Summer makeup trend #6: Perfectly groomed brows "This season, the runways gave us everything from bleached out bare eyebrows to extremely thick un-arched ones," says Kae. "But in reality, what most women want is the perfectly groomed Kim Kardashian brow -- not too thick, not too thin. I swear by Anastasia Classic Stencils, $20," says Kae.
Melt-Proof Makeup Tip: Pair strong brows with a soft eye. "If you do a smoky eye, make sure it's really blended. Use lighter colors with bronze colors," says Landis. For example, you can do a bronze lid and contour with deep green. Or light blue, and contour with dark blue. "It's all about blending," says Landis.

I was hoping for some good tips to keep make-up from dripping with the steamy FL heat. Powders help, but I've tried it on my eyelids and it doesn't seem to work to keep color from "traveling" there.

love the urban decay cheek tint, it adds just the right amount of color and never looks 'painted on'

This is a great article.. very helpful since I live in a desert state. Hot and dry so light layers of makeup is the key. But this article was for summer 2011 - why so outdated? Are the colors recommended still working in summer 2012?
