Here’s how to do it:

Wear your hair up in a low ponytail, hair parted in the middle and a slight tease on the top:

Wear deep red lipstick:

Do a smokey eye WITH cat-eye:

It lends a bit of drama but still makes you look doe-eyed.

Ditch the pink/peach blush on the apples of your cheeks and opt for bronzer on your cheekbones:

Pair your sundress with a waistcoat made of sweater fabric:

Don a pair of killer slouch booties:

And there you have it!

If this look is a bit too edgy for you, but you still want to wear a sundress looking more sexy and womanly and less innocent and girly, winged eyeliner with bright red lipstick and a floorlength mod sundress will do it for you:

I did a photo shoot a couple of years ago. You can check out my awesome model’s portfolio here. When you wear a sundress, you can look really girlish, innocent, and modest.

How do you achieve this look? You wear your hair down, air dried, flowing. You wear minimal makeup, and you wear conservative shoes.

Here are some innocent sundress looks.

Red Sundress

Here’s a cute, long red floral sundress:

Cream Sundress

Here’s a shorter, spaghetti strapped cream sundress:

Maroon Sundress

Here’s another spaghetti strapped sundress, but below the knee and maroon:

Orange Sundress

And a bright orange sleeveless sundress:

5 Fashion Tips

1. The smaller the floral print, the more forgiving the dress will be. Most people can’t pull off big bright flowers. So to be safe, stick with tiny, small florals.
2. If you’re going to go for bigger prints, opt for flowers that are spaced out a bit akin to the last orange dress, or in muted colors like the maroon dress.
3. Don’t be afraid of bright colors.
4. Nude wedges will go with almost any sundress. Check out the first picture.
5. All you need is some concealer, pinkish/peach-ish blush and a little bit of mascara to achieve this look.

Product Suggestions

Tarte Cosmetics TEN Limited-Edition Natural Cheek Stain 1 oz.

Again, Tarte is my all time favorite blush brand, lasting all day and looking the most natural!

Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage SC-3 One Size

If you want the best department store concealer, this one is IT. Doesn’t budge, doesn’t look cakey when you layer it, stays matte, and covers even the DARKEST acne scars. LOVE IT.

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes!

I just recently tried this on my friend Heather when we went to Sephora last week. This might be my favorite department store mascara as of yet!

Thanks to my friend Heather who was my makeover client! Had a super fun day!

Heather just woke up and we headed straight to my house for a fun makeover day:)

Here are some of the key products we used:

Tart blush

Omg. This is the ONLY blush I’ve ever found that actually lasts all day.

I used the color “true love,” a perfectly pink shade, no shimmer. Great for day wear

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

It’s only the best! You’ll forget all about wanting to set aside your life savings for those monthly eyelash extensions every other woman is donning.

Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara

And you can’t forget the mascara! This stuff is so amazing. Even to its dying day, as it’s drying out, it still doesn’t clump. still. Amazing to the very end. That’s the kind of product that I want to feature. I think this mascara is the hidden little gem of drugstore mascaras.

Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer

This little guy is the star of the show. I used it to highlight Heather’s cheeks and also added it to her lips for a subtle day shimmer.

Other tools in your toolbox? You definitely need concealer. I love Revlon Photoready Concealer

You also need translucent powder. I love Maybelline Shine Free – Loose Oil Control Loose Powder

Lastly, you need a great liquid liner. I’m still on a search for a good one. Some I’ve tried don’t go on dark enough, others go on dark enough but have a really difficult applicator. Readers, do you have any suggestions?

In my next post, I’m going to break down the application process and hopefully have a video for you guys!

Gotta love suspenders + shorts + hat

HEART this look! shorts and button down shirt in same color + nude open toe heels

If you have the body, jeans and a tank look amazing... Love the big-ish beanie!

Doesn't even look like her! But love the pigtails.

nothing makes for an easy "sporty" look like adding numerals to a fitted t-shirt

this says "I'm not trying hard"- breezy sandals paired with a casual printed t, jean shorts and a waistcoat. oh and she looks like she just threw on the bling!

Another great thing to wear with suspenders... high waisted pants!

classic ray bans. classic black motorcycle jacket. TRENDY red hot pants. Love it!

How cute is Jessica Alba’s outfit at the beginning?

hats and vests– always a fan!

Here are some great ideas. (and they are all on sale!) It’s all about shimmer ladies:

I love the detailing of the sleeves

The chain belt makes this "Greecian" look more edgy
