7 Must-try Makeup Trends for Summer

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.
