Radiate sunshine with your warm weather look, leaving that winter routine behind until the cold rolls around again. Check out these tips on how to glow up to find those perfect accents for your summer style.
When the sun kisses your hair in those warm summer months, it naturally lightens your hair. So it only makes sense that one way to glow up this summer is to get some highlights. The lighter accents will soften your appearance and create the illusion that your skin was sun kissed as well.
If you are not a fan of dying your hair, there are sprays you can add to your hair that will lighten your hair when they are heated, meaning when you blow dry your hair. This gives results similar to what the sun would do. Of course, there is also the obvious option of either buying a dye kit or going to the salon to get highlights. Whichever you choose, your hair will totally be summer worthy.
Including a little extra highlight on your face when you put on your makeup is a phenomenal way to glow up. It brightens your face and creates a dewy appearance, which is a huge summer trend. Plus, highlight literally makes your face seem to glow, as it reflects the light.
Many of us are accustomed to a powder highlight, but cream highlight is ideal for glowing up this summer. It is more concentrated when you apply it, meaning a little goes a long way. Additionally, it sets better than powder, which can become cakey. The cream highlight glides onto your face, and you can decide how much you want on by blending it.
That hot summer sun will dry out your face, so always make sure to apply a good moisturizer every day. Not only will it help you achieve that natural dewy glow, it also will help your skin stay healthy. Applying a moisturizer at the beginning of each day will give you that glow with minimal effort.
There are fantastic moisturizers out there that also contain SPF 15, a double whammy in the skin protection zone. There are so many face moisturizers to choose from, so definitely take the time to research and find out which one will work best for your skin type. Apply your moisturizer before applying your makeup to help your makeup look more natural, letting that glow peek through.

Well, if you are wondering how to glow up this summer, hiding those dark circles with lighter foundation or concealer is a great idea. Doing this will make you look more perky and bright, not to mention the happiness you will feel thanks to this glow up secret.
If you have a hard time hiding your dark circles without your under-eyes looking cakey, try applying eye cream first. This will help keep the foundation and concealer you apply under your eyes in place and even. Try using lighter foundation for under your eyes to brighten them up even more.

Just make sure the bronzer you go with has shimmer. Apply to all areas you usually contour, like your forehead, cheeks, nose, and whatever else you wish for a warm summer look.

More shimmer! Part of glowing up and owning it entails a level of naturalness. This is why neutral eyeshadows are the best for glowing up, and adding some shimmer is the icing on the cake. Your eyes will seem to be sparkling as the sun hits this glow up addition.
When choosing which eyeshadow colors to wear to glow up this summer, choose ones that are neutral and light, close to your skin tone.

The moisture locking super powers of lip gloss make it great for keeping your lips healthy and for glowing up your lip appeal. Once again, the dewy results lip gloss provide are fantastic for summer time, alluding to the heat while also adding so much glow to your face because it is reflective.
Whether you like clear lip gloss or gloss with some color, try to keep it natural. Choose neutral lip gloss colors or apply bolder colors lightly for the ultimate glow up. If you love a bold lip, though, applying a bold lip gloss color will still reflect the light and brighten up your summer style.
There is a difference between vanity and confidence, and confidence is what we are aiming for here. When you are confident in who you are, it shows, and you glow. Confidence will help you glow up physically and mentally, and you can certainly do so without being cocky about it.
