Summer is a great time to highlight
your dewy skin and to experiment with bold makeup colors. The hottest trends this
season all offer a lot of chances for you to flaunt your effortless look on the
beach and under the heat of the sun. Try out these styles and create a lasting
impression that’ll last beyond the season.
Negative Space
Eyeliner
This is the eyeliner version of negative space nails. To
pull off this look, just trace the outlines of the cat eye. You’re going for a
cut-out effect, meaning your lines need to stay in place. Use a shadow primer
and a budge-proof liquid liner paired with precise lines to exude amysterious
and retro air.
Non-Touring
Wearing a full contour to the beach may seem a little out of
place, especially if you need to take a dip in the water. Instead, try out the
non-touring technique. The complete opposite of creating sharp lines,
non-touring is all about having soft and dewy skin. The key items for this look
include a tinted moisturizer, highlighter, and a luminous shimmer. This style
also makes use of a lighter foundation to deliver a natural look — very apt for
the hot summer months.
Sandbagging
Summer usually means dealing with melting lip colors and a
shiny T-zone. To avoid these problems, Instagram vloggers and makeup artists
have turned to a technique called sandbagging. After applying your concealer, get
some loose powder and apply it underneath any places that tend to be oily. Use
it around the bottom edges of your lips, under your eyes, or on your T-zone to
absorb grease for a matte, smooth #FOTD.
Lip Oils
Now there’s a brand-new kid on the moisturizing block: lip
oils. In addition to adding a bit of color to your lips, these moisturizing
products also erase the fine lines around your mouth. They’ll also help you get
that shiny, wet finish that’ll have your lips double-tap-worthyon Instagram.
Color Lashes
Summer means it’s time to play with bold, vibrant colors. After
colored hair and eyeliners comes the reign of colored lashes. Take a bit of the
ocean’s vibrant blue with a swipe of color on your lashes, complimented with
eyeliner for a striking, memorable look.
Glitter Tears
Add a bit of sparkle and shimmer, or go over the top with
glitter tears. Applied from under the eye and down the cheek, this style can
make you look like you’ve just cried a river without messing up your makeup.
Glitter tears can be created from shimmering eyeshadow or actual glitter, and
moisturizer to stick them on. They’re also great for hiding under-eye circles.
Glossy Lids
Warm, glossy lids can be easy to recreate. The key is to
make shiny, dewy lids and to avoid them looking slimy and oily. You can do this
with a swipe of Vaseline, or some unused lip balm applied on top of your shadow
and liner. It’s important to note that you only need to swipe on the center of
your lids because the product will naturally move towards the corners of your
eye. Blur it with some black eyeliner and add some mascara, and you’re ready to
hit the dance floor with glistening eyes and a sexy smile.
