Hot pink, tangerine, citrus yellow -- oh my! Summer is the perfect season to play up your eyes and lips with bright and bold colors. This year's summer makeup trend is all about making bold statements with your look, your style. So say goodbye to those pastel colors and hello to bright hues!
Whether you're hitting up town or spending the weekend with some friends, adding a dash of color to your facial feature will definitely make you stand out amongst the crowd.
Choose a Facial Feature to Be the Focal Point
The key to wearing bright and bold makeup colors is to keep it limited. Too much color on the lips, eyes, and cheeks can become a competition on the face--and maybe make you look more like a clown, too. So keep it fresh. Keep it simple.
For example, if you want your lips to be the attention of the game, apply OMG! Red lipstick and keep the rest of your face bare. Same concept goes with your eyes. If you want your eyes to be the center stage, apply a bright color such as Peacock, but keep the rest of your face looking fairly neutral.
How to Get a Neutral Look
Strutting a natural makeup look is another hot trend this summer. To achieve a neutral luminous glow, apply a layer of mineral foundation or tinted moisturizer with a hint of bronzer on the cheeks. But if you're like me and need a little more coverage to hide those blemishes, use a Q-tip to dab a little concealer onto the desired area prior to dusting on the mineral foundation.
Make summer more fun by adding bright flirty hues to your style. Experiment with different colors to see what suits your complexion best. Have fun and run with it! You'll be looking smoking hot in no time.
