Makeup Beauty Tips for the Summer

The weather's hot and skin often tends to become sticky and one can't imagine putting on heavy makeup on their faces in the sweltering heat. But what's a girl to do if she wants to still have makeup on? Here are a few makeup beauty tips which you can try this summer. These tips would leave you with a glowing natural look that is highly coveted by every girl during the summer season.

If the weather is too hot then skip the foundation! But if you have a bit of a problem with your skin tone, like uneven color or discoloration, you might just want to mix your foundation (just a little bit) to your moisturizer. This would offer you the coverage you need minus the heavy feeling. It is also one of the best summer makeup beauty tips out there. You can also opt to use powder foundations which give you light, natural looking coverage as well as oil control. For dark under eye circles, use a bit of concealer to hide them. There are also many products such as the tinted moisturizer which would give you the same coverage as the foundation and moisturizer mix but with sunscreen included in the mix. It's great for use during the summer.

Another one in our list of great makeup beauty tips for the summer is the use of a bronzer. Bronzers are an easy way to achieve that beautiful sun-kissed glow that everyone loves. But don't go overboard with it unless you want to end up looking like you've sat out in the sun for way too long. The proper way of application is to use a large powder brush and dabbing it into the 3 main spots. These spots are the nose, cheeks and the forehead. Using that technique would give you a more realistic look. However, if you used a self tanner on your face skip this step unless you'll end up looking like you burned yourself.

Next up, we have the eyes. Now, unlike the eye shadow color you choose for when you are going out to party or to hang out with friend should be different from your summer look. Your summer look should make you come across as natural, light and carefree. The best makeup beauty tips to achieve this are as follows:

Don't use dark colors! You are going for a light and breezy look so ditch the blacks for now.

Do use bone colored eye shadow or light ones such as light blues and baby pinks. Light colors would open up your eyes and give you that fresh look.

Use eyeliner but don't create a bold stripe on your eyelids. Use it only in the sides to open up the eyes.

Do curl your eye lashes. This would to the effect.

What's next on our list of great makeup beauty tips for the summer? The cheeks, of course! Now, remember that we are aiming for a fresh, natural look so keep your cheek color at a minimum. The best trick here is to use a cheek stain instead of a powder blush. Why?

Bold Blusher?

What company makes a bold blusher for the cheeks? I have tried many and none last on skin. Sometimes it is fun to wear bold blush in a nice way and need some colors and brands to do this. These days it seems not many people wear much blush. For those who are blush experts, please help! Thank you.

Bobbi Brown blushes are highly pigmented. The colors look kind of flat in the pan, but just a little dab on the cheeks is sometimes too much for me, so you would probably love this product. They only cost about 20 bucks, and they last forever. The two brightest ones I have are Soft Pink, which is actually dark, bright fuscia, and Clementine, which is a true bright orange.

Another line you might like is Nars. Their colors are also highly pigmented and very pretty. I have Angelika, which is a very bright, sparkly pink. The same rule as Bobbi Brown, a little goes a long way. Nars costs about $25.00.
