Charm Necklace and Bracelet Set
Aside from making sure that the jewelry pieces and accessories do not overpower the entire outfit, probably the biggest challenge petite fashionistas may have when it comes to these types of jewelry pieces is to find something that fits the profile of what is a trendy jewelry piece or accessory without getting lost in it, if you know what I mean. One trick in creating this look is through the use of charms like the necklace and bracelet set from Juicy Couture shown above. The charms not only give a touch of volume to the jewelry pieces, but also serve as a statement all on its own.
Makeup Trends
The choice of makeup to wear can easily make or break your entire outfit, so it is but fitting to get to know what are the hottest makeup trends for summer 2011. Since the jewelry pieces and accessories are quite bold this season, the makeup to use should be more on the natural, "barely there" look with focus on nudes, pinks and those that give off a shimmery and pearly glow. The use of bronzers and highlighters should be kept at a minimum to keep that fresh, all-natural look.
Since this is the season when the temperatures can be rather sweltering because of the sun, it is a good idea to choose foundations and makeup base that are light yet waterproof. This is to make sure that not only will your pores not get clogged. Waterproof makeup will ensure that you will look great and beautiful when going out for a dip with your friends. Also, make sure to apply a good sunblock before applying your makeup. That is because chances are, you will be spending most of the summertime outdoors which causes you to be exposed for longer hours under the sun's harmful rays that can cause premature aging and skin cancer.
