Blue Curacao

Sea notes are an eternal summer trend. The blueness of the eyes is enhanced with eyeliner. In most cases, the eye color is emphasized by the opposite shade of eye shadow. In summer makeup, you can deviate from this rule by using cobalt, turquoise, azure, indigo and other shades for blue eyes, steel for gray eyes, citrus, emerald for green, rich chocolate or coffee for brown eyes.

The taboo is to never use solid color options. For example, if the inner eyelid was lined with blue, the shadows were applied with turquoise, then you need to go further into an even more saturated color. Otherwise, you will get an uninteresting, ugly, unaesthetic bruise. There should be a play of colors: blue turns into turquoise, turquoise into blue, etc. On the eyelashes - dark purple, dark blue, maybe black. Eyebrows, blush and lips are neutral.

Wild strawberry

Fashionable summer makeup is freshness, lightness, transparency, play of colors and textures. The skin glows with a soft natural glow. Too matte and dense textures look a little heavy in the spring-summer period. The skin should breathe, look rested and fresh, so the lightest foundations - fluids - are used in makeup.

The fluid contains a lot of moisture and oil, perfectly evens out the complexion and remains almost invisible on the skin. Well-tinted eyelashes and small accents on the eyes, eyelids, cheeks and in the form of gloss on the lips will give the image lightness, freshness and elusive charm.

Fruity shades

The key summer trend is delicious fruity shades in makeup, such as raspberry, strawberry, peach, juicy mango and bright citruses. The combination of juicy berry shades on the lips and, due to the summer heat, fresh cool shades on the eyelids looks very beautiful.

For example, the lips look like juicy raspberries, on the eyelids there is an abundance of emerald, which turns into blue, lavender, turquoise and then pink. The shading is very fine both in application and color transfer. All shades should literally blend into the skin. Colored mascara on the upper eyelashes and black on the lower eyelashes will complement the look. Great idea for an outdoor cocktail party.

Chocolate ice cream

Makeup in chocolate tones is a trendy, stylish, effective solution for summer makeup. The skin remains matte, but a loose foundation is used. The eyes look non-aggressive due to shading. The whole difference is in the pressure of the brush: the more you press the brush, the denser the color turns out.

For summer, don't overload your face with makeup. Textures should be light and transparent. By heavily making up your face with a tone or your eyes with a color, you can get the effect of a mask that does not correspond to the very nature of summer with flying translucent fabrics, gentle touches of the sun, and refreshing gusts of breeze.
