Get ready for the vibrant hues, glowy textures and slick, glossy looks to signal your summer-worthy beauty status. Here are the five stunning looks that are trending for summer 2024.
A Pop of Blue Eyeliner
There’s no denying the appeal of vibrant graphic eyeliner teamed with a bronzed, glowing complexion. It’s artful and chic. And it couldn’t be easier to achieve. Simply take an electric blue eyeliner like this waterproof kohl kajal, or 20-hour waterproof gel pencil and apply it along the upper and lower lash line. For an alternative look, you can do a cat-eye shape or graphic shape using this pro-finish eye makeup tool as your styling guide. Prefer the look of liquid eyeliner? Then try this ocean-inspired matte liquid liner. Its vibrant hue in a long-lasting matte finish is summer-approved!
Hyper Glowy Skin
Ethereal, glowing skin is pure summer makeup goals. The good news is, you can make it your reality with the right products. Give your complexion a great start by using a hydrating primer before your foundation or concealer. This skin glaze primer has a beautiful pearly finish that gives your skin that baseline glow you’ll need to get this look. Plus, it will help your complexion look better for longer, which is a must in the summer heat. Next, choose a lightweight foundation to apply overtop. This soft-glam filter fluid acts as a glow booster for your skin while subtly evening out your complexion. Need a bit more coverage? Mix it with your fave hydrating foundation for seamless coverage with a hyper-glowy finish.
Dewy, Sunset Blush
Orange-meets-pink is the summer blush hue of the season. It’s sunny, warm and everything your skin wants to be right now. For that dewy sun-kissed factor, go with a cream or liquid blush like this creamy stick (you can mix the peach and rose shades together) or this sheer liquid variety in shade orange fizz. For a melt-in-your-skin effect, blend your cream or liquid blush into your skin using your fingers, which helps warm up the product. You can also use the cream stick or liquid blush on your lips and even your lids for a monochromatic effect that summer makeup is all about.
Chromatic Color
The chrome beauty obsession has entered the chat and it’s going way beyond nails. On skin, cheeks and eyes, chromatic or holographic looks are trending for their ultra-pretty pearlescent effects. Ease into the trend with a holo highlighter applied to the temples and upper cheekbones for a subtle multidimensional skin effect that reflects colors like pink, gold and lime. On the eyes, chrome effects look just as stunning. Experiment with chrome eyeshadow colors like silver, purple and green that change based on your lighting. This creates the ultimate metallic-inspired gaze that’s perfect for summer.
Vinyl Lips
Summer makeup simply does texture better (there, we said it!). There’s glossy, slick, and shiny and all three are best applied to a summer pout that stands out. Give your lips the summer shine treatment they deserve with this gloss-like balm. A few swipes will give you a juicy summer pout, complete with fuller-looking lips and vinyl-like shine. You’ll want to hoard all four shades it comes in!
