5 Makeup Tips for the Best Summer Look
Summer is a season of sun-kissed skin and a healthy glow. Your goal is a fresh, no-makeup appearance, a healthy, natural look with just a splash of vibrant and bold color, especially on the eyes.
1. Face/Foundation
Make your skin seem flawless, smooth, and absolutely perfect. Use a smart foundation; make sure to buy a tinted moisturizer with SPF protection.
In the summer, less is more, you don't want to look heavily made up.
Blend outward from your nose for a continuous finish. These moisturizers are great for any skin type and provide enough coverage for the average woman.

2. Eye Makeup
Make your eyes sparkle; make them speak volumes with a stroke of a brush. Be daring with bright blues, mesmerizing greens, sassy purples, playful teals and yellows.
Yellow is sometimes scary for some, but actually it's quite gorgeous when used correctly.

Try to use a single shade to avoid a color catastrophe.
If those shades are too over-the-top, try a bright colored eyeliner in addition to your normal eye shadow.
3. Cheeks
High cheek bones create that svelte facial contour that every woman wants. So why not highlight them with sheer pinks, soft roses, subtle peaches and delicate apricots.
These are the best shades for a natural, active and summery makeup look. Apply them at the temple, in an upwards motion into the hairline; this sweeping application gives you a youthful appearance.
4. Lips
The summer's hottest makeup color for lips is ruby red, the classic sexy and the always current.
If the red is too dramatic, then go glossy, a slight, dewy shine works best.

5. At the very least, here are the top 3 ways for a great summer makeup look:
a. Metallic eye-shadows are still hot, use silver, gold, bronze, and mauve.
b. Use easy to apply-at-home eyelash (falsies) strips to augment your eyes.
c. Use fashionable nail color, vibrant pinks and super chic purples are going to be this season's artistic explosion of neon.
Just follow some of the tips mentioned above and you will have a great makeup look this summer!
