Makeup is one of those things you either love or hate. Me, personally — I love makeup. I am a makeup addict. Junkie. Connoisseur. Whatever you’d like to call it, I’ll fess up to. I even have a beauty channel of my own on YouTube, NicolesNook! Check it out. Anyway, after stalking Pinterest and magazine covers lately, I can tell you there are some interesting trends for summer 2016! Have you tried any of these?

1. Pops of teal!

Whether it be subtle eyeliner or a bold teal smoky eye, blue is all the rage this year. Try it if you dare. #bebold

2. Liquid Lipsticks!

Ah, the trendy hybrid lip concept seen everywhere from the drugstore to Sephora and Ulta. I would suggest the Anastasia Beverly Hills, Kylie Lipkits or Kat Von D.

3. Bold lip colors.

Hey, when are bold lips ever out of style? However, summer is the perfect time to try a coral, bright fuchsia, red. Whatever your little heart desires, you rock it, my friend. Hint: try Anastasia Beverly Hills Persimmon for something bold and outside of the box! Maybelline, Wet n Wild and NYX make some awesome look alike if you’re not a liquid lip fan. I know, sometimes they are a pain to remove and sort of drying…

4. Glowy, dewy skin.

But when is this ever not in style? Again, another statement look if you so choose. I don’t care if I look like a disco ball, highlight is my friend! I absolutely love a good bronzed glow and shimmer to my cheeks! Try out the Becca highlights (ahem, Champagne Pop by Jaclyn Hill), the Anastasia Glow Kits, or even Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips are beautiful!

Makeup is my addiction and hobby. I could write on and on for years; however, I’ll spare you the pain of that. What are your favorite makeup brands? Tell us in the comments!
