Summer is approaching, and that means that it's about to get ridiculously hot. Since the seasons are changing, it's time to change our makeup routine to accommodate the weather. There is no need to beat your face during the summer, an easy fresh face is all you need. Here are some tips that will have your face looking young and fresh for summer.
1. No need for foundation.
Ditch your foundation this summer, and use a BB cream instead. Foundations can be heavy and cause you to sweat as the weather warms up. Try using a BB cream or tinted moisturizer, they are lightweight and will leave your face feeling fabulous.
2. Wear a clear mascara.
Everyone loves to go swimming in the summer, but no one loves raccoon eyes. Instead of using that jet black mascara, that claims to be waterproof, try using a clear mascara. A clear mascara will give you all of the length with none of the mess.
3. Ditch the dark lips
The summer time is all about fun and bright colors. Don't reach for that dark plum that you used in December. A nice nude , or pink tone lipstick is perfect for the summer, and of course, you can never go wrong with a red lip.
4. Brighten up your eyes
The new trend for the eyes is colored eyeliner. Makeup artist are saying bye bye to the typical black cat eye, and instead, they are trying bold colors. Also, you can use a light brown or white eyeliner pencil on your water line to make your eyes larger, and younger.
5. Plump up those lips.
Do you want Kylie Jenner lips without the surgery? To make your lips appear larger and more defined use a light eyeshadow with a little sparkle, and dab it on the center of your bottom lip. To make your cupids bow more defined just outline it with the same eye shadow that you use on your lips. I highly recommend this tip when you opt to wear lip gloss instead of lipstick.
6. Glow baby glow
The sun is always shining in the summer, and that means so should you. Summer is the time to highlight your face to the max. When you highlight, you draw attention to the areas that the sun hit naturally. During the summer the sun is out all the time, so make sure you add a little sparkle to your cheekbones, nose, and the center of your forehead. I would use a powder highlight instead of concealer because it's lightweight.
7. Sunset eyes
The biggest trend makeup celebrity makeup artist are doing lately are sunset eyes. Instead of doing a whole eyeshadow look, just add a color with an orange or red tint to the crease of your eye to add dimension.
8. Blush
Blush is great for the summer. It adds a pop of color to your face, just don't overdo it. Adding too much blush will cause you to look like a clown...literally.
9. Lock in those brows
Everyone loves for their brows to be on point, but it's super embarrassing to rub your face, and take off a part of your brows. So this summer make sure to use a brow gel, in order to keep your brows in place all day.
10. Prime, Prime, Prime
The is the most important step for this summer. If you want to keep your makeup lasting all day, it is essential to apply a primer. Primers go on your face before your makeup and acts as a base for your makeup to stick to. A good primer will keep your makeup on no matter how sweaty or oily you get.
