Summer Makeup Step-By-Step Guide
- Step 1: Create a minimal base
Minimal makeup is the latest summer makeup trend. And to keep the base natural and minimal, the primary rule is to avoid heavier formulations. This will prevent your makeup in summer from looking cakey or creased. Start by applying a primer to blur pores and create an even base. Next, instead of using a foundation, you can go in straight with the concealer for a natural finish. However, if you still wish to apply foundation, go for a lightweight formulation. This will help to blur perfections and leave the skin looking effortlessly flawless. Lastly, lock your base with setting powder.

- Step 2: Add colour and shine
Blush is a must-have product for your summer makeup look as it adds life to the face instantly, and leaves the skin feeling fresh and healthy. Apply a small amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks and the bridge of your nose to achieve the effect of a naturally sun-kissed summer makeup look. Then, enhance your natural radiance and enjoy a luminous glow-from-within by applying highlighter to the high points of your face such as the cheekbones, cupids bow, and bridge of your nose to shine like the sun (or maybe brighter) this summer season.

- Step 3: Choose simplicity for the eyes
A simple, and bare eye makeup is a great way to rock your summer makeup look. Start by shaping your eyebrows and colouring your eyelids with nude eyeshadow shades. Then, apply kajal or eyeliner to add definition to your eye makeup. Finish your eye makeup by lifting your eyelashes with waterproof mascara.
