The hot weather is here and most of us continue to wear the same old makeup in the same boring way. So, to give us some fresh, on-trend (yet wearable) summer makeup suggestions, I’ve asked in-demand makeup artist, Nikki Payne, for her favorite tips and products. Nikki has been in cosmetics for 15 years and has always had a passion for makeup and skincare. We met when I lived in Memphis and she is thee artist to call for your wedding look or a big event when you want to shine.

My Summer Makeup Tips…from Nikki Payne
Part of getting ready for the summer is rethinking your beauty routine. Consider this Sun Survival kit with the essentials no beauty bag should be without.
Long live the bright and bold Corals and Hot Pink hues. Coral is daring, fresh, and unexpected. I love pink for its feminine charm that pretties your pout and makes toes pop. Try Butter London summer Nail polishes in Macbeth, Trout Pout, and Primrose Hill Picnic. Your sure to make a statement with these top selling colors.

On hot humid days you need makeup with staying power. Eyeshadows and eyeliners that don’t crease or melt-away and mascara that doesn’t run at the sight of moisture. Our goal is for a face that stays in place.
These are some of my favorite products! I hope they will help you have the most Beautiful Summer ever! Nikki
