Something I love about the summertime is that there’s a lot of freedom to experiment with your style and beauty routine.

It’s a season that brings on a lot more outdoor activities, parties, events, vacations, etc., so we’ve got a lot of looks to plan.

Makeup in the summer can be a bit tricky, given the hot weather and potential beach and pool days, but it can be really fun to play with.

This year, there is a large spectrum of summer looks and aesthetics to choose from. There are the softer looks with glossy lips and neutral eyeshadows, as well as more dramatic, glammed-up looks with bright colors and accessories.

This is why it’s important to keep your eyes on certain trends to see what you want to play around with this summer.

If you’re looking for ways to spice up your makeup routine this summer and be prepared for any and all events, here are some of this year’s summer makeup trends.

Colorful mascara

While walking around with big, bold eyelashes colored with black mascara is always a good look, summer is a season of color, so you should experiment with colored mascara.

Blue mascara is always a fun and accessible choice, but you can get even bolder with colors like pink, yellow, or orange.

Extra blush

I love the look of cute, pink, flushed cheeks during the summertime, and right now, people are embracing extra blush. You can easily achieve extra pink cheeks with liquid blush products and seal the deal with a gorgeous highlighter.

Rhinestones and pearls

With influential artists like Chappell Roan rocking the stage while wearing extremely elaborate and shiny eyeshadow looks, more people are experimenting with adhesive rhinestones and pearls in the summer.

Don’t be afraid to stick a few little gems or pearls near your eyes for your next summer night out to stand out from the crowd and look like a star.

Glossy lips

If you prefer a more ‘clean girl’ look over the summer, you should be stocking up on some good quality lip glosses. These days, people are ditching their go-to lipsticks for a reliable lip gloss and showing off their gleaming lips.

Mermaid eyeshadow

Mermaid eyeshadow is a fun way to embrace the colors of the summer and channel your inner magical mermaid. Take a break from your usual neutral eyeshadows and have fun creating beautiful looks with shiny blue, silver, teal, and purple shades.

Hopefully, this gives you a bit of inspiration for creating your next summer day makeup look. Again, remember to enjoy all the colors that come with this time of year, and don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone. And, of course, don’t forget your primer and setting sprays -it’s going to get hot out there!
