When it comes to summer, you want to spend as much time outside and as little time inside. Taking an hour to do your makeup just isn’t as appealing as it might be in the fall and winter. Sure, caking your face for special occasions in the summer are great, but for day-to-day life, it’s better to keep your summer makeup looks simple because you’re probably going to sweat it all off anyway!
This classic makeup look will always be a summertime go-to. Your bronzer can work double-time as an eye shadow too! Don’t be afraid to go a little heavy-handed to achieve a real sun-goddess glow.

All that extra sun exposure leads to those cute little freckles to pop out if you’re lucky. But, if you need a little help in that department, there’s no shame in fudging a few spots on your nose. Make sure you use a variety of colors and sizes in order for your faux freckles to go undetected! This is one of the summer makeup looks that gives you a naturally sun-kissed vibe.

Even if you’re rocking a barely any makeup look, there’s no need to skimp on the lashes. Bold, fluttery eyelashes are always a must and are an easy way to make your face seem a little brighter.
One of the hottest color trends for makeup right now is peach. You can easily make a monochromatic pink look by sweeping your blush over your eyelids and cheeks and by topping the face off with a warm peachy lip gloss! You can never go wrong with peachy tones for summer makeup looks!

You’re going to be sweaty, so you might as well embrace it! Dewy skin is a beautiful way to look young and fresh. Sweep your favorite champagne-colored sparkle over the high points of your face like your cheekbones, nose, brow bone, cupid bow and chin. This is one of the summer makeup looks that you will be glad you tried.

You can never ever go wrong with a nice firey red lip. It adds a sophisticated chicness to any look. For the perfect look go with a simple eye, long lashes, light bronzer and finish it off with your favorite orange lipstick!

This oxymoron has taken over the beauty world. Wearing makeup in order to look like you’re not wearing makeup? What’s the point?? Well, it’s amazing, that’s why! Some brow gel, mascara and some light spot concealing will be your summer savior.
One of the best parts of summer is that you have an excuse to play with color. So, pull out that fuchsia lippy you bought on a whim and rock it!

Another great way to incorporate color into your summer makeup is by sweeping a bright shade on your lower lash line. This can be a more subtle way to do it, but if you use the right colors your eyes will POP! For blue eyes, try a pop of orange. For brown eyes, place a bright blue along the lashes. For green, a royal purple will really make them shine!

You may not be walking it, but you really ought to be drawing the line (on your eye, that is!). A simple winged liner should be in everyone’s makeup repertoire because it will always be in style. Get a nice black liquid liner and practice, because this look won’t be going out of style any time soon!
