5 Beautiful reasons to wear red this summer

Red is not only the highest arc of the rainbow, it also represents beauty in many languages and cultures. It speaks universally and takes dull to fabulous. Who says you only wear red on special occasions – here is every reason to wear it day or night.. you will want to run out and buy every shade of red after reading this.

1. Red is the ultimate cure for sadness. Get out of bed and slap it on – you got this!

How the color red affects us mentally and physically
  • Increases enthusiasm

2. Red is the color of winners. 

The color red can be intimidating — just ask Tiger Woods, who famously wears red on the final day of golf tournaments (and, until recently, tended to triumph). A 2005 study by British scientists found that athletes wearing red “have an advantage over blue-suited competitors,” according toMSNBC. “We find that wearing red is consistently associated with a higher probability of winning,” the researchers wrote in the journal Nature. The effect is subtle, though, so it may only factor in when evenly matched competitors face off.

3. Listen up Men! You are desirable.

Men in red are “more attractive, more powerful and more sexually desirable to women,” according to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology. They asked women to rate pictures of men framed by or wearing a variety of colors. The women rated men in red “higher in status and more likely to earn a better living.” That perception, which may stem from the fact that red pigmentation indicates male dominance in a number of animal species, leads to the attraction.

 4.  Wear it proud!

If RED is your favorite color you are extroverted, exciting, energetic and a natural born leader. You bring excitement to the world.  On the flip side, Red lovers can also be moody, bossy, restless and opinionated. Either way, wear it proud.

5. “When in doubt wear red.” –Bill Blass

Red is the color for the base or root chakra. This chakra is located at the base of the spine and allows us to be grounded and connect to the universal energies. To sum it up – it will  be a good day in your red pumps!

Makeup Tips for Blue Eyes

Ahhh…to be a blue eyed babe!  It must be hard having the most beautiful eye color a girl could ask for. Personally, I don’t think there is anything more pretty than seeing a woman who has enhanced her eye color by applying the correct makeup.

Blue eyes can appear dull and flat if you apply the wrong eye makeup.  To prevent your eyes from looking washed out, use contrasting tones to compliment the blue. Always use a light tone as your base color. For a two shade combination, complement your light base color with a dark or medium hue.  If you prefer three colors, use a light, medium and dark tone.

Recommended Colors for Blue Eyes:

Purple

Pinks

Neutral Tones & Bronzes
