Beach Fashion Accessories That Match Your Bikini

Imagine it, you've just bought your new bikini and now you want to accessorize it. So, how do you go about it? What is the latest beach fashion that will show off your new Bikini at its best? Actually you might be surprised at the number of accessory options open to you.

You can carry your sun block in matching handbags or plastic beach bags. Dazzle the other beach goers with matching jewellery and keep the sun at bay looking cool in your matching sunglasses and hats. For a classy, stylish look you can even add a matching sarong to your new bikini. In fact whichever brand of Bikini you choose you can easily glam it up with a whole host of well thought out beach fashion accessory ideas.

Bikini's come in all colours and shades so it shouldn't be too difficult to find beach fashion accessories that match your bikini. Irrespective of your colour choice, taste and style you will find a bikini of your choice. This has made it easy to find an accessory that will go with it.

Picking an accessory can be quite tricky. The trick is to find beach fashion accessories that are contrasting, yet are in the same colour palette or close to the colour of your bikini. These accessories can include bracelets, necklaces, earrings, anklets, flip flops, sunglasses, your bag and yes, even your beach towel. However, you don't want to seem like you scoured the entire mall for accessories that matched perfectly! Some contrasting colours and similar shades will give you the laid back and relaxed image that you would want to portray while lazing in the sun.

The accessories should not be in excess, less you mar the beauty of the bikini. They are not to draw away attention from your sexy bikini. Their primary aim is to compliment it. This should be kept in mind while picking the appropriate accessory.

If you are planning to take a dip, ensure your accessories are easy to take off and stash in your bag. You don't want to spend an enormous amount of time to get ready for a swim! Lest you lose the fun you seek on the beach.

When picking bags, ensure you choose one that is big enough to carry your beach towel and sunscreen, but small enough so it does not take away any attention from the main attraction, you in your fabulous new bikini!

Beach Beauty - Tips for Maintaining the Glam While Soaking Up the Sun

Looking your best at the beach is an issue we all struggle with- unless, that is, you're willing to awkwardly doggy paddle in circles in an attempt to keep your mascara from running. Fortunately, advancements in today's cosmetics industry allow us to embrace our day at the beach with as much poise as we would anywhere else. Waterproof products keep your makeup intact even in the harshest of conditions and new forms of sun protection allow for a near perfect complexion.

Waterproof mascara is a must in beach makeup. You can find this product in high-end department stores, beauty shops and even drug stores. Most of these products will get the job done, however not all waterproof mascaras are created equal. Consider a product like MAC's Splashproof Lash for your day at the beach to compliment your glowing skin. This product stays true to its name and will stay in place but I wouldn't recommend it for everyday use. There is some difficulty in removing it, but thankfully there are other options out there, like clear mascara that offers lift and volume without the worries of smudging.

Mascara is not the only thing that comes in waterproof form these days. Eyeliner has been formulated to do the same thing, though there aren't many that can withstand an entire day at the beach. Most waterproof eyeliners are designed to stay put under conditions of oily skin and perspiration. You won't find an eyeliner advertising its ability to remain in place after being submerged in water, however, I found a product that does just that and it's called Liquid Last Liner by MAC Cosmetics. I always wear this liner to the beach and it has proven to withstand sun, sweat, salt water and sunscreen every time.

Consider using a lip stain to add a bit of color to your lips. The good thing about lip stains is that they are long lasting as they literally do stain your lips for much longer than lipstick or gloss. Lip stains can be found in your local drugstore or department stores, however I find the drug store versions are very similar to more expensive brands. In addition to a lip stain, don't forget a good lip protection balm with SPF like Burt's Bees or Carmex. They will not only protect your sensitive lip skin, but will also add a little shine.

Most of us aren't too picky about the way our skin looks at the beach, but if you should feel so inclined to improve on the appearance of your face, consider Peter Thomas Roth's Bronze Instant Mineral SPF 30. This powdered formula comes with a brush for easy application and offers great protection from the sun. The powder absorbs oil allowing for a matte look and a light tinted shimmer gives your skin some radiance. The downside is that it will come off in the water so layer it with an oil-free water resistant sunscreen and reapply after patting your face dry.

Now the key to wearing makeup to the beach is to look like you're not wearing makeup, so use these products sparingly. A little will go along way and, in the end, remember that the beach is like a safe haven, a therapeutic atmosphere to relax and feel comfortable in your own skin. So if you find this regiment a little overwhelming, no problem. Try settling on one product first and see how you like it.
