When the hottest days of the year arrive, summer makeup looks call for refreshing updates to your beauty routine. And what better way to polish your look than with a few standout trends?
From bold red lips that pack a punch to shimmering eyeshadow that radiates summer vibes, these looks offer a variety of options to suit any occasion. The right makeup enhances your features and complements the light, airy feel of the season’s days and nights.
Summer Makeup Looks
Bold Red Lips
This vibrant summer look features a bold red lip and fresh, glowing skin, perfect for making a statement. The contrast of the striking lip color with rosy cheeks and subtly defined eyes creates a chic, fashionable look ideal for any sunny occasion.
For the eyes, use a neutral base eyeshadow and add a touch of shimmery gold to the lids. To get the best red lip, choose a long-lasting matte lipstick to ensure a vibrant color all day.
Glossy Lips
This look centers around luscious, glossy lips that embrace the natural beauty of your features. The shiny finish brings a touch of glamour, making it perfect for both day and night.
Use a nude lip liner to define the shape of the lips, then apply a product like MAC Cosmetics’ Lipglass lip gloss for a clear glass finish. The idea is to get lips that look plump, hydrated, and irresistibly glossy.
Dramatic Winged Eyes
If you want a bold look, then go for dramatic winged eyes that stand out with their striking graphic liner. A combination of sharp eyeliner and shimmering eyeshadow creates an intense gaze that makes a beauty statement.
Create the winged effect using a liquid eyeliner like Diorshow Stylo, ensuring the lines are precise and sharp. Complete the look with multiple coats of volumizing mascara for defined lashes.
Natural & Dewy
Achieve a fresh, dewy look that embodies effortless summer beauty. It’s all about glowing skin with the minimal makeup trend, ideal for a day at the beach or a casual outdoor event.
Apply a cream blush in a soft pink shade to add a subtle touch of color to your cheeks. For the final flourish, use a refreshing facial mist throughout the day to keep your skin looking dewy and hydrated.
Bronzed Glow
Channel the essence of sun-kissed beauty with a focus on bronzed and glowing skin with soft, smokey eyes. It’s perfect for when you are short on time for makeup but still want a glamorous look.
Use a warm-toned bronzer to add depth to your cheekbones and temples. For the eyes, apply a soft brown eyeshadow and blend well, then line your eyes with dark brown eyeliner for a subtle smokey effect.
Vibrant Orange Eyeshadow
This vibrant look features colorful eyeshadow in shades of orange and gold, making it a standout look in the heat. It’s ideal for those looking to make a statement at a party or date night.
To achieve this look, apply a bright orange eyeshadow on your lids, blending it into a golden shade towards the inner corners. Finish with a few coats of mascara and a peachy-pink lip gloss for a fresh and balanced look.
Electric Glam
Looking for that music festival or club outing glam? This bold, electric look features vibrant blue eyeshadow paired with a glossy orange-red lip. Combining bright colors and a high-shine finish creates a striking 80s makeup look.
Apply a bright blue eyeshadow to your lids, blending it into the crease to get the look. A wet makeup brush intensifies the eyeshadow color for an even more vibrant appeal.
Metallic Purple Eyes
This look focuses on metallic purple eyeshadow, making it ideal for glamorous evening events like a cocktail or themed party. The shimmering finish adds a touch of drama.
Use a hint of highlighter on the inner corners to brighten your eyes. You can apply a bit of glitter to the center of your lids for extra sparkle and dimension. Opt for a soft, nude lip to keep the focus on your eyes.
Playful Pop of Color
For a playful look, opt for vibrant blue eyeliner and a touch of yellow eyeshadow, excellent for daytime events or summer parties. The bright colors add a fun, youthful vibe to your makeup.
Finish with a light coat of mascara and a peachy nude lip color to make your eye makeup really stand out. To make your eyes appear larger and brighter, apply white eyeliner on the waterline.
