BEAUTY BAR: Summer Glow

The summer gives any Fashionista the perfect opportunity to go BOLD. You are able to use your blooming environment to gain inspiration for your makeup look. Trust me, I am the first one to grab my neutral shadows to create a simple smoky eye, but the summer always urges me to step outside of my comfort zone. I tend to look past the cool-toned shades and grab beautiful, light-catching products that make me feel and look radiant.

This Fashionista incorporated stunning berry, peach and purple tones to achieve this summer-inspired look. She used a sharp, highly defined liquid eyeliner to intensify the pastel tones, creating a look that’s perfect for a summer night out. Her strawberry-toned lipstick keeps a strong focus on her face and gives her black and white ensemble the pop it needs. The clear mixture of monochromatic threads and feminine makeup combines to make her overall look very fun and flirty, while staying polished and chic.

A good highlight is a solid investment for this summer. In the close-up photos above, you can see the shimmery glow on her cheekbones and nose. This highlight beautifully catches the light when she faces the sun, making her look dewy and fresh. Sweeping a pigmented highlight on the tops of your cheekbones, Cupid’s bow, chin and nose makes it appear that you spent your day soaking in the summer sun.

What’s on the BEAUTY BAR? Want to achieve this crisp summer look? It’s easy! This Fashionista used the brand new Jaclyn Hill x BECCA Cosmetics Champagne Pop highlight to create a beautiful glow on the face, a deep berry lipstick and liquid eyeliner from the Sephora Collection to add definition to the face and simple pastels eyeshadows from e.l.f. Cosmetics to keep the look light and fresh. Simply throw your hair into a wavy bun to keep your look breezy and laid-back. Ready, set, GLOW!
