The Best Makeup Trends for Summer

Summer is a great time to experiment with new clothing, hairstyles, and types of makeup. If you’re unsure where to start with your summer makeup, check out these up-and-coming makeup trends.

Bright Colors

Colorful makeup is in this year. Bright colors appear in all types of makeup, including lipstick, eyeliner, eyeshadow, and nail polish. One of the big eye shadow colors featured on the runway was purple, and many models wore this color both on their eyelids and under their eyes. Teal was also popular, with many models wearing teal eyeliner. Brightly colored nail polish is also big, especially orange, hot pink, and yellow. Bright, colorful makeup is a great choice if you want to go for a bold look this summer.

Red Lipstick

Red is a classic lipstick color, and it’s making a comeback in a big way. Red lipstick was worn in many runway shows this year, and it’s also a favorite of many actresses and pop stars. Every woman needs a tube of red lipstick in her makeup case. This makeup's powers include the ability to make you look as glamorous as a 1940s film star.

Natural Makeup

While there are a lot of bright colors and bold makeup looks that are big this year, natural makeup also happens to be huge. Although the goal of this look is to make it appear like you’re not wearing any makeup, it actually takes a lot of makeup to pull off. You’ll need to apply foundation and concealer to make your skin even, and you'll want to wear a blush that’s close to your skin tone to give your skin a light flush.

For your eyes, choose an eye shadow that’s close to your skin tone, and pick soft gray or light brown eyeliner that will give your eyes a slight bit of definition. Finally, for your lips, pick the color that’s closest to your natural lip color. If you want to take part in both the brightly colored makeup and the natural makeup trends, you could alternate your look every other day, wearing teal or purple eyeshadow one day, and then natural makeup the next.

These summer makeup trends are fun to do and will make you look wonderful. Makeup’s powers include making you feel great about yourself, and transforming how you look on a daily basis. These trends do all that and more.
