Whoever said neutral was boring clearly didn't have my keen eye for shadow shopping! While neutral has the connotation of being barely noticeable, this summer's versions of the color family is anything but -- shimmery bronze, lush forest greens, rich chocolate browns, etc. The great thing about neutrals for summer -- especially highly-pigmented, shimmery ones -- is that they look gorgeous without looking heavy, too powdery, or overdone. It's natural in all the pretty senses of the word, but not dull or invisible! If you don't believe me, take a look at the slideshow for my 10 favorite takes on neutral eyeshadow for summer!

Let's face it -- pool parties and heavily-applied mascara don't mix. Sure, you could show up to the pool completely barefaced, but we makeup mavens know that'll happen when hell freezes over... or MAC goes out of business. But instead of avoiding cannonball splashes like the plague, praying that no one will tip your float and send you overboard, or inevitably looking like your face is totally melting off, why not just make sure you're prepared? Waterproof beauty doesn't work miracles (in other words, don't expect to go snorkeling and still look like you just applied), but it does do wonders when it comes to keeping your makeup fresh despite heavy moisture and splashing that would normally make it run down your face! Come see my slideshow of waterproof beauty picks that'll keep you covered through the wettest of summer days!
