Do not fret, there are ample ways to prevent you from falling into this hapless situation. Here are some summer makeup tips which are sure to help you out this scorching summer.

Whatever You Do, Keep It Light

During summer, just like you wear light cotton shirts or blouses, you need to wear light makeup too. Light makeup looks natural, and makes you stand out in the crowd. It helps your skin breathe and even makes you look younger.

Light Makeup

Skin
These are a few valuable tips for the skin.
  • Before going out in the sun, use ample amount of sunblock or light moisturizer, which will protect your skin from the rays of the sun.
  • Do not use your foundation to cover up your facial marks during summer, but instead use translucent tinted powder.
  • When it comes to blush, use a light color, such as soft pink or maybe bright roses. Instead of just focusing on your cheeks, place the brush on your temple and run it towards your hairline, this will give you a more youthful look.
Lips
Keep these points in mind as regards to the lips.
  • Stay away from dark shades of lip colors. Instead use just your lip gloss or very light shades of lipstick. Give your lips the natural look.
  • Do not use lip liners.
Eyes
As they say, eyes speak, hence it's important that you focus more on your eye makeup. Whenever we see the picture of a model in the magazine pages, what do we notice first? The eyes. Hence it's important to learn more about eye makeup.
  • The eye makeup should be simple. You can use neutral or soft shimmery eye shadows. Golden green or mango green colors will go with black or brown mascara.
  • You can also curl your lashes to make them look longer and give your eyes a wide look. Use a fine line of eyeliner. You can use slate gray, warm chocolate or navy shades of eyeliners.
  • Be sure that the mascara that you are using is waterproof. Suddenly you might feel like taking a dip in the pool, that time I am sure you do not want to have a "black eye", with your mascara running down your eyes freely.
  • And last but not the least, DO NOT forget to take your sunglasses along with you.
Go Bronze This Summer

One of the important tips to keep in mind is that, the bronze look gives your skin a fake baked appearance, and it also brightens up your eyes and makes your teeth appear even whiter. So, before leaving your house, just brush on some bronze powder on your face, mainly the forehead, nose, chin and the cheekbones region. A touch of golden or bronze shimmer under your brows or across your cheekbones can do wonders. You also dab some bronze on your shoulders and flaunt it by wearing your favorite sleeveless dress or top. You can let your imagination run wild and come up with various useful makeup tricks using bronze.

So, ladies, try these makeup tips and look your best this summer. And more importantly, just feel light and free.
