Wet Hot Summer Make Up Set

So in this wretched hot summer, I am super into wretched, dark eyeliner. Makes me think of hipsters flocking to the streets, society girls abandoning their Lily Pulitzer for ripped tank tops on shorn shorts. Delicious. Dark make up and kind of sweaty hair, glistening tan skin, just reeks of sex. Let's all reek of sex, my little vixens. Agreed?

Dark eyeliner, a shimmery eyeshadow, heavy mascara, tinted lips and cheeks. Sounds perfect, until all that sexy sweat. But don't worry darlings, I have got you covered.

Step 1: Bronzer

Use your favorite. I'm currently using Benefit One Hot Minute, which works no matter what shade of pale/tan I am. We love powder, as it soaks up all that shine.

Step 2: Eyeshadow

I've been using Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Techno Gold (25$). Just use your finger, and cover all the way up to your brow line.

Step 3: Eyeliner.

This dark, sultry eyeliner is the key behind this look. I clearly have been listening to massive quantities of country singers crooning about being drunk on you, and now am determined to inspire such songs. The problem with this dark eyeliner is that when it is paired with these hot summer nights it gives even the sauciest a severe case of "drunk in bath tub" face. In a recent experiment, I was blessed to meet Eyeko skinny liquid eyeliner. This pen is the easiest, most idiot proof liquid eyeliner I have ever encountered. I will be the first to admit I have bought and thrown away at least four liquid eyeliners, due to the fact that their use usually ends with me looking much more similar to a member of KISS than the aforementioned sex vixen. This is a relatively cheap eyeliner, and will stay ON. I have other products we'll discuss in the winter, but when you're out getting all sweaty, this is the place to be.

Step 4: Mascara

I am a tried and true Benefit Bad Gal user. Enough coats of this gives me a fake eyelash look without getting clumpy. It's even better results if I am not so lazy that I actually curl my eyelashes. Regardless, everyone seems to have a mascara they love. If it works for you, tell me about it! I should broaden my horizons. If you get clumpy, sad lashes, give the tried and true Bad Gal a shot.

Step 5: Tint

You guys, I am going to give you one of my top beauty hints. I'm giving it all away at once. This is one of my favorite products, and I will write a whole stinking post about it at some point. Benefit Benetint. It's this glorious stain for lips and cheeks. I use the classic Benetint, which makes my lips "just been making out" red, and pleasantly enough smells like roses. Tint your lips and your cheeks (3 dabs in a triangle, top 2 along your cheek bone), and cover your kisser with lip balm of choice to make it a little shiny but not sticky. Those lips need to be spontaneous make our ready, ladies.

Go forth and be sexy, you wild things.
