Makeup Looks We'll Be Wearing This Summer
In the wake of the heatwave that has recently swept the UK, summer now feels so close we can almost taste it. Whether planning for a night at the bar with the girls, a date in a fancy restaurant, or your holiday evening glam, summer makeup has got us all super excited.
Here are some of our favourite makeup looks that we are going to be wearing as the weather hots up!
The Bold Red Lip by @sarahbroadgatemua
In the hotter weather, going for a pared back base and then bringing the glam with a bold lip colour is an ideal way to create an eye-catching look, without the stress of your makeup wearing off in the sun! To recreate Sarah’s look: Step one: Start by creating a glowy, light base with the NARS Tinted Moisturiser. Step two: Add in some radiance and sculpt your visage with the Iconic London bronzer. Step three: Decorate your eyes with a subtle gold shimmer using the shades Spur and Hold’em from the Urban Decay Naked Wild West Eyeshadow palette . Top off with your favourite pair of fluffy falsies! Step four: It’s time to apply your red lip! Take the NARS Powermatte Pigment in the shade Don’t Stop and apply all over your lips, very slightly overlining along the cupid’s bow.

Green Dream by @georgiaoxleymua
A shimmery eye will never go out of fashion, and this look can be adapted to multiple summer occasions from nights out, to festivals. To recreate Georgia’s look: Step one: Create a dreamy base that will last all day with the Note Beauty Extreme Wear Mattifying Foundation. Step two: Define your brows and create a naturally fluffy look using the Maybelline Tattoo brow Micro Ink Pen. Apply in light strokes to create a natural look. Step three: Create your beautifully shimmery look using the Lime Crime Venus XL II palette. Build up the colour using a flat packing brush and blending together the shades ‘Myth’ and ‘Ivy’. Step four: Add a nude lipgloss of your choice. We love the high shine, nourishing formula of the Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil-Infused Lipgloss in the shade ‘Sweet Talk’.

Blue Flames by @isabelleikpeme
Ideal for a festival or daytime event, this glowy, colourful look is bound to get heads turning. To recreate Isabelle’s look: Step one: Start by applying the Clinique Even Better Glow Light Reflecting makeup . Blend out using a brush or your fingertips for a fresh dewy glow. Step two: Take your bronze to the next level with the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Matte + Glow Bronzing Trio . Use the bronzer to sculpt and the highlight to give you a natural, iridescent glow. Step three: Now it’s time to create the flames! Use a blue liquid liner to sharpen the inner corner, then draw outwards along the brow bone, following the natural shape of the eye. Then use the precise tip to create your flamey flicks! For this look, we adore the NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Metallic Liquid Liner in the shade Teal Metal! Step four: Finish off with a light coating of a lengthening mascara such as Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara , and a natural lipgloss.
