Summer is here (well, in some parts of the world except for the UK) and there's nothing better than soaking up the sun and ridding yourself of that pale winter skin. If you live in a place, like the UK, where summer doesn't necessarily mean warm weather and sunshine, there's always makeup to fake a beautiful, flushed, summer look.
When I say faking a a summer look, I'm not talking about a fake tan. All you need to get that summer glow are the right eyeshadow colours and a bronzer to replace your usual blusher.
Use bronze or rust coloured eyeshadows with some browns that have a bit of shimmer and definitely use a bronzer on your cheeks. These colours will give you a very natural look. Summer makeup should always be light and natural.
My favourites for the summer are MAC eyeshadow in Mythology paired with MAC eyeshadow in Mulch. Use Mythology as your main colour. Mulch, as it is the darker of the two, should be used on your corners. Blend the colours out really well as you want them to look as natural as possible. Go easy on the eyeliner and opt for a pencil liner on the upper lashline only. Naturally enchance your bottom lashline by adding mascara to the bottom lashes.
As for your bronzer, use it on your cheeks as you would with your blush but brush just a teeny tiny bit of it on your chin, nose and forehead. This will give you a beautiful summer glow. I'm using MAC Bronzer in Refined Golden.
Opt for a terracotta shade of lipstick or something peachy to complement the look. I'm using Revlon Lipbutter in Macaron.
Important Tip:
Don't over do the bronzer as you can appear too have too much of a fake tan. Applying it all over your face like you would a powder will give you an overly bronze look or make your face look dirty.
