Get the Look of Chromat’s Spring 2016 Lookbook with These 5 Products and Rock Poolside Beauty

Wet, wild and definitely joyous, summer brings out bold brights and beach bods. Chromat’s Spring 2016 collection exemplifies this wonderfully: dewy, waterproof and slick, it’s a sun-soaked romp. A lush cat-eye, rich lips and overall sunkissed makeup looks excellent with artfully cutout suits and futuristic monokinis. You’ll want a cold drink for this one, since you’ll be smokin’ hot poolside all summer long.

  1. “artfully cutout suits and futuristic monokinis”

    I completely agree how arty those bathing suits are…! Those “line-works” (I don’t know how else to describe it) are really cool. Hell, I bet they make tan lines way cooler.

    Also can I just say, that cologne set looks beautiful? Nice complimentary colors going on.

  2. I’ve recently discovered purple is a shade of lipstick that works well for me, so I will take a look at the mayballin one suggested here. Thank you!

    • Purple looks great on many folks, I wish more people would try it! So lovely, I’m sure you will look boss.

    • I highly recommend Revlon ColorBurst Matte Balm in the color Shameless … it’s a gorgeous dark, but bright purple, it stays on really well and it’s just awesome! Purple lipstick forever <3

  3. Yesssss to all those swimsuits! I got a strappy thing from Forever 21 that everyone loves and I’m glad I hunted it down on ebay.

  4. I stand by L’Oreal infallible pro-last lip color. That stuff doesn’t budge..you have to actually take it off. It won’t come off in the water.

  5. I hate that eyeliner, TBH. It rolled up and off… like when you put paste on your fingers as a kid. If you use it, don’t even think about touching your eyes, not even a little bit.
