It is the beginning of May and summer is rapidly approaching. Summer 2024 makeup is all about embracing a healthy glow and celebrating vibrant colors. We're moving away from the heavy, full-coverage looks of the past and towards a more natural, effortless aesthetic. So lets look at what it takes to have the softer sun-kissed skin for summer.
This summer season is all about a dewy, bronzed complexion that evokes a day spent at the beach. Forget the heavy foundation and choose a lightweight tinted moisturizers or BB creams. Cream blushes in warm apricot, tawny brown, and peachy orange shades will give your cheeks a natural flush.
As far as lips, matte lips take a backseat this summer. Those shiny, glossy lips are back in a big way, adding a touch of glamour and dimension to your look. Tinted lip glosses with a hint of color are perfect for everyday wear, while bolder shades like cherry red or watermelon pink can add a touch of drama for evening or to complete that look. To get that softer, more diffused look, try the blurred lip technique. Apply lipstick to the center of your lips, blending the edges with a brush or your fingers. This creates a gradient effect that's both effortless and chic.
Green eyeshadow is back and is a surprisingly wearable trend for summer 2024. Opt for shades that complement your skin tone – light mint or pistachio for lighter complexions, and emerald or forest green for deeper tones. Apply a sheer wash of color across your lids, or create a smoky eye for a more dramatic look. In addition, if you're looking for a way to add a pop of color to your look, try using colored eyeliner instead of black. Cobalt blue, emerald green, or even lavender are all on-trend this summer. Apply a thin line along your upper lash line for a subtle touch of color, or go bolder with a thicker line or a cat-eye flick.
To complete the look forget the heavily sculpted brows of the past. This summer, it's all about natural, fluffy brows. Brush your brows up with a spoolie and fill in any sparse areas with a brow pencil that matches your natural hair color.
To achieve these summer trends, here are a few key products to add to your makeup bag:
- Tinted moisturizer or BB cream
- Cream blush in a warm shade
- Glossy lip gloss
- Lipsticks in various shades, including nudes, pinks, and reds
- Eyeshadow palette with green shades
- Colored eyeliner pencils
- Brow gel or pencil
With these trends and tips in mind, you can create a variety of summer makeup looks that are both fresh and flattering. So,have fun experimenting and embrace the sunny vibes of the season! Let me know what you think, I'd love to hear. Have a great day.
