Let's face it, as much as we take care of our skin, chances are we are going to need something to even out our skin tone.  One of my summer favorites has been the NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer in St Moritz. It looks like bare skin and also protects my face with an SPF of 30. Its lightweight texture is perfect for a hot summer day.  Nothing looks more youthful than a beautiful blush, smile and add the nudish pink GUCCI Sheer Blushing Powder in Nude Freesia (40). Since this is a deep rich pigmented color, a little goes a long way so make sure to tap your blush before applying. It blends beautifully creating a really sheer look.

Using the GUCCI Magnetic Color Shadow Duo in Aristocratic (10), blend the matte dark brown shade into your crease. After blending really well to make it look barely visible, use your ring finger to dab the bronzy tone on the upper and lower lash line. It will give a light pop, but is also very subtle. Coat the lashes with GUCCI Infinite Length Mascara in Cocoa (20).

For a look like this a lip color closest to your natural color is key, therefore GUCCI Luxurious Moisture-Rich Lipstick in Carnation (305) is perfect. It keeps your lips feeling hydrated but at the same time accentuates your lip color. Top this off with a gloss for some added shine using GUCCI Vibrant Demi-Glaze Lip Laquer in Spring Rose (040). Now that you are ready to face the day looking your best, which nail color fits your mood or outfit best?

I absolutely love GUCCI Bold High-Gloss Nail Lacquer in Pink Lotus (020) with this look, since it is natural and youthful, an almost bare nail color. I like to use the weather as a guide for my nail colors. I'll start off with a natural color maybe switching to a fun bright red like, GUCCI Bold High-Gloss Nail Lacquer in Iconic Red (120). For Fall switch to a darker rosy color like GUCCI Bold High-Gloss Nail Lacquer in Sinful Blush (080). The cooler weather makes me opt for a darker red as well like the bold and intense GUCCI Bold High-Gloss Nail Lacquer in Wild Amarena (150). At the first sign of rain I love a deep dark black, to go with the mysterious weather. GUCCI Bold High-Gloss Nail Lacquer in Iconic Black (240) is the perfect choice.

Makeup genius Pat McGrath was backstage at the Gucci Spring-Summer 2016 show creating the most beautiful natural look. As Gucci Cosmetics’ Artistic Director, McGrath shares with us her vision on the runway look using Gucci cosmetics, “The delicate shades of Aristocratic eye shadow duo create a modern, youthful, fresh makeup that lightly accentuates the models natural bone structure.” At first glance, it looks like the model just woke up looking like this, but with a few steps, using products from the actual show, we recreate this look so you "wake up like this" too!
