Makeup, overall is quite seasonal, where things that work in the winter actually do not in the summer. Summer is the best time to try a fresh new look

This summer is a great time for glowing skin and bright and vibrant colors. This summer the hot look will be all natural and fresh with a splash of vibrant color.

5 Great Makeup Tips for Summer

Skin
Always use a foundation that has a good SPF protection. Remember that in the summer, less is more, so go for less heavy foundation and blend outward from your nose for a continuous finish.

For this summer’s fresh looks leave the heavy foundations off and go for a tinted mosturizer, it’s lighter and behaves better in hot sweaty weather.

Eyes
The best way to make a splash this summer with vibrant and bright eye shadows. Make your eyes sparkle; make them speak volumes with a stroke of a brush. You don’t have to be shy this summer, get daring with the eyes and use makeup in teals, greens, yellos and bright blues.

This is a great time to try the brand new summer collection from MAC makeup called MAC Style Warriors that features yellows, purples and bright blues that are the perfect makeup colors for a hot summer time day or a sultry night. And with eyeliner you can still create that great smoky eye without having to reply on dark shades.

Cheeks
Who doesn’t want high cheeckbones? Create a nice contour with a blush. So why not highlight them with sheer pinks, soft roses, subtle peaches and delicate apricots, all of which compliment the summer.

Apply them at the temple, in an upward motion into the hairline; this sweeping application gives you a youthful appearance.

Lips
Red lips remain in fashion this seasons with ruby red leading the pack. If red is not your flavor, then gloss is in full summer swing, a light dewy pink, hot pink, apricot or even clear gloss is a sure way to make your lips shine.

And remember these, they are always safe bets:

1. Silver, gold, bronze and mauves in metallic are still very hot.

2. Use fake lashes, they pop the eyes and sometimes it’s all you need.

3. Nail color completes the overall makeup picture. Fashion nails this summer will be wearing glittery, vibrant and super gloss tints in purples and pinks.

Use the above makeup tips to look fabulous this summer.
