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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
