Summer makeup. Subtleties

Not only fashion and taste, but also the seasons dictate the choice of cosmetics. Although the weather in the summer has recently been fickle, some stylist recommendations are relevant for both hot and rainy summers.

Features of makeup for the summer

Summer is a time of freedom and naturalness. Makeup is aimed at creating an image of lightness and simplicity. It is characterized by a warm and delicate range of matte shades, minimal use of decorative products. Since the skin suffers from overdrying and ultraviolet radiation in hot weather, additional functions of makeup are moisturizing and sun protection.

Summer is associated with relaxation and freedom, but it also brings with it unpleasant moments that affect the general condition of the skin. At this time of the year, allergic reactions occur more often, forcing either to completely abandon the usual make-up, or to limit oneself to a minimum of necessary funds. The skin produces more sweat, becomes greasy more quickly, and makeup should be applied with regular renewal or adjustment in mind. The heat makes the skin dry and flaky if the pores become clogged, and inflammation occurs in this place. To prevent these troubles, makeup for the summer needs to be well thought out.

First, you need to prepare the skin: use cleansing masks with anti-inflammatory effect, decoctions of medicinal herbs (calendula, chamomile, string), apply a scrub 1-2 times a week. Apply a moisturizer in the morning and evening. Cosmetics used during the day should be chosen with a high SPF factor.

If the skin of your lips is dry and cracked, make masks for them. At home, butter helps, as well as honey, aloe. Make it a rule to use matting wipes during a hot day. They will eliminate oily sheen, remove salts that come out with sweat, and allow you to use the powder less often.

Summer makeup aesthetics is based on the following principles:

matte smooth skin, without burdening with layers of tonal means and powder;
warm pastel colors, the predominance of natural shades associated with summer: golden, bluish, peach, caramel;
usage protective and moisturizing agents.

Summer cosmetics should be chosen based on these features. It is advisable to abandon the foundation if the skin condition allows it. It is better to use a matting powder with absorbents that eliminate the oily sheen and stay on the skin for several hours.

Fashion makeup spring-summer, while maintaining the classic principles, is distinguished by some bold decisions:

arrows on the eyelids of traditional (black, brown) and other tones, highlighting the lower eyelid;
coral, plum, bronze, peach, creamy and chocolate eyeshadow;
maximally light and natural nude makeup;
cheeky makeup in a metallic style (using shiny eyeshadows and lipstick in precious metal shades);
flashy red lips with a minimum amount of shadows and mascara on the eyes;
flashing prominent parts of the face with shimmers and highlighters (strobing technique);
usage shadows of the same tone with blush;
usage rhinestone;
makeup smoky eyes;
laying down eyebrow hairs up.

Summer is a great time to look for a new look, so choose something that highlights your personality and don't be afraid to experiment.

Means used

The funds that you can use in the summer must meet the following criteria:

water resistance;
hypoallergenic;
ability to moisturize and protect from ultraviolet radiation.

Since the pencil holds better than the eyeshadow, it can be used for soft eyelid makeup, blending well. If there is nylon in its composition, then this is for the best: such a composition is more elastic, rolls less.

Matte eyeshadows are more durable than glossy ones. If you are looking for shine, choose a water-based eyeshadow that can last for several hours.

Mascara should be waterproof, and it is better to choose blue or brown shades... It is advisable to completely abandon the liner: it spreads faster and gives the impression of inaccuracy.

In the evening, lipstick should be replaced with gloss, and for day makeup you can use products with beeswax. If you prefer lipstick, choose one that provides a long lasting satin finish in a natural shade. If the lipstick is kept in the refrigerator for a while, its durability increases.

The right makeup is one that gives an impression of health and radiance. The foundation, if you cannot do without it, should have a light and airy texture. Modern trends favor 2-in-1 products - a combination of moisturizer and toner.

Firms

Considering that in the summer women of fashion are more inclined to experiment, famous brands prepared a collection of tools designed specifically for the desire to try the unknown.

Pay attention to colorful eyeliners "Grandiose Liner" by Lancome, which will allow you to draw arrows of the colors that are relevant this season - for example, fuchsia (shade "04 Fuschia Matt").

How to choose cosmetics?

When choosing cosmetics, the basic rules are the same for any season:

quality;
hypoallergenic;
matching your skin type.

A number of other requirements are imposed on cosmetics for the summer, namely:

a fairly high SPF factor;
moisturizing and softening;
water resistance.

All reputable brands meet these requirements. Your job is to choose the most suitable product. If you want to look tanned, but are afraid of prolonged exposure to the sun, bronzers will come to your rescue. If you prefer to keep your fair skin glowing even in the midst of the heat, your makeup should be light pearlescent shades. To achieve this effect, use highlighters, concealers, light matting powder.

Even mild summers can be challenging for delicate skin. Take with you for a walk thermal water and mattifying wipes to keep makeup fresh and skin to stay dry.

How to apply?

To understand how to properly do makeup in hot weather, you need to know what problems you will face. You need to figure out how you can avoid them.

Problem # 1- make-up spreading from the heat. Indeed, the question often arises of how to apply makeup correctly, if the eyeliner creeps, the shadows crumble or roll, and the skin itches under the layer of cosmetics. The primer, which is applied to the face first after you have cleansed and moisturized the skin, will help to maintain the quality of makeup.
Problem # 2- skin that quickly begins to shine in the heat. At high temperature the sebaceous glands work more intensively, an unnecessary oily sheen appears on the skin. To apply tone cream layer by layer is not a way out of the situation. The third layer slips mercilessly, the skin under such a cover breathes worse. The way out is to use water-based products that do not interfere with the skin's breathing, or use anti-shine powder and matting wipes. This will help you feel more comfortable and not disturb the beauty of your makeup.

Modern makeup trends are such that priority is given to delicate matte shades. This applies to both eyeshadows and lipsticks, to blush. Actual image- it is a natural and healthy look, soft and calm range of shades, purity and even skin tone. Light is in fashion this summer, so don't get carried away with acid tones or flashy makeup. One thing should be bright on the face - either lips or eyes.

If it comes about evening make-up, then its contrasting solution may be justified. Performed by an experienced hand, such a make-up enlivens the even pale glow of the face. In this regard, colored arrows look very impressive, allowing you to emphasize the beauty of the eyes, "open" the look. It is better to apply them not with ink, but with a soft eyeliner pencil, shading or leaving a clear line. For brunettes, a makeup solution in purple is suitable, for blondes in gray-blue or silver, and a warm range will emphasize the dignity of a brown-haired woman.

The color of the eyes dictates the saturation of the shade of the shadows: the lighter the iris, the lighter and more transparent the shadows should be.

Professionals advise use natural light shades in makeup in summer. Shadows with a creamy texture are preferred, and it is better to use mascara not black, but brown (or even purple).
This summer's fashion is paradoxical. Perhaps the lack of sunny days and the cold start of the summer season affected, but golden shadows and glitters are back in fashion. They should be paired with light sheer foundation and natural lipstick.
Quite a controversial trend of the current season- highlighting the lower eyeliner. Turquoise, silvery, greenish arrows drawn along the lash line are very fashionable, but they must be combined with delicate shades of shadows, tones and lipstick.
For a memorable evening make-up make-up artists recommend using tones from bluish-plum to pink-purple - of course, taking into account the color of the eyes and combining bright shadows with a soft shade of lipstick.

Hot time for oily skin Is a real test. Therefore, with the onset of dry hot weather, thoroughly cleanse the pores, make drying and anti-inflammatory masks. You need to choose a foundation very carefully, it should not clog the pores. Use a primer, water-based foundation, mask redness with a greenish concealer. A lifesaver on hot days will be a colorless anti-shine powder that does not require multi-layer application during the day.
Home remedies for skin matting are available to anyone, so do not neglect herbal infusions (sage, chamomile, calendula, St. John's wort), do cucumber masks and masks with whipped egg white.
The novelties of the summer season suggest that natural tanning is great. If you protect your skin from the scorching sun, but want to be in trend - use bronzers, which not only give the skin a healthy tan, but also moisturize and protect it from ultraviolet radiation.
If you managed to get tan naturally , use a moisturizer, ditch the powder, soak the makeup in light golden tones that set off the radiance of tanned skin.

This make-up is suitable primarily as a daytime option. To make it look evening, just add bright lipstick and draw arrows.

How to do light makeup

The basis of any, even the fastest and simplest makeup, is a high-quality tone. So you need to start with it. In limited time conditions, it is better to pay less attention to the eyes and lips, but to achieve perfectly even skin. Start with a concealer, which will help you quickly mask problem areas, pimples and redness. Then apply your main foundation. This can be done with a drop-shaped sponge, which allows you to very quickly and efficiently apply tone. In the summer, use a light foundation, such as a sunscreen BB cream. Leave heavy foundations for the winter.
If you have already sunburned, use bronzer, gently applying it to all protruding surfaces of the face: forehead, tip of the nose and cheekbones. Don't forget to run your brush across your neck.
The next step is blush. Using a wide brush, apply some peach or light pink blush to the cheekbones. Do not get carried away too much, it will definitely not help you to do it beautifully light makeup! If you still have a little time left, use a highlighter on the cheekbones and a tick above the upper lip.
Now - the eyebrows. This season they should be given the most attention. You can forget about mascara, eyeshadow and lipstick if you create the perfect complexion and work on your eyebrows. Shape with a special brush and tint them with eyeshadow or pencil.
Mascara will help to make light eye makeup. For daytime makeup, not only black, but also brown is suitable. It is not necessary to apply it in several layers, one or two will be enough to make the eyes brighter, but at the same time remain within the framework of naturalness. You won't need eyeliner and bright shadows for light makeup... If you still want to add something else, use a white pencil for the lower eyelid, as well as a palette of eyeshadows in a neutral shade, such as beige.
The last step is lips. Easy to do beautiful make-up you can use a gloss or a caring lipstick "for every day", which will not weigh down the make-up and add color.

The main trends in summer makeup 2017. How to make an evening, daytime make-up, with the effect of "wet eyelids", for blue, green, brown, gray eyes.

The main makeup trends in the summer of 2017

If this summer you want to be in trend, then you should take into account the basic rules of makeup, regardless of your color type. Consider fashion trends:

Shining face... This is the main trend of the new season. Of course, it is optimal if your skin is well-groomed and literally glowing from the inside in a natural way. However, if you have small imperfections on your face, you can hide them with a transparent base, concealer, light foundation. But remember that your face should not be matte and mask-like. Don't use mattifying foundations and powders this summer. To achieve a radiant effect, use a loose powder with shiny microparticles.
Glitter on lips and eyes... This summer, not only your skin can radiate radiance, but also your lips and eyes. To add shine to them, use some glitter. Bright shades of lipsticks in combination with golden or silver glitter look trendy. You can also cover the eyelids with special sequins.
Arrows... In the new season, they are again at the peak of popularity. It doesn't matter what style of makeup you use. It can be both wide retro-arrows and non-standard "futuristic" ones. They can be black or colored, on the upper and lower eyelids at the same time, with or without glitter.
... Bright arrows and sparkles are very relevant for an evening make-up. But on a summer day, makeup in pastel (nude) colors will look organic. At first glance, it may seem that your face is not at all decorative cosmetics... But at the same time, maximum attention should be paid to masking possible defects. First of all, these are circles under the eyes, secondly, the vascular mesh, and thirdly, rashes and redness. All these shortcomings must be eliminated with concealer. The latter should have a dense texture of beige, cream, peach, pale pink. The special texture ensures that your natural make-up does not "melt" under the rays of the scorching sun.
Strange colors lipstick... This summer, makeup artists and stylists surprise fashionistas with original lip tints. If you are not afraid of experimenting with your appearance, then feel free to get lipstick in the color of dusty asphalt, lime and June greenery. If you are a follower of classic trends, then red lipstick does not lose its relevance this summer. The fashionable shade of red in the new season is the "red apple".
Lower eyeliner... If you love arrows, then this summer you can experiment with the eyeliner on the lower eyelid. Moreover, it should be bright and catchy. The rest of the eye should be left natural.
Bright shadows... To create a fresh and attractive look this year, you can use bright "fruity" eyeshadow. Green, red, turquoise "eyes" are at the height of fashion this summer.
Wet shadows... It is very fashionable in hot weather to add radiance not only to the skin, but also to the eyelids. New trend- wet eyelids. To achieve this effect, you can make up your eyes with creamy eyeshadow or regular lip gloss.
Natural eyebrows ... Forget about thin, neat eyebrows. The squeak of fashion is natural, tousled, bushy eyebrows. You can give them the desired look using clear gel and brushes.

Besides the main fashion trends in makeup, this summer, you should take into account the features of the make-up for hot weather. Unlike winter make-up, summer make-up should be more persistent so as not to flow under the sun's rays. If you go outside during the day and don't want to use a thick foundation, try a moisturizer with a light toning effect. It will even out the tone of the face, give it a shine. Look for products with particles that reflect light for the summer.

When choosing a lipstick or lip gloss, keep in mind that a quality product should contain SPF filters. sunlight... A good lipstick should have a high pigment content so that it can get wet and “hammer in” the shade with your fingertips.

If you want to add shine to your make-up, use a liquid texture highlighter. It is enough to apply it on the top of the cheekbones, under the eyebrow, on the back of the nose. But make sure that the highlighter does not get on the tip of the nose, otherwise a slight shimmer will look like an oily sheen.

Also in summer you can use multifunctional cosmetics... So, use lip tint as blush and gloss as liquid eyeshadow.

Varieties of summer makeup

This summer, stylists and makeup artists advise not to limit or restrain your imagination in the matter of creating makeup. Both translucent "nude" make-up options and bright ones with an emphasis on the eyes, for example, smokey ice with various color solutions... Choose any makeup that suits your face, time of day and occasion.

Beautiful summer makeup for walking

Initially, the “wet eyelids” effect was used only for professional shooting of models, as an option for non-standard makeup. This summer they are actively being introduced into everyday life. Many new make-up products have appeared on the market, which help to achieve such an effect.

In addition to them, you can use more familiar cosmetics:

Lip balm... A mild stick-shaped balm will do, which will create a slightly shiny finish without the lid being sticky. There will be a feeling of a light moisturizer on the skin, and it will look like a wet film.
Lip gloss... It is not easy for them to create a coating that would not stick on the eyelids. However, it is this element of decorative cosmetics that creates the glossy shine that is so fashionable now. To make the coating on the eyelids less viscous, apply it in a thin layer and hammer in with your fingertips. Also, when applying, avoid the area of the crease of the eyelid. If the shine gets there, it will roll off and create discomfort. Alternatively, you can apply glitter to the area under the eyebrow. There he will definitely not cause any inconvenience. In this case, it is imperative to collect the hair into a hairstyle so that the strands do not stick to the painted areas.
Eyeliner... It is a special product that allows you to achieve a fashionable effect. Many cosmetic companies have released their own line of such varnishes. They can be either transparent for daytime make-up or black for evening make-up.

Let's consider a variant of the simplest eye makeup with the effect of "wet eyelids":

Apply a light makeup base to smooth out skin imperfections. Use a concealer if necessary.
Apply a primer to the eyelid.
On top of the primer is a layer of pastel shadows. They can be shimmer or matte. If you have chosen the option of shiny shadows, then the particles in them should be as small as possible.
On top of the shadows, apply a layer of glossy shine. Thoroughly blend it over the eyelid, avoiding creases.
Glossy gloss on lips of a similar shade will perfectly complement such makeup.

It should be borne in mind that such makeup, unfortunately, will not last long. This is an option for photo shoots or short walks in not very hot weather.

Light daytime summer makeup

Optimal makeup for a hot summer day - nude style. It should look so natural that people around you may wonder if you are wearing makeup. This way you will emphasize natural beauty, and it will be you who will attract attention, not your make-up.

You should not be frivolous about this type of make-up, believing that it is enough to apply an even tone and make up your eyelashes. It is believed that it is more difficult to achieve naturalness in makeup than to make a bright image.

Consider the main stages of creating nude makeup:

We start with preparing the skin of the face - we cleanse, tone and moisturize it.
Even out the skin tone. For this we use cosmetics with the lightest and most weightless texture. This is the basic rule of summer make-up.
We emphasize some areas of the face with a reflective primer. This is a transparent product that will light up your epidermis a little.
We put in a light foundation (for example, a cushion). We carry out a thorough shading so that there are no borders and transitions. Ideally, your face should look as natural as possible.
If you have a rash on your skin, dark circles under the eyes and other defects, use concealer to conceal. For under-eye circles, you can use a reflective product.
On the highest point of the cheeks, put a little peach-colored cream blush.
We fix the tone. To do this, we use a light finishing powder, which will give the skin an extra radiance.
Shaping the eyebrows. They should not stand out too brightly on the face. It is enough to comb them upwards. You can fix the shape with a transparent fixing gel. If the eyebrows require correction, we use shadows to match the hair.
Lighten the area under the eyebrow with a highlighter.
On the upper eyelid, apply a small drop of the cream blush that was used on the cheeks, and carefully blend them. On the crease of the upper eyelid, apply some taupe (gray-brown) shadows. Shade the lower eyelid with the same color.
Draw a barely noticeable line along the line of eyelash growth with a brown soft pencil. We shade it carefully so that there is no obvious arrow.
Cover the eyelashes with brown mascara.
Apply a colorless gloss or balm with shining particles to the lips.

This is a simple and versatile nude makeup that will suit any eye shade and clothing.

Summer evening makeup

By far the most fashionable evening make-up this summer is the metallic make-up. If during the day you can only add shine to certain areas of the face with the help of a highlighter, then in the evening you can use more shine and shimmer. Shimmery particles can be added to eyelids, cheeks, lips.

Consider step by step instructions how to make such a make-up:

We start by thoroughly cleansing the skin with milk, micellar water or tonic.
Apply a moisturizer and a base with reflective particles.
If necessary, use a foundation with a light texture. It should be water based. In summer, it is not recommended to use heavy silicone-based products.
On the apples of the cheeks, apply a little creamy blush with reflective particles.
Accentuate the shape of the eyebrows using eye shadow or a soft pencil. Make sure that there are no clear lines when doing this.
We take a dry pigment of a metallic shade and mix it with a primer serum. Thus, a mixture of a pliable consistency should be obtained, convenient for application to the movable part of the eyelid. Thoroughly blend the borders after application.
If you do not have dry pigments, you can use shimmery eyeshadow in metallic shades.
If desired, draw a clear arrow along the line of eyelash growth.
We paint the eyelashes with black mascara.
Outline the lip line using a soft pencil. Apply a lipstick with reflective particles with a brush. You can also use lip gloss.
To enhance the effect - apply a little highlighter in the center lower lip and over the top. Shade it thoroughly.

How to do summer makeup by eye color

There are many versatile types of makeup to suit women with any eye color. However, the make-up that is selected in accordance with the color type looks best. It favorably emphasizes the features of appearance and hides flaws.

Summer makeup for blue eyes

Light Blue eyes as a rule, they "don't like" too dark shadows. The optimal colors for them are shades of gray, pearl, lavender, light brown, nude. Do not use too thick arrows and coal-black colors in the make-up of the eyes.

Let's take a look at the step-by-step instructions for applying daytime smokey ice makeup for blue eyes:

We cleanse the skin and apply a light foundation.
Apply and shade well dry blush of a gentle peach shade.
We outline the shape of the eyebrows using shadows to match the hair tone.
We emphasize the inner corner of the eye with satin shadows of a light pearl shade. Apply the same color to the area under the eyebrow.
For the central part of the upper eyelid, a medium shade of shadows is intended, which acts as an intermediate one.
Cover the outer corner of the eye with shadows of a dark shade. Dark gray, brown are ideal. We do the same with the area along the lash line.
We carefully shade all borders and transition lines.
We paint the eyelashes with mascara, preferring black or dark brown.
We emphasize the lips with light coral gloss or lipstick of a loose texture.

If you want to use smoky ice for an evening out, then choose a shade of shadows darker.

For green eyes in the new summer season, makeup artists suggest actively using all shades of emerald. This color will perfectly emphasize the depth of green eyes, make them more expressive.

Consider an example of bright summer makeup for green eyes:

We clean and moisturize the skin.
Apply tone, blush and highlighter if desired.
On the moving part of the eyelid, apply shadows that have a pastel brownish tint.
Outline the top of the fold with darker shadows. Feather the borders of the transitions.
With a soft pencil that has green color, we draw a line along the lower eyelid. We bring the tip outward beyond the outer corner of the eye.
Put light pearl shadows under the eyebrow.
We put a golden shimmer on the movable eyelid.
Using a black pencil or liquid eyeliner, draw a thin arrow along the upper eyelid.
Using a black pencil, draw an arrow along the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid.
We paint the eyelashes with black mascara.
Lips can be painted with peach or golden lipstick.

Summer makeup for brown eyes

This summer, brown-eyed beauties can safely use oriental-style makeup for an evening out. It gives mystery and depth to the look.

Let's see how to do it step by step:

Using a base and foundation, which has a light texture, smooth the skin.
We clearly draw the eyebrow. It should be carefully filled with a suitable shade of eyeshadow or powder pencil.
We treat the area under the eyes with concealer to hide any defects.
Covering the eyelid tonal basis or a special base.
Using a black pencil, draw an arrow that starts from the iris of the eye and extends to the outer corner of the eye with a slightly upward direction.
Shade the arrow towards the temple.
Put dark shadows along the line of the arrow and shade them just as carefully.
Apply basic pastel shadows to the inner corner of the eye and under the eyebrow.
Take the golden shadows and apply them in the same place where the pastels were just applied. We carefully extinguish all boundaries.
The inner corner of the eye is additionally lightened with light shadows to make this area "clean".
Deepen the row of eyelashes by drawing a clear black arrow. To make it brighter, draw the corner closer to the outer corner towards the tip of the eyebrow.
We draw an eyeliner arrow along the lower eyelid. It should start from the iris of the eye. In doing so, pay attention to the indentation from the arrow along the upper eyelid. But we follow the direction.
To emphasize the lower eyelid, take dark shadows (outer corner) and golden (inner).
It is recommended to paint over the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid with a black pencil.
For eyelashes, use black mascara. You can stick on artificial bundles.
We paint our lips with any lipstick of a pastel shade.

Gray eyes look most advantageous with shades of cold shades. This summer, feel free to opt for baked eyeshadow, with shimmers and glitters to accentuate the cold depth of your eyes.

Consider a summer makeup option for gray eyes:

We cleanse the skin, moisturize it and apply a foundation.
Lightly powder the face with reflective powder.
Put some peach blush on the apples of your cheeks.
Accentuate the brows with shadows or a soft pencil that needs to be shaded.
Apply a light base to the upper eyelid.
On top of the folds on the upper eyelid, apply shadows that have a light brown tint.
Put purple shadows on the outer corner of the eye. Brush out the color towards the crease.
Apply light purple eyeshadow for the rest of the upper eyelid to hide all the transitions and make the borders smooth.
We put some pearl shadows in the inner corner of the eye to visually enlarge the eye, open it.
On the lower eyelid, apply some dark purple shadows, combine them with the shadows on the upper eyelid, namely in the outer corner of the eye.
We paint the eyelashes with dark mascara.
Lips are emphasized with a cool coral lipstick.

Summer makeup this year gives space for stylish women to fantasize. It is recommended to use bright, shiny colors, to emphasize the natural shine and radiance of the skin with a highlighter and foundation with reflective particles. Custom shades in makeup are also welcome.

- the only tool that needs to be applied in a thick layer in summer, try to use everything else to a minimum. What are the rules of makeup to adhere to in the summer? Memorize the main ones.

Summer makeup rules

Minimum makeup

It doesn't matter if you are walking around town or spending time on the beach, skip the base application step and give your full attention to concealer. They can, firstly, disguise under-eye circles, redness or imperfections of the skin, and secondly, not worry about the fact that the tone will flow under the rays of the sun. Look for products with a dense texture and apply with your fingers - this will help your makeup last longer.

Try a tinted moisturizer

Uncomfortable going out without makeup? Try a tinted moisturizer. It will even out skin tone, add radiance and not create a mask effect. Choose formulas with reflective particles - they not only brighten the skin, but also form a thin, weightless layer.

Be careful with glitter

To add radiance to summer makeup, use a liquid highlighter. Apply a little on the top of the cheekbones, along the brow line and on the bridge of the nose. But do not highlight the tip of the nose with a highlighter - otherwise, the delicate glow can turn into an oily sheen.

Use multifunctional tools

For example, a tint for lips and cheeks. Test the product first on the lips, and if it can withstand both light snacks and a full meal, then it will last just as long on the cheeks.

Mascara must be durable

Waterproof mascara is the easiest option for the summer, but it's best not to use it every day, especially if you have one. The way out for you can be a beauty trick that makeup artists advise to use for those who irritate with waterproof mascara. Use colorless mascara on the lower lashes, and colorless and then black on the upper lashes to set the color and make the makeup more durable. And do not forget about such a segment of cosmetics as colored mascara: when, if not in summer?

Focus on the eyes

Summer is the time to choose eye shadows that grab attention, such as bronze or rose gold. Hint smoky ice and blend it all over the eyelid, choose shades with shimmer, and textures - cream. The same shadows are suitable for evening make-up for the summer.

Don't forget about lipstick

Choose tinted lip glosses or tints, preferably with SPF protection. And apply your favorite lipstick, preferably with a high pigment content, in a special way. Use your fingertips to rub in the pigment, blot with a napkin, and repeat until you achieve the desired richness.

Makeup preparation and tone

Start any makeup with cleansing - for example, a tonic is suitable. For a lightweight finish, use a sponge to apply a tinted cream to your face and blend. Add concealer under the eyes and blend it with patting movements as well.

Face correction

Sculpt your face: apply a cream blush on the "apples" of your cheeks, darken the under-cheek area a little with the help of a sculptor.

Eye makeup

Lip makeup

Make up lips with a long-lasting matte lipstick bright shade - coral or red.

More Summer Makeup Ideas

Take on six more makeup ideas that won't surprise you on a hot summer day.

Second day eyeliner

This make-up was chosen to show the spring-summer collections of Cloe, Alberta Ferretti and Francesco Scognamiglio. To repeat it, it is not necessary to skip the evening stage of makeup remover. Apply dark shadows and eyeliner in a translucent layer so that the makeup does not turn out to be heavy, and in the heat, if it starts to spread, do not correct - the effect will be exactly as the makeup artists intended.

It can be achieved, for example, with the help of lip gloss (three makeup options with the effect of wet eyelids - in ours). Apply the glitter with a synthetic brush or fingers to the entire surface of clean eyelids. Fix the result with waterproof mascara.

Choose shimmery textures and shades with a peach or pink undertone, and apply bronzer where the sun's rays fall: on the bridge of the nose, temporal zone and under the cheekbones. Blush or bronzer applied in this way creates the effect of a healthy, "childish" blush. If you do not have a shimmery bronzer, use a matte finish: it will take on the desired look under the influence of temperature.

Gothic eyeliner

To get this kind of makeup, remember the technique used by the models. Line your eyes with the liner and then shower - the effect you get cannot be achieved by brushing or using your fingers. The eyeliner will "float" a little, but the excess can be easily removed with a cotton swab. Thanks to this method, you do not have to try to create a "blurry" effect - the desired result can be achieved without any extra effort.

Want to get the smoky ice they look like over the course of a long evening? Memorize the sequence of actions. Apply shimmery shadows on the upper and lower eyelids, supplement the makeup with brown or black, paint over the eyelashes with mascara and go outside - under the influence of the temperature, the smokey ice will become exactly as it should be.

Kissed by the sun

Left your lipstick in the car or in the sun? This is not a reason to be upset. To keep the product from wasting, create a vibrant eye makeup: apply red or coral lipstick as eyeshadow and blend over the moving lid and crease.
