In beauty, just like in fashion, some of fall/winter's colors and styles simply don't work in the summertime, and eye makeup is a case in point. Learn how to create eye-catching looks without losing your relaxed summer cool with these links.

One of this summer's hits is Katy Perry's "California Gurls," but beauty vloggers aren't talking about the music: learn how to create her glittery eye makeup look with this video.

JuicyStar has posted an alternative of this 'under-the-sea look' that is just as creative and more appropriate for every-night wear.
