The weather has no intention of cooling down, and neither should your makeup. Take your usual smoky eye to the next level with iridescent shadows for a smoldering, molten look with the just the right amount of shimmer. Experiment with different shades to add flattering dimension to your eyes: Go for a bronzy, golden look for day, and blend rich jewel tones for a show-stopping nighttime look.
Summer's hottest color is white, and August is the perfect time to go all out with the clean-cut look before Labor Day sneaks up on us. Whether you're hitting brunch, a poolside party, or clocking in at the office, all-white outfits are an easy way to look super chic, polished, and put together. Embrace monochrome and wear white on white from head to toe, or accessorize with bright colored accessories to make the airy look pop.
If you're looking for a new haircut, get a "lob" (long bob). This super versatile hairstyle is cropping up on a ton of "It" models and celebs on the red carpet. The medium length makes it long enough be thrown up into a ponytail if needed, and still short enough to keep your style looking bouncy and fresh. Whether you go for an edgy stick-straight look, asymmetrical cut, or a tousled look with beachy waves, you'll be on-trend this month.
The extreme side under cut trend is in full force, and the deep side part is the perfect on-trend way to get the same dramatic effect without a razor. Use a fine-tooth comb to keep the line precise (the straighter, the better) and continue the part back to the crown of your head. To get the full look, slick back one side of your hair to create the undercut illusion -- and skip the painful growing out process.
This month, gladiator sandals are making a comeback, but in a more refined and wearable form. Instead of over-the-top sandals that encase the entire leg and look like something straight out of "Troy," August's sandal is all about low horizontal lines and a statement ankle strap. Look for sandals with bold, hardware details, which give summery sandals the edge they need to easily transition into fall.
