Get the Look: Miranda Kerr's Bold Lips & Pastel Lids

Summer isn't over yet!  If you're anything like me, you're anxious to dip into your fall wardrobe, and stain your pout with deep, berry shades, but still holding on tightly to the effortless beauty looks of summer.  Last week, Victoria's Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr strut her stuff down the runway for Australian designer, David Jones's Spring/Summer 2012/2013 Fashion Show in Sydney.  Napoleon Perdis was on hand to create two exclusive makeup looks that were all about matte pastel, spearmint eyes and bright, matte orange and red lip hues.   "Featuring pops of bright, matte color on the eyes and lips with a fresh complexion looks are punchy, powerful and totally on-trend," Perdis states.

He chose to round out his work with matte orange and matte red lipsticks for the two looks he created.  "A matte, bold lip anchors a whole look," Perdis explains.  Try Napoleon's lipstick in Devine Goddess Hara with Lip Finish Color Disc Tequila.

For the eyes, he created a pastel blue shade to compliment the matte orange lipstick and a spearmint shade to go with the red.  The key was to keep the shadows looking chalky by adding white into them.

Beat the Heat Makeup Tips

The heat wave in NYC is no joke right now.  I can't even wear anything on my face but mascara, eyeliner and a dab of cream blush if I have to wear makeup at all – but Rachel Bilson's makeup artist, Carol Shaw gave my friends at DailyMakeover the scoop on look cool despite the heat.  Here are her tips: Protect Your Skin

Keep your skin moist, healthy and protected with a foundation or tinted moisturizer that contains SPF. These skin savers will keep your skin protected and hydrated while evening out your skin with a beautiful flawless finish. Try: Lorac Anti-Aging SPF Breakthrough Performance Foundation. Don't forget about your lips, they need to be nourished and protected too! Find a lipstick that's creamy and moist with SPF and comes in great summer shades like coral, rose, pink and bronze.

Picture-Perfect with Powder

During the hot summer months we can get a little too shiny-- powder helps your makeup stay-put,... takes down the shine on your forehead, nose and chin and gives a silky-smooth finish. Powder is great for touch-ups on-the-go; it instantly makes your skin look fresh and flawless!

Long-Lasting Liner

Go from day-to-night with a long-lasting, water-resistant eyeliner. For day, add a thin line of black eye liner along top lashes for a smudge-proof, budge-proof, smooth, clean line that lasts in the summer heat. For hot steamy nights, wing your eyeliner with a flick at the outer corner for a sizzling summer cat eye!

Estee Lauder Introduces New Pure Color Lipgloss
