Check Out the Hottest Summer Makeup Trends
1. Natural, Feathery Brows
We’re leaving perfect and sculptured Instagram brows in 2019, and are loving natural and feather brows this summer! This ethereal brow look has taken over and it’s giving us an easy and natural look. As a bonus it’s easier to accomplish than its predecessor!
Add a dash of color enough to fill in your brows, and avoid creating harsh lines along the border of your brows. Instead of brushing your brow hairs toward the direction they bend, brush it up all the way up to the end. Don’t worry about the unequal length of the hairs, that’s what makes this look natural and lovely.
2. Neon Summer Makeup
The 80’s called – they’re coming.
Go for a bold eye look with a neon eye palette with or without eyeliner. Skip the eyeliner if y0u want to bring more color to your face, but an eyeliner will bring all eyes to your own. Such vivid makeup is best paired with a nude lip – that is unless you’re daring of course.
Use one neon color, or all of them. Take a cue from beauty guru Kylie Jenner and makeup artist Ariel on how to create a neon moment.
3. Watercolor Shadows

Prefer shadows that aren’t brighter than the sun?
Keep cool this summer with watercolor shades in your summer makeup. Just like an artwork, explore with different ways you can blend the colors. Forget about the crease, center, and corner – the artistry of watercolor comes from how you blend the colors and allow them to melt into each other.
4. Get Blued
The wind in her hair, the sea on her lids – that’s how beauties do summer.
We’re loving electric eyes this summer, blue tones can be as feisty as the crashing waves or as serene as tranquil waves on the shore. Let this be your next summer eye makeup.
5. Bold Eyeliner Summer Makeup
Beyond cat eyes and tight lining, there’s so much more we could do with color and eyeliners.
Use a bold color with a graphic shape to frame the entire eye area instead of just the eyes. We said earlier that we’re finding new ways to use color in our summer makeup, so why not go with vibrant colors with neon tones? Yellow-green is my ride or die – what’s yours?
6. Heavenly Eyeliner
Yes, white eyeliner is still in the cards beauties! If you love the idea of floating eyeliner like in the previous summer makeup but are just a beginner with colors, go for white. White is an understated color that will play with any and all color palettes, but don’t underestimate its ability to make your makeup pop.

7. Extravagant Eyelashes
Made you look.
Bring those embellishments from your eyes to the tips of your lashes because we’re loving extravagant lashes for our summer makeup. You can also opt for extra long lashes if that’s your jam – the keyword here is extra.
8. Glossy Lips Summer Makeup
Wear lips as glistening as the ocean with a high shine lip gloss or oil.
Geared towards a more natural look, 2020’s summer makeup includes wet and hydrated list in its line up. If you’ve been doing natural makeup routine on your WFH days, spice it up a bit with glossy lips. Make sure all eyes are on you on your next virtual meeting.
9. You’re Flushed Blush
Fake that post fun in the sun look with flushed cheeks.
Grab a blush in the same shade of your lippy and go overboard – we’re allowing it this summer. Keep it classy by going with a subdued eye look, and natural and ethereal with a shimmery gloss.
10. Bare-Faced Beauty
Let’s face it, this has been our go-to look since the beginning of the quarantine.
This is the best summer makeup trend to beat the hot and humid summer weather. Reach for a lightweight foundation or spot correct with a medium coverage concealer, followed by a translucent setting powder to keep the finish and shade natural. A waterproof setting spray will make sure your summer makeup will withstand the elements.
11. Glass Skin Summer Makeup
We’re taking a cue from Korean beauty and keeping our skin dewy and hydrated this summer.
You’ll find a foundation with SPF 50 has a dewy finish, powder lightly to keep the wet look. Here’s a summer makeup tip for oily skin – go with your natural matte or velvet foundation and fake the glisten with a champagne highlighter. Champagne shades are natural and suit all skin tones and have a beautiful luminous sheen when they reflect light.
My summer makeup products include SPF because I love makeup that multi-tasks as skincare. Of course, I still apply SPF under my makeup.
12. Lavish Glitter
All that glitters is bold.
This summer, play around with glitter in your makeup look. Glitters aren’t exclusive to Coachella, and they’re not just for your lids either. Check out how Pony applied glitters above her cheekbones.
