Barely There Brows & Foundation

From spring to summer, you can say goodbye to heavily caked-on makeup and hello to embracing natural beauty. Before it was fashionable to emphasize the brows by making them dark, but now no matter what shape you have you can simply apply a gloss product to hold them in place, giving off a well-groomed look.

As for foundation, throw it out and find a BB or CC cream, which is basically a tinted moisturizer. Going light on the makeup is both comfortable and easy to style on your way out the door in the morning.

Gemstones

If you want to dress up a little bit for a night out, or do something just for fun, add some face jewels to the eye area. You can add a single jewel to the corner of your eye, make a design or go full-on Euphoria fashion with lots of wild gems. 

With the festival season already begun, face jewels will be essential for summer events and parties. Bring a pack with you to hand out to folks and make new friends, you will be the life of the party.

Pastel Eyes

Pastels always have a way of making their way back into spring fashion, but this year they also made their way in the form of bright popping colors. Take your typical spring palette, and then make it brighter, that is what is happening and will continue to leave its mark.

Don’t be afraid to embrace a bright purple, pink or orange eye to match your summer outfit at your next festival.

Lots Of Gloss

If there was an official lip product for spring and summer, it would be gloss without a doubt. There is something fun and vacation-like about wearing a gloss instead of a matte, it is a little more fun and less elegant than a matte finish.

These days lipgloss is not like it used to be, it is better. You can get a gloss from any high-quality brand that is packed with hydrating elements like hyaluronic acid, vitamins and fruit extracts. Look glossed up and feel hydrated too with your new summer companion, always keep the gloss in your bag and ready to go.
