finish.

Multi-functional products

When you’re on the go - at your internship, at the beach, on the road - it helps to have a few products that fill different needs. Jennie recommends the Chosungah 22 “So Tiny” Lip & Cheek Face Color. Reviews of the product declare it matte, non-greasy, long lasting, and easy to use.

A similar product, the Becca Beach Tint, is water-resistant and enriched with vitamin E. Users rate it highly, saying you don’t need to use much to create a natural looking and durable tint. Using a non-powder blush will help you avoid the melting associated with heat and sweat.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
