Prescriptives have just launched their cosmetics line for the summer, aptly titled "Urban Heat". Apparently, they know a thing or two about the long-term weather forecast for the summer months, because as far as heat goes, we'll definitely be having plenty of that. What better way, then, to prepare ourselves and look ahead than by having a closer look at what the people at Prescriptives have in mind for the summer season and see what trends, colors and styles best fit us. Just in case, you know.

The first thing to note is that they definitely seem to have added a few brand-new items to their collection, such as the Color Scope Lip Gloss and the Creamy Eye Color. It's a good idea to wear creamy eye shadow in the summer, as it will be easier to blend it in with a moisturizing sunscreen, for example, with the added bonus that it will stay on all day. The basic coordinates of the new Prescriptives "Urban Heat" collection are the glowing, bronzed skin, the shimmery eyeshadows in earth tones and nuances of bright azure and purple, and the lush, fiery lip gloss nuances.

The new Colorscope Lip Gloss provides exquisite shine and a sheer finish. It has a smooth, lightweight texture that will leave your lips feeling soft and stick-free. For an added dash of color, it can be worn over a matching shade of lipstick for a plus of shine and moisture. Another novelty is the Kohl Eye Pencil range, a collection of soft, richly colored eyeliners that will help you achieve your favorite smoky or demure look without drying your lids.

Finally, the eyeshadows. Colorscope Eye Color comes in two variations - a silky and a creamy one. The silky formula is designed to be long-wearing and comfortable on your eyes, also bringing you brilliant new colors, such as bright azure or iridescent iris for stunning, jewel-like effects. The creamy variety will stay color-true all day and you won't have to worry about creasing. You'll love the daring sparkling shades of gold and gunmetal, which can be worn individually or on top of the complementary silky nuances for stunning 3D effects.
