Three Tips to Help you Live Radiantly this Summer.

During the summer, some of my brightest head-turning colors come out to play while my heavy foundations go into hibernation. I’m a Leo so by nature summer is the time when I really start to bloom and my personality shows, however, no lioness wants to be walking around her pride with her makeup melting off in the hot summer heat. So how do you continue to #LiveRadiantly and let your true colors show without letting the  intense warm weather and humidity beat you down? 1. Go Light on the Foundation.
