Summer Makeup Looks You Should Try This Season

Summertime is perfect for being able to wear less makeup due to the heat! While for some it may bring anxiety not being able to cover up very well, it is actually much better for your skin to let it breath (and you look much more natural with less being more!) You really don’t have to put on much to look good this summer; sometimes going minimal is the best option! Here are some summer makeup looks you should try this season!

Subtle Bronze

Try this super sexy summer look by applying some light bronzer to your makeup. All you have to do is do a light brown smokey eye look; you don’t even need to do eyeliner! Just finish off with some mascara and a brush of bronze to your face to get that natural tan look for the summer! Top it off with a light pink lip liner or lipstick and you will be ready to go out!

The Sunset Look

Get a little more adventurous with this super pretty summer makeup look! Experiment with some warm pops of color for your eye shadow. Good ones are pinks, oranges, and shades of burgundy and gold! It will give what I like to call a “sunset” look which is obviously perfect for the summertime. I recommend doing minimal eyeliner and lips if you are going for this look so that it doesn’t come off as putting on too much!

Au Natural

This is one of the best and easiest summer makeup looks! Why? Because your natural face does most of the work! Summer is perfect for going minimal on the makeup; your skin and even boys will thank you for that! You don’t want to look all cakey with foundation and too much makeup in general because let’s be honest; it will likely sweat off (gross)!

All you need to do for this look is brush up on those eyebrows with a light liner, put a soft golden color on your lids, finish off your lashes with light mascara, and put on some light cream foundation (I recommend BB cream) on your face! You can top it off with a nude lip color too!

Summer Nights

Of course there will be those nights where you will be beaching makeup-less and those nights where you want to go out dancing! For that, you could try a super sexy, smokey, makeup look with a dash of metallic color. Good ones include fuchsia, deep purples, and electric blues. Top it off with some fake lashes if you want a more dramatic look and you will look smoking hot!

Golden Glow

This is a classic and very chic summer makeup look you should try this season. The golden glow look is super simple yet goes a long way with making any outfit look elegant without trying too much. All you need is a palate of gold and bronze type of colors. To get a smokey look, go with deeper browns on the lids and more gold on the outside. Shade in some brown or black eyeliner. Finish off with light brown lip color and some bronze contouring on the face!

Tropical

Great for those exotic locations like Miami or Havana, you will fit right in with some crazy fun tropical colors for your summer makeup look! Get adventurous and play with lots of warm palates. To get that color to look more vivid, put some base on the lids (Urban Decay is really good). Have fun with this one!

Peachy Keen

Another great and simple summer makeup look is the peachy glow. Look for subtle peaches and pinks for your lids for that minimal but noticeable brightness! For this, you also don’t have to go crazy with lips or eyeliner. A good amount of mascara should do the trick to bring some pop into your eyes. You will look like a yummy peach with this one!
