It’s officially the time of the year when you ditch layers of makeup to bring in a fresher, brighter look for the season. As you make basic swaps in your makeup bag and pull out your illuminators, coral blushes, and lip glosses, Vidhi Arya from Professional Beauty India brings you the summer makeup trends that you need to try soon.
The makeup dictate for the summer is clear: this season, makeup is all about enhancing the natural beauty we hold. The memorandum has skipped thick bases and heavy contours. And, now, enhancing one’s natural, unique features is on the agenda. As people are now reclaiming their beauty, the summer makeup trends for this year are all about light, glowing, and vibrant elements. Here is everything trending that you must try soon:
Glossy Lips
Glossy lips have made a thundering comeback this year. A look that was widely celebrated in the early 2000s is loved all over again. We have all moved on from matte shades and dewy glosses, sheer or coloured are being embraced. Several brands, Indian and international, have launched a wide range of glosses to choose from. You can either wear a gloss by itself for a natural look or top it on lipstick for a more popping look.
Pigmented Blush
This year, one unmissable summer makeup look is light yet popping shades of corals or peaches as a blush. This looks pretty natural and also adds much-needed freshness during this harsh season. You can skip the commonplace reds and pinks, and try out peach and coral. Apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks, and a bit on your nose, and blend it in a way that your face shape is accentuated. For this look, it’s best recommended to keep all other elements muted. Opt for a nice gloss, a thick coat of mascara, and voila! You’re good to go.
Brushed-up Brows
The internet has bid adieu to the days of thin eyebrows. What’s trending now is fuller, bushy eyebrows, brushed up. You can use brow gels, powders, or pomades to achieve a thick, fluffy brow that looks naturally full. The trick is to brush the brow outwards and upwards to create a lifted appearance.
Dewy Glass Skin
A dewy skin is evergreen, but this summer, it’s trending and how! People are looking forward to achieving skin that looks well-hydrated, dewy, and pearly. To achieve such skin, you first and foremost need to invest in a good skincare regime. Skin that’s healthy will automatically shine and glow. Other than that, for makeup, you can opt for a nice illuminator or a hydrating foundation. If you want to step out sans makeup, the trick is to use a hydrating moisturiser and a serum for an undeniable glow.
Blurry Muted Lips
This trend ditches the dark and bold lips colours as well as glosses. The aim is to achieve lips that look well-tinted but natural. Achieving this look is fairly simple. You can use a light lip tint and smudge it on your lips to achieve a muted look. Or, you can take your lipstick, and smudge it onto your lips with your fingers. Do not apply it directly from the tube because we don’t want a sharp, bold colour. Try to use matte and powdery formulations for a more natural look.
Iridescent Makeup
The holographic, metallic shades are a huge hit this summer. Adding these colours to your lips, cheeks, or eyes can help you stand out and be in vogue. To follow this trend, you can opt for popping metallic eyeshadows or colourful highlighters. You can even play around with shimmer on your lips if experimentation is what you like.
