Country Grammar Klaudia Tirico
Too Faced Country Nashville Nudes Eye Shadow Collection, $36
This country music-inspired palette is about as versatile as a pair of cowboy boots. With nine pretty neutral and jewel tone shadows, the Nashville Nudes Eye Shadow Collection (out this month at Ulta) captures the Southern capital’s charm with shimmering finishes and bold pops of color. It even comes with a how-to guide for three beauty looks to help get your country grammar on. You’ll be the center of attention before you can even say “howdy.”

Country Grammar Klaudia Tirico
How to wear it: Channel your inner country music star by slipping into a pair of Mexicana Polo Embroidered Distressed Leather Ankle Boots and a fringe suede jacket before hitting the streets of Nashville. Plus, swipe on Too Faced’s Better Than Sex Mascara to turn up the neutral eyeshadows in the palette and snag yourself a hot cowboy who won’t be able to resist those eyes. Finish up the look with a simple nude gloss, like Buxom’s Full-Bodied Lip Gloss in Yoo-Hoo, and a spritz of Dior Cuir Cannage, a blend of soft floral and masculine leather notes.

The Butterfly Effect Klaudia Tirico
How to wear it: It may feature warm neutral shadows, but the Monarch Palette screams bad-ass biker babe, don’t you think? Dress it up with butterfly baubles that are far from girly – like Alexander McQueen’s Gold-Tone Swarovski Crystal Butterfly Necklace. Stay in the metallic neutral family for day with Make Up For Ever Lab Shine Lip Gloss Diamond Collection in D18, a coppery bronze gloss, and switch it up for night with a vampy pout using Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick in Homegirl and a glittery cat eye courtesy of Sephora Collection's Retractable Waterproof Eyeliner in Glitter Copper. Kat would be so proud.

Metallic Rainbow Klaudia Tirico
Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No. 7 - Plush Shadow in The Siren, $59
The polarized look is big for summer and this palette channels the effect to the T. The rainbow of hues pack a lot of punch and the color pay off is no joke. Wear them alone or blend them together to create a cool layer of metallics on your lids. It’s the perfect way to add some color to an all-white ensemble.

Metallic Rainbow Klaudia Tirico
How to wear it: A metallic eye calls for a pair of polarized shades. These Gucci Aviator Metal Sunglasses add a touch of cool to any look. But why should the color stop there? Complement your shadow with a metallic polish like Marc Jacobs Beauty Nail Glaze in Desire Wine or Leighton Denny polish in Golden Girl, or a smoldering orange pout courtesy of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Metallic Copper Frost. Metallic accessories also look fab in the summer sun. Slip your iPhone (protected by Marc by Marc Jacobs 3D Metallic Cover) into Saint Laurent’s Letters Metallic Clutch and take a stroll in Marni’s Metallic Leather Sandals while jamming to your favorite tunes via Frends Layla Leather and Iridescent Metal Headphones.

Tropical Paradise Klaudia Tirico
Tarte Golden Days & Sultry Nights Amazonian Clay Collector's Shadow Palette, $36
If there’s one color that screams summertime, it’s a shimmery turquoise that resembles the crystal clear waters of the tropics. The first shade in Tarte’s five-shadow palette that caught our eye was the beautiful jade shadow dubbed Oceanview, a color that can’t help but look amazing with a bronze glow. Blend the hue with the shimmery gold and copper shadows for a striking look that is ever so slightly muted. That is, if you can get your eyes off the stunning packaging first.

Tropical Paradise Klaudia Tirico
How to wear it: If you can’t get to a tropical paradise this summer, create your own with a splash of Escada’s pina coloda-inspired scent, Born in Paradise, a mix of pineapple, watermelon and coconut notes, and Bumble and bumble Surf Spray, the original beach in a bottle. Play up your look with a coral reef lip and manicure using Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick in Coral Blossom and Jin Soon Nail Polish in Coral Peony, and a contrasting eyeliner like Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in Turquoise. The next best thing to dipping your toes in the ocean is painting them with Lauren B. Beauty’s Venice Beach Venus nail polish, a creamy turquoise. But a beach day isn't complete without a pair of stand-out shades. These funky Anna-Karin Karlsson Tropical Swarovski Crystal Embellished D-Frame Acetate Sunglasses should do the trick.Keywordssummer 2014, eyeshadow, palettes, Kat Von D, too faced, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Make Up For Ever, Tarte
