Summer is around the corner, and so are smoking hot makeup looks for day and night. Summertime often has us wearing less, and your makeup may follow suit. While you are staying cool, be sure to stay hot with a warm and natural summertime look. Of course, there are many cute looks you can wear without going overboard. I will show you five products you can use to help you achieve the perfect summer makeup look no matter what your wearing!
Hydromaniac by Urban Decay is a tinted glow hydrator. Imagine a tinted moisturizer had a sister. This is it. A lightweight but buildable color to brush across your face and cover up any imperfections and discoloration you may have. This product is long-lasting and comes in many shades so that you can find just what you need. Hydromaniac leaves your skin hydrated for 24-hours. Hydromania is infused with Kombucha filtrate and Marula oil. This is the perfect product for a natural summer look that won’t feel heavy or weigh your face down.
Hoola Matte Bronzer by Benefit Cosmetics is a great bronzer to create a natural glow. There are four colors to choose from if you purchase from Ulta. So no matter what skin tone you have, there will be a perfect bronzer tone to create a glowing warmth across your skin. Choose from lite, original, caramel, and toasted. Each color is light, medium, medium-deep, or deep in tone. Though the price may be up there, you only need a little bit of product to create a nice glow, and this bronzer will last a long time. A cute little brush accompanies the box of bronzer so you can easily sweep it across your cheeks and temples. Don’t be afraid to apply the bronzer in other places, such as over the eyelids and neck.
Tarte has loads of quality palettes, but if you are looking to stay in the neutral realm with a hint of color, the Tartelette Juicy Amazonian Clay palette is perfect. If you want to achieve a cute, carefree, laid back, and more natural summer look, this palette gives you shine with a nude color scheme. Be sure to always apply a primer before your eyeshadow to help it from creasing and keep it on the lids longer. (For the primer, you can use Urban Decay Primer Potion or Too Faced Shadow Insurance). The Juicy Amazonian Clay eyeshadow palette has a mix of shimmer and, of course, matte shadows. You will find corals, berries, nudes, and browns in this palette to help you achieve any look, especially a natural. You can try applying the hue rose to the lids if you are looking for a bit of color but nothing too over the top, or you can create a smokey look that appears more natural. For example, try applying wishful or reflect on the lid and inner corner of the eye. Next, apply the colors luscious or charmed to the crease and outer corner of the eye. Be sure to blend the shadows out with a fluffy brush. Apply the shade wishful, or water lily to the brow bone, and you have a cute natural smokey look. You can also add charmed or luscious on your lower lash line and smudge it to complete the look.
Benefit has a lot of quality products, and this is one of them. Eyebrows shape your face, they frame it, so it is important to do your eyebrows whenever you do a makeup look, even if you are doing a natural look. Benefit has made it easy to create, shape, and fill your eyebrows and give you relief for the summer with it being waterproof. Don’t worry about sweating or an encounter with water, as your brows will not wash away, and your framing will stay intact. Choose from many colors to match your brow shade. The pencil glides smoothly but not too smooth to where it will run away from you. Check out the Goof Proof Waterproof Easy Shape and Fill Eyebrow Pencil and start framing your face for a cute summer look.
