Summer's best makeup comes in all shades of the rainbow.
Summertime is here, which means it's time to bring out the flip-flops and reintroduce bright colors into your life. Vibrant makeup is definitely a trend this season as seen on a few runways and on some of our favorite celebrities, including our July 2019 cover star Ashley Graham, who shows us how wear beautiful, bold, blue eye shadow.
Whether it's a vivid orange lip or neon-green eye shadow, incorporating color into your makeup this summer doesn't have to be complicated. Use any of these six tips to brighten up your summer makeup.
Seeing Red
Red lipstick is a beauty staple, but one crimson shade is as cool as it was sexy: rich, brick red. Keep the rest of your face clean: a little mascara, defined brows, and you're done.
Orange Crush
Give your smoky eyes a tropical makeover by using warm, orange shadow, diffused from lash lines to brows. “Choose a slightly muted, matte tangerine or coral so it’s a little watercolor-y,” says makeup artist Fiona Stiles. She likes staying in the same color family on the rest of the face — it gives you the kind of all-over glow you’d get from a beachside sunset.
Yellow Glitter
Blinged-out, yellow-gold shadow is a fresh (and, OK, kinda extra) way to brighten up your eyes. Do justice to the disco-inspired trend with big flecks of glitter, densely layered over a neutral cream shadow. That base won’t just help set off the sparkle, it’ll also keep it from flaking onto your cheeks or, worse, eyeballs.
Green Light
Metallic, emerald-green liner and matching mascara make brown eyes glow amber. To get the most vibrant payoff on your lashes, prep them with a white mascara primer. Next, paint them using a clean spoolie brush dipped in a shimmering green cream shadow, says Kaneko. For eye-opening definition, break up the matchy liner and mascara combo with black liquid liner traced along your waterlines.
Baby blue
“When you’re playing with pale-blue eye shadow, try applying it with your fingers,” says makeup artist Daniel Martin.
Violet Lips
Day-Glo purple lipstick is easier to pull off than you’d think: “Keep your skin really radiant with highlighter and your eyes nude so your lips are the focus,” advises Martin. The lipstick formula itself should glow, too — this is not a matte moment.
You can continue to embrace purple by painting your nails a deeper berry version of the hue.
