Summer makeup. Subtleties

Monochrome is in trend this summer. You don't need a lot of makeup for a one-color daytime make-up. Eyes and lips can be made up with one neutral means of pink, brown or coral. For example, pigment or soft pencil. First, like Elena Krygina, we apply the product on the upper and lower eyelids, blend it, and then cover the lips with it. Next, we turn the same tool into a blush.

Glowing skin

Another summer trend is the maximum radiance of the skin like top model Bella Hadid. To create the effect of a radiant rested face, beauty bloggers advise using CC or BB creams. One of them is applying concealer under the eyes. After this stage, with a highlighter or an illuminating makeup base, you need to highlight the cheekbones, nose and forehead and a checkmark above the upper lip. The T-zone is better to matte a little. At the end, it is desirable to add a bronzer - to correct the face and make it more tanned. If you want to get a nose like Bella Hadid, follow the recommendations in the video.

Makeup without makeup

The main fashion trend of summer 2019 is maximum naturalness. In the next video, the blogger teaches how to make an almost imperceptible and yet perfect makeup. This option is ideal for women over 40. First you need to shade the foundation, not forgetting the neck and décolleté area. Lighten the circles under the eyes with a light concealer.

We apply a dry shimmer for shimmering on the temple area, and emphasize the eyebrows with a pencil. For the upper eyelids we use matte beige shadows, for the lower eyelids - a golden pencil. We darken the space between the eyelashes with shadows, tint the eyelashes and add blush. We line the lips with a light pink pencil.

tanned face effect

To create an effect like that of Victoria's Secret angels, we mix a dark foundation with a makeup base so that it lies more evenly. After that, we use a concealer and correct the oval of the face.

We make classic powder eyebrows with a pencil. We apply light shadows to the inner corner of the eye, then a little darker and the darkest to the outer corner of the eye. The eyelids from above are slightly summed up with a pencil. Use highlighter and bronzer. It is better to make up the lips with a neutral light lipstick so that it contrasts with a tanned face.

classic arrows

Arrows never go out of fashion, this summer is no exception. In fact, this is a very light daytime makeup. You can draw perfect arrows at least every morning if

- the only tool that needs to be applied in a thick layer in summer, try to use everything else to a minimum. What makeup rules to follow in the summer? Remember the main ones.

Summer makeup rules

Minimum makeup

Whether you're out on the town or spending time at the beach, skip the base step and focus on concealer. They can, firstly, mask circles under the eyes, redness or imperfections of the skin, and secondly, do not worry that the tone will flow under the rays of the sun. Choose products with a dense texture and apply with your fingers - this way the makeup will last longer.

Try a tinted moisturizer

Feeling uncomfortable going out without makeup? Try a tinted moisturizer. It will even out skin tone, add radiance and not create a mask effect. Choose formulas with light-reflecting particles - they will not only illuminate the skin, but also form a thin, weightless layer.

Be careful with glitter

To add some radiance to your summer make-up, use a liquid highlighter. Apply a little on the top of the cheekbones, along the line of the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose. But do not highlight the tip of the nose with a highlighter - otherwise, the delicate glow can turn into a greasy shine.

Use multifunctional tools

For example, tint for lips and cheeks. Test the product first on the lips, and if it can withstand both light snacks and a full meal, then it will last just as long on the cheeks.

Mascara must be resistant

Waterproof mascara is the easiest option for summer, but it's best not to use it every day, especially if you have. The way out for you can be a beauty trick that makeup artists advise to use for those who are irritated by waterproof mascara. Paint the lower lashes with clear mascara and the upper lashes with clear mascara and then black to set the color and make the makeup last longer. And do not forget about such a segment of cosmetics as colored mascara: when, if not in the summer?

Focus on the eyes

Summer is the time to choose eyeshadows that grab attention, like bronze or rose gold. Make a hint of smoky eyes and blend them all over the eyelid, choose shades with shimmer, and textures - cream. The same shadows are suitable for evening makeup for the summer.

Don't forget lipstick

Choose tinted lip glosses or tints, preferably with SPF protection. And your favorite lipstick, better - with a high content of pigment, apply in a special way. Drive in the pigment with your fingertips, blot with a napkin and repeat these steps until you achieve the desired saturation.

More summer makeup ideas

Check out six more makeup ideas that won't surprise you on a hot summer day.

Eyeliner "second day"

This make-up was chosen to show the spring-summer collections of Cloe, Alberta Ferretti and Francesco Scognamiglio. To repeat it, it is not necessary to skip the evening stage of make-up removal. Apply dark shadows and eyeliner in a translucent layer so that the makeup does not turn out to be heavy, and in the heat, if it starts to spread, do not correct it - the effect will turn out exactly as the makeup artists intended.

It can be achieved, for example, with lip gloss (three makeup options with the effect of wet eyelids are in ours). Apply gloss with a synthetic brush or fingers to the entire surface of clean eyelids. Fix the result with waterproof mascara.

Stella Jean © fotoimedia/imaxtree

Choose shimmery textures and shades with peach or pink undertones, and apply bronzer where the sun's rays fall: on the bridge of the nose, the temporal zone and under the cheekbones. Blush or bronzer applied in this way creates the effect of a healthy, "childish" blush. If you don’t have a bronzer with a shimmery texture, use a matte one: with the influence of temperature, it will take on the desired look.

Gothic eyeliner

To get this makeup, remember the technique that models use. Line your eyes with a liner and then take a shower - the effect you get cannot be achieved by applying the product with a brush or fingers. The eyeliner will “float” a little, but the excess can be easily removed with a cotton swab. Thanks to this method, you do not have to try to create a "blurry" effect - the desired result can be achieved without any extra effort.

Want to get those smoky ices that they become over a long evening? Remember the sequence of actions. Apply shimmer shadows on the upper and lower eyelids, complement your makeup with brown or black, paint over your eyelashes with mascara and go outside - under the influence of temperature, smoky ice will become exactly as it should be.

kissed by the sun

Left your lipstick in the car or in the sun? This is not a reason to be upset. To keep the product from falling out, create a bright eye makeup: apply red or coral lipstick as shadows and blend over the moving eyelid and in the crease.

Summer. The time when you especially want to look beautiful and fresh. The time when you want to throw off warm and bulky clothes along with a thick layer of makeup on your face. But how then to look beautiful and spectacular without it? There is a special summer version of makeup for this. Light, airy, and most importantly, inconspicuous summer makeup will always make you beautiful and natural. At the same time, no one will guess that this is cosmetics. In order to apply beautiful summer makeup, you need to choose the right cosmetics:

  1. Tone cream. A water-based foundation works best. Its structure is light, it is well absorbed into the skin, while it does not clog pores and does not flow. You need to select the tone, taking into account the color of the tan on the face.
  2. Powder. We choose the color of the powder so that it matches the color of the tonal foundation. Considering that excess sebum appears on the face in the summer, it is best to choose a large, loose powder. This will fix the summer makeup and give the skin a healthy, velvety look.
  3. Pencil and shadows. The pencil is used when you have thin eyebrows. If you have thick eyebrows, it is better to use shadows. We select the color of the pencil or shadows according to the color of the hair, it can be one tone darker.
  4. Blush. Recommended compact, dry consistency, preferably matte color. This will avoid oily sheen, especially in the cheeks and forehead.
  5. Ink. Selected for water resistance. For daytime summer makeup, brown mascara is suitable, and for evening, color or black.
  6. Pomade. In the daytime, it is best to use gentle, natural shades of lipstick with a moisturizing, hygienic effect.

Now, after we have decided on the choice of cosmetics for summer makeup, you can proceed directly to the makeup itself. It is only important to follow all the step-by-step steps and rules for skin care and applying makeup.

How to do summer makeup? Step by step application technique.

Stage 1st. Moisturizing and cleansing the skin

First of all, the skin must breathe and have a fresh and healthy look, that is, it must first be cleaned and moisturized. For this procedure, you need to stock up on gels and lotions based on alkaline elements. Alkali will easily open the pores of the face and remove the remnants of previous makeup. Peeling products will also help you normalize the skin and get rid of excess accumulated fluid in the pores. This procedure will not take you much time and effort. It is applied 1-2 times a week.

If you do not have enough money and time to purchase all this cosmetics in the store, then you can cook it at home. The recipes for its preparation are very simple, and the effectiveness is 100 percent. It is enough to nourish your skin once a week with a mask of fermented milk products, vegetables or a mixture of eggs and lemon. In the morning, wash your face with infusion of chamomile, rose hips, parsley and other herbs.

Stage 2. Base for summer makeup

The main functions of the tonal foundation are to protect the skin of the face from external environmental influences, if in winter it is protection from frost, then in summer it is from ultraviolet rays. When choosing a foundation in the store, keep in mind that in the first months of the summer season it is recommended to use a cream with the highest S P F value. But after a few days you can change to a foundation with a lower UV exposure. By doing this, we achieve that the shade of the foundation matches the color of your skin, as it darkens from the sun's rays. To avoid oily sheen on the face, apply a thin layer of loose powder. It has a light texture and won't clog pores on hot days.

Stage 3. Eyes in summer makeup

You will be pleasantly surprised, but in the summer season of 2014, all cosmetologists advise to pay attention to oily and liquid shadow-pencils. They explain this by saying that dry shadows are easily washed off with water, so going to the pool or to the beach will not suit you. On the other hand, when there is no contact with water, you can safely use shadow pencils. If you describe summer eye makeup step by step and in more detail, it will look like this:

  1. Apply a basic stroke to the upper and lower eyelids. That is, we apply a primer.
  2. We collect a small amount of dark pigment on the eyeshadow brush and carefully darken the corners of the upper movable eyelid. With smooth movements, blend along the folds, achieving uniformity in the color scheme. In the same way, a small amount of dark pigment is applied to the lower eyelid.
  3. It's time for a lighter shade. We apply it with a flat eyeshadow brush on the upper eyelid, over the previously applied dark one, and then lightly in the brow area. Shade.
  4. We highlight the lower fixed eyelid with a white pencil.
  5. We draw an arrow with a black or colored pencil from the inner corner to the outer in the upper eyelid area.

Stage 4th. lips in summer

In the summer version of makeup, the main focus is on the lips. They should be bright and juicy, like a ripe cherry. Newfangled makeup artists are advised to look at lipsticks with a persistent moisturizing effect. Summer lipstick, as well as other cosmetics, should contain a protective layer from the scorching sun and wind. Otherwise, they will look cracked and unpresentable. The finishing touch of summer makeup will be a little shine. During the day it can be shades of natural color - peach, mother-of-pearl, slightly pink. Evening make-up for summer is a more saturated color.

Stage 5th. Brows

Against the general background, eyebrows should not stand out much, unless of course you are a resident of India. Let's say your eyebrows themselves are thick by nature, then you can slightly correct them, give them the desired shape with the help of shadows. Thin eyebrows will require some adjustment with a pencil. It is necessary to give them more volume and density. At the same time, avoid clear lines. Not brightly highlighted strokes imitate your hairs. Be sure to make sure that excess hairs do not stick out anywhere before applying makeup. Remove them regularly with tweezers.

Stage 6th. Eyelashes

Mascara is best to choose waterproof. Special, waterproof paint will protect your eyes and eyelashes from accidental contact with moisture or water. False eyelashes are very popular now. Of course, this is a convenient option for relaxation. At any time of the day or night, they look perfect, but keep in mind that when wet, they stick together and you risk losing them at the most piquant moment somewhere or at a party.

To choose the right cosmetics for the summer, you need to know some of the features of our skin's reaction to extreme heat and sun. During this period, the work of the sebaceous glands is activated, the skin becomes fatter.

Summer cosmetics should have certain protective properties to protect your skin:

  • from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays;
  • irritation and possible inflammation;
  • the appearance of acne and blackheads;
  • greasiness and oily sheen.

Other important factors to pay attention to when choosing cosmetics for makeup in the summer are water resistance and composition. If you are the owner of sensitive and delicate skin prone to allergic reactions, then it is better to give preference to mineral-based cosmetics. There are several reasons for this.

  • Its composition is extremely pure. Such cosmetics are made from minerals and natural pigments of inorganic origin.
  • It has a healing effect on the skin - it does not cause allergies, does not clog pores, fights the problem of wrinkles by relieving mimic tension, and promotes wound healing.
  • Perfectly masks all problem areas on the face, evens out skin tone, makes it more velvety.
  • Eye shadows, blush, primers, concealers and highlighters on a mineral basis lay down easily, do not roll or “spread” in the sun.

Summer makeup for different types of eyes: step by step instructions and photos

Skin preparation - cleansing and moisturizing

Any light summer make-up begins with the preparation of the skin - its cleansing and moisturizing. Pay more attention to the preparatory stage in the summer. The naturalness and naturalness of the image will depend on the health and purity of your skin.

You should wash your face with mousses, foams and gels that do not contain alcohol additives and have a light texture. Choose cleansers according to your skin type - for dry, normal, oily or sensitive and problematic.

Do not forget about hydration, especially around the eyes, because this area loses much more moisture in summer. Use creams or gels with a lightweight texture. If there are pimples or inflammation - mask them with special products, concealer or primer.

Secrets of summer light makeup

So, your skin is already prepared, it remains only to apply the selected cosmetics.

But first, we will give you some tips on what not to do:

  • Do not apply foundation on your face. Even if you have problem areas that you would like to mask, give preference to products such as concealer, proofreader, or foundation. The foundation clogs the pores, does not allow the skin to breathe. Such cosmetics in the summer, mixing with sweat and dust particles, can lead to inflammation and irritation. Concealer and primer do an excellent job of masking the function - they will hide bruises under the eyes that appeared from lack of sleep, wrinkles and pimples, age spots or small vessels. Pay attention to the tone of the corrector - it should match the color of your face or be a little lighter.
  • If you use powder, for a beautiful summer make-up, it is better to choose a loose mineral. It is easier to blend with a brush, it does not clog pores. Traditional, compact powder, more familiar to you, in the summer can dry and tighten the skin, emphasizing not only mimic, but also natural wrinkles.
  • Do not use liquid shadows - it is likely that in 30-degree heat they will simply spread, thereby spoiling the overall impression of your make-up. Opt for lightweight, mineral-based textures.
  • No matter how you hide your face in the summer under the brim of a Panama hat or a cap visor, it can still tan. Therefore, choose the tones of matting products with this factor in mind. For tanned skin, a foundation with yellow tints is more suitable, for lighter skin - with pink or a tone lighter.
  • Replace your lipstick with a light colorless gloss - it will give your look a feeling of tenderness and freshness.

Makeup for the summer largely depends on the color of the eyes. This factor is often the determining factor in choosing the color range of shadows, lipstick powder and gloss or foundation.

Makeup for green eyes

Owners of green eyes are well suited to various shades of brown and purple: the color of chocolate and lilac.

For a classic universal make-up, choose an image that will be based on golden and mother-of-pearl tones. We advise green lovers to choose more contrasting shades, they will highlight your eyes well.

Be careful with blues and pinks. It can be supplemented with eyeliner, which is easy to do on your own using a wet brush and mineral shades of bronze or milky white. All the recommendations listed above are also suitable for creating makeup for blue-green eyes.

Summer makeup for brown eyes

Brown-eyed ladies should have shades of pink and purple tones in their makeup bag. The main focus should be on the eyes - lightly make up them with mascara and apply eyeliner in a color that contrasts with the shadows. It is not recommended to use a pencil in the summer. It does not stand the test of temperature - it rolls and smears. Make eyeliner from the shadows of the desired shade - summer makeup for brown eyes will become much more expressive.

Summer makeup for gray eyes

Gray-eyed beauties in the choice of cosmetics and color palette should build on the characteristics of their skin type. For owners of fair skin, pale, muted shades of blue, purple pink and orange are suitable. For swarthy - warmer tones, mother-of-pearl, beige, golden, bronze. Do not use cream shadows - in summer they are poorly shaded and roll down under the influence of heat.

Summer makeup for gray-blue eyes, the photo of which you see in front of you, perfectly complements the shadows of golden and bronze tones with a metallic tint. This combination of colors will make your image unusual and creative, allowing you to stand out in the crowd.

Pay attention to restrictions. You should not paint your eyes with gray shades - they will become colder. Pink and orange colors can mislead people about your health. From the outside it may seem that you are sick, and your eyes are inflamed.

Summer light makeup for blue eyes

Blue-eyed beauties are lucky. A varied color palette suits their eye color - purple, mother-of-pearl, sand, bronze, blue and peach. In choosing a tone here, you should also focus on the type of skin. Blondes are great pink shadows for blue eyes - they harmonize well with a light undertone. Pink shadows, a variety of shades of which can be seen in the photo on the Internet, make the image more delicate and fresh.

Dilute green makeup for blue eyes with golden and brown hues, so the image will become more harmonious and attractive.

We tried to give you useful information on how to paint in the summer, what fashion trends this season to adopt. Believe me, the naturalness and simplicity of the image are the result of the most beautiful summer make-up.

It's no secret that each season should have its own type of makeup. A feature of the make-up in the warm season is naturalness and tenderness. But in order for it to turn out as natural as possible and, at the same time, emphasize external attractiveness, you need to follow a number of rules.

Rules for choosing summer cosmetics

In summer, due to the high temperature, cosmetics “flow”, so the face does not look aesthetically pleasing. For this reason, it is important to choose a lighter texture concealer and foundation so that they do not clog pores.

In addition, summer makeup involves protection from the aggressive effects of sunlight, so you need to pay attention to the presence of SPF factors.

An important property of summer cosmetics is water resistance, because smeared carcasses under the eyes and smeared lipstick have not made a single woman more beautiful. Instead of mascara, you can use a special vitamin gel that gives the cilia shape, nourishes and protects from the sun.

What cosmetics should be in the arsenal in the summer?

Before making a make-up, the skin must be cleansed. For the warm season, it is preferable to use products that do not contain alcohol for washing: gels, foams or mousses.

Due to exposure to the sun, the skin loses moisture, so it needs to be moisturized with special creams. This is especially true for the skin around the eyes.

In the summer, it is better to abandon foundation altogether, but if this is not possible, then you should opt for a light fluid with UV filters or use a concealer, thanks to which you can hide dark circles, vascular networks or pimples. The concealer pencil should be the same tone as your skin tone or a shade lighter.

For summer day makeup, it is better to use loose powder, which, due to its light structure, does not clog pores. Compact powder causes tightness and looks unnatural, besides, from the heat it gathers in mimic wrinkles, making the face look like a mask. Powders with mother-of-pearl and tanning effect look very beautiful, as they give the skin radiance. The powder should be applied all over the face with a wide brush, and then remove the excess with a powder puff.

To look as natural as possible, it is better to use a minimum amount of shadows, and it will look neater and more natural if the shadows are blended along the lash line and lightly applied above the outer corner of the eye. Liquid shadows are contraindicated in summer, as they will gather in folds, which will make the make-up look untidy and careless.

Lipstick is also best used with UV filters, as it will protect lips from chapping and dryness. Shades - natural: mother-of-pearl, peach, pale pink. In the evening, you can choose more saturated colors.

Makeup for brown eyes

Summer eye makeup should match their color. After all, what is suitable for brown eyes may be unacceptable for blue ones.

In order for the shadows to lie evenly on the eyelid, it is necessary to get rid of edema and swelling. Special gels or eye creams do an excellent job with this. Dark circles can be masked with a concealer.

When all the flaws are masked, you can start applying shadows. The determining factor is the shade of the eyes. For light brown eyes, blue and purple tones are perfect, and for dark brown eyes, pink shadows are perfect. A lighter tone can be applied to the lower eyelid.

Summer makeup for brown eyes is not complete without mascara and eyeliner. The color of the eyeliner depends on the color of the shadows. For example, purple eyeliner looks good with brown shadows, and purple eyeliner looks good with pink.

Carcass is better to take black. And to make eyelashes visually appear more fluffy, long and natural, they can be powdered a little.

Makeup for green eyes

Green eyes are very effective, so they need to be emphasized. Almost all shades of shadows are suitable for them. Brown is ideal for green-eyed beauties, especially chocolate, cinnamon and dark brown, as well as plum, lilac and purple.

To make a glamorous summer makeup for green eyes , you can use copper and gold shadows. The same shades are suitable for an evening make-up.

The classic version is beige shadows and black arrows.

Not all women with green eyes use green shadows, but in vain. If you use contrasting shades, you can shade the color of the eyes very well.

Green eyes are categorically not suitable for shades of blue and all its shades, silver, pink with a reddish undertone and purple. As for pink, you can try its cold shades, emphasizing the eyes with eyeliner.

Equally important is the color of the skin. For owners of fair skin and freckles, dark and shiny shadows are not suitable. It is better to opt for matte or shimmery light shades. If the skin is olive, then discard the blue and silver shadows.

If we talk about eyeliner and eyeliner, then green-eyed girls are more suitable for chocolate brown or dark gray metallic. And to make small eyes bigger, use white or gold eyeliner.

Makeup for blue eyes

Daytime summer makeup for blue eyes should be as natural as possible, and shades of shadows should be close to skin color. You can also use black, white, gray and brown, purple, coral, peach, green, blue color palettes. If you want to use bright shadows, then stop at the "whitened" options.

It is preferable for brunettes to use not too bright makeup, since dark hair already creates an accent on the face: peach, brown, sandy shades, khaki and taupe colors are the colors that will give the image a complete look.

For blondes, bright summer makeup in the style of a Barbie doll, as well as neutral tones, shades of peach, azure, coral, violet, greenery, bronze, silver and gold, are a great option.

Makeup for gray eyes

To emphasize the beauty and tenderness of gray eyes, you need to choose the right color scheme. For autumn-type girls with dark skin, a pencil and shades of sand, bronze or golden hue, as well as green, blue, turquoise, purple and pink shades are suitable.

For the type of winter, a pencil and shades of pale green, purple, blue, pink-beige, lavender, light brown and cream are suitable. Shadows should be well shaded.

For summer makeup for gray eyes, dark blue and silver metallic shades are ideal.

To make gray eyes appear blue, you can use golden, sandy, bronze, yellow and orange shadows. Chocolate, emerald and green shades will turn into green gray eyes.

Beware of shadows that are the same color as your eyes, as this will make your eyes look lifeless. Also, do not paint your eyes with bright orange and pink shadows, which will visually make the eyes inflamed.

Here are the basic rules for how makeup should look, not only this year, but hopefully for future years. . Be beautiful!
