Summer Makeup Tutorial:

How to do makeup in summer? Here is a step by step summer makeup tutorial.

Summer Makeup For Eyes

Step 1: Apply Eye Primer And Eye Shadow

Start by applying an eye primer and then apply a taupe colored brown creamy eye shadow base to your eyelids. This step will ensure that your eyeshadow does not melt or crease off easily in the hot summer climate. Here, I have used Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze.

Step 2: Add Some More Eye Shadow

Apply the same taupe brown eyeshadow over the cream base to increase the intensity of the color. Here, I have used a soft shimmery taupe color eyeshadow from the Elf Day on the Beach eyeshadow palette. Use a flat eyeshadow brush to obtain maximum color pay off.

Step 3: Create Peppy Effect To The Eyes

Apply a soft peach-like orange shade to the outer corner of your eyes and slightly above the crease area of your face. This step will bring in a vibrant contrast between the brown and peach color to create a vibrant effect to the eyes. Here, I have mixed the Revlon eyeshadow in Melon and Claire eyeshadow in red to get the peach-like orange color.

Step 4: Soften The Eye Look With Gel Liner & Pencil

Then, apply a jet black gel liner to the upper lash line of your eyes. Gel liner can be applied thick or thin according to your preference. Now, use a pencil or smudge brush to soften the eye look.

Step 5: Create Cat Eye Look

Create a dramatic cat eye look or winged eye look. Here, I have used the Kryolan Black Liquid Liner and draw a small cat eye liner.

Step 6: Add Color To Lower Lash Line

Step 7: Mascara And False Eyelashes

A little mascara can make your eyes standout. Additionally, you can also add false eyelashes to complete the makeup look.

Summer Makeup For Face:

Step 8: Apply Oil-Free Base and Blush

Apply a good lightweight formula base to your face. I like to wear BB creams in summers as it is light-weight and doesn’t melt like foundation in high temperatures. Then, set it with an oil-free compact powder to prevent shine and oiliness of the skin. Apply a light peach-like pink blush to your cheeks to add a soft and fresh look to the makeup.

Step 9: Add Sun Kissed Effect Using Bronzer

Apply a bronzer to the hollow parts of your cheeks to give dimension and add a sun kissed effect to your skin. Here, I have used the Lakme Moonlight Bronzer.

Summer Makeup For Lips

Step 10: Bold And Bright Lips

Finally apply a bright lipstick, preferably a bright orange color or lip color, and complete the makeup look. Here, I have used Inglot lipstick refill no. 19.

And you are done!

Summer Makeup Tips
