Do you like to stay ahead of the crowd and present yourself to the world only in tune with the latest fashion trends? While you may not be able to buy the top of the line, just-hit-the-shelf clothing, you can keep up with the makeup trends. This summer is about contradictory makeup trends. You can stylize your look like a glamor queen or adopt the girl next door look, and it all falls into the trendy category of this summer’s looks. So find your look and run with it this summer. It lasts only so long!

1. Eye:

The eye is a pivotal part of makeup. Naturally, a number of eye makeup trends have emerged this summer and they accommodate all styles and types of dresses.

Liquid Liner:

The liquid eyeliner and its bold stroke are in rage this year, both on the runway and off. The most striking look that has been noted in celebrities and fashion shows is the wing-tipped, precisely done cat eye. It requires a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it will transform any look in no time.

Splash Of Colors:

Color on the eye is another emerging and reigning trend this summer. You can incorporate color in the liner on upper lash line or both lash lines or even in the eyeshadow. If you ever wanted to put a dash of green or yellow or red on your eyelids, now is the time to do it in style.

Purple Shadow:

Purple shadow, or ‘purple haze’ as the trend is being called, has been endorsed by many models on the runways. You can apply it on your upper eyelid to be safe yet trendy. Or if you want to go all out, apply it below your lashes. It may look like a bad case of sleepless dark circles, but at least it is keeping up with the trends.

No-Makeup Makeup:

The girl next door look, or the deliberate plain look may not be your cup of tea, but it is very practical for the summer weather. The eye component of this look consists of a dab of concealer followed by a light coat of light brown or barely-there pink on these lids. Use eyeliner to trace a tight line on the lashes or simply apply kohl on your lash lines.

Smokey Browns:

Smokey eyes will always be trendy. For an evening party, you cannot pair your little black dress or your gorgeous red dress with a plain, kohl lined eye. Go all out with metallic, smokey eyes. You can also wear a toned down version of smokey eyes during the day to get a ‘partied all night’ look.

2. Lips:

Lips make a statement. Let your lips make one that is trendy and comfortable for the summer weather. You can simply skip the lipstick this summer and opt for lip butter or a tinted lip balm for the casual, no-makeup look. To make your lipstick stay longer, try covering your lips with liner before applying lipstick.

Color Me Red:

Red lipstick is another timeless classic that you just cannot do away with. Buy a shade of red that complements your skin. You can wear a warm red or a more pinkish red, depending on your dress or time of the day. You can also wear sheer red lipstick during the day.

Light Blue:

With the barely-there makeup trend, the light blue lipstick is quite popular. To enhance the blue, try to add a touch of blue shadow on your eyes or nails. Similarly, lilac is another cool color this summer.

Rose:

A shimmery rose colored lipstick is perfect for minimal makeup. It does not overwhelm, but does add a bit of shine to the otherwise plain look. Rose is a loose term, and you can choose as dark or as light a color you want. You can pair a doe-eyed look with a light pink shaded lipstick

Peach:

Want to enhance your tanned looks? Peach is the color for this purpose. Also, it is such an unobtrusive color that you can literally wear it on your lips, nails and eyelids and look great.

3. Cheeks:

With various makeup trends making a difference in the way people look, cheek makeup cannot be forgotten. If you do not pay attention to your cheeks, you may end up looking washed out or too plain.

Bronze:

Bronzer is a great way to enhance your facial structure. It also adds a warm glow to your skin. If you haven’t managed to acquire a gorgeous tan, bronzer is the quick sure-fire way to ensure you look summer appropriate. Also, if you are working the no-makeup look, a touch of bronzer is necessary. With the plain eyes, nude lips, you may end up looking quite plain unless you brush a bit of bronzer or rosy blush on your cheeks.

Rise And Shine:

Complete your look with a shine or mineral makeup sealer. This not only keeps your makeup in place and prevents smudging, but also adds a dewiness to your whole look. However, be subtle with it. You don’t want to look like you have glitter on your face.

4. Nails:

Nail colors are not exactly part of the makeup, but they enhance your look. Besides, there is no bigger eyesore than nail colors that clash with your makeup.

Metallic Nail Colors:

Metallic colors are in trend this summer. This means you can wear gold or silver nail polish. But these are more suitable for dressy occasions where the rest of your makeup is quite elaborate. During the day, you can wear muted nail colors with pearly shimmer in them.

Nude:

For any other occasion, try nude colors. You can match your nail color with peach, rose or baby blue lipstick.

Apart from that, feminine hairstyles are also in trend. You can try a messy bun or a vintage barrel roll with your no-makeup look. For evening wear, try a chignon with delicate flowers or tasteful hair accessories.

With these cool summer makeup tips, you too can step out looking confident and in control, while you leave onlookers spellbound!
