For each season, a certain type of makeup is relevant. For summer, this is, of course, naturalness and tenderness. How to create natural makeup that will highlight your beauty, will not “run” from sea spray and, at the same time, protect you from the hot sun?
Getting ready to travel to a hot country, I thought about what summer makeup to wear on vacation so that I could feel comfortable with it, not be afraid that the makeup would “run,” and still look great. Each season has its own subtleties of self-care. In winter, we need to try to protect our skin and hair as much as possible from exposure to cold air and temperature changes. In the summer, you want to look as natural and fresh as possible, so choose lighter creams and lipsticks that will not clog your skin pores.
In hot weather, you should try to keep summer makeup to a minimum so that your makeup does not melt under the scorching rays of the sun. In addition, in the summer the work of the sebaceous glands is activated, the skin becomes oilier, and in some areas rougher, which can cause acne to appear in some people. Therefore, in summer you need to use more gentle and light skin care products.
What you should pay attention to when choosing “summer” cosmetics for summer makeup.
One of the most important qualities that summer cosmetics should have is UV protection. The sun's rays hitting unprotected skin make it rougher, leading to the formation of unwanted wrinkles and age spots. This makes the skin age much faster. Therefore, when choosing cosmetics, give preference to those that contain SPF factors.
Second, no less important factor summer cosmetics - its water resistance. Nobody wants to constantly look in the mirror throughout the day and worry about whether my lipstick is running or whether my mascara is smudged under my eyes. If you use mascara, replace it with waterproof one. I practically don’t use mascara in the summer; instead, I like to apply a special vitamin gel to my eyelashes. It is good because in addition to giving shape to eyelashes, it protects them from the sun and nourishes them with useful substances.
Cleansing.
Any makeup, no matter summer or winter, should be applied to previously cleansed skin of the face and neck. In summer, it is better to use softer cleansers that do not contain alcohol. These can be special foams, mousses, gels.
Hydration.
Base for summer makeup.
In the summer I usually don't use foundation because I find it too heavy for hot weather. But if you can’t refuse it, then choose a lighter cream with a UV filter and a less dense texture than yours. common remedy. Remember that the foundation should not be noticeable on the face and cause a feeling of tightness and discomfort. This is unsightly in any weather, but in the summer it is especially noticeable. good foundation will hide minor skin imperfections and protect it from oily shine.
Sometimes in the summer it is enough to use a concealer that will disguise dark circles under the eyes and will hide small pimples and blemishes. The corrective product usually has a very delicate texture and is not felt at all on the skin. The concealer pencil should match your skin tone or maybe a shade lighter. It will make your face look fresher.
Powder.
In the summer I use loose powder, as it has a light texture and does not clog pores. But it’s better to avoid compact powders at this time of year. This powder is heavier and looks unnatural in summer, while the skin feels tight. Under the influence of high temperatures compact powder gets into folds and facial wrinkles, rolls down, and the face becomes like a mask.
Loose powders with a pearl effect or tanning effect look very beautiful. The rays of the sun falling on the shimmering particles make the skin glow and look tanned and rested. Apply powder with a wide brush all over your face and remove excess with a powder puff.
Brows.
You need to pay attention to the eyebrows Special attention, as they add completeness to the image. I tint my eyebrows a little with dark eye shadow and apply a special eyebrow gel on top. For evening makeup You can choose a gel with a radiance effect. It looks very impressive, but unobtrusive. If you don’t have such a gel on hand, you can use regular hair styling gel - this will give your eyebrows a natural shine.
And of course, don’t forget about the neat shape of your eyebrows. Even if you regularly pluck your eyebrows at a beauty salon, before applying makeup, be sure to make sure that there are no extra hairs sticking out anywhere. If they do appear, carefully remove them with tweezers.
Eyes.
It is better to use shadows to a minimum. If in winter and autumn you are used to applying shadows over the entire eyelid, then for summer shading with shadows along the lash line and very slightly above the outer corner of the eye is more suitable. Use dry and matte shadows, since liquid shadows from the sun will clog into folds and pores, making your makeup look very sloppy and untidy.
Eye shadows in natural and delicate shades are perfect for summer makeup. Blue, lilac and turquoise colors look very impressive on my brown eyes. For everyday makeup I usually use gray shadows with a pearlescent effect. Instead of eyeliner, I apply them to the upper eyelid with a thin brush and lightly blend. This emphasizes the shape of the eyes. And if you apply a little light, pearlescent shadow to the inner corner of the eye, the eyes will appear wider and more expressive. For those with green eyes, shades of gold and bronze are suitable. In general, summer is the right time to experiment with flowers. For example, I really like to match the shadows to the color of the dress or bright accessories. This way your entire image will turn out bright, memorable and consistent in the same style. To ensure that the shadows last longer and do not crease, apply them in only one, thin layer.
It is better to choose waterproof eyeliner, as well as mascara. If you are going on vacation, you can paint your eyebrows and eyelashes with permanent paint. This will protect them from the sun and you won't have to apply eye makeup every morning.
Nowadays artificial eyelashes are becoming very popular. Of course, this is a very convenient option on vacation. At any time of the day or night, your eyelashes are in excellent shape, but keep in mind that when water gets on them, they stick together and look very unnatural. Therefore, if you plan to swim a lot on vacation and spend most of your time near the water, then you will be uncomfortable with such eyelashes.

Lips.
The finishing touch to creating summer makeup is a little gloss in a natural shade on the lips. During the day, natural shades look good - peach, slightly pink, pearlescent. And for evening makeup you can use more rich colors. Lipstick, like face cream, must contain a protective UV filter to prevent lips from becoming dry and cracked in the sun.
Summer everyday makeup.
For daytime summer makeup, apply a sunscreen primer under your makeup and let it absorb. Remove excess cream with a napkin so that your makeup lasts longer. Use concealer to cover up signs of fatigue and dark circles under your eyes. If there are no special problems on the skin, then you don’t need to use foundation. Even out your complexion with loose powder and apply a little darker powder to your cheekbones for a tanned effect. Apply a special gel to your eyebrows and eyelashes, and cover your lips with pink or peach gloss. In principle, gentle summer makeup is ready. But, if you cannot do without shadows and eyeliner, then use beige shadows and waterproof liquid eyeliner. Blend shadows of a darker shade in the crease above the outer corner of the eye, and more bright hues Apply to the inner corner of the eye and to the eyelid. To lengthen the shape of your eyes, draw eyeliner just beyond the outer corner of your eye. If you line your eyes with a pencil, you can apply dark shadows over the eyeliner using a special brush. This will prevent the pencil from spreading.
Daytime summer makeup can quickly be turned into evening makeup. To do this, apply powder with a bronze shimmering effect to your cheekbones. This will make your face look fresher and hide signs of fatigue. For the evening, shadows of more saturated colors are suitable. A little light pearlescent shadow under the eyebrow will add expressiveness to the look and visually lift the eyebrow. Eyeliner on the lower eyelid will help make your eyes brighter. You can choose bolder shades of lipstick for evening makeup.
So, in order to create a gentle, summer makeup, you need to take into account several nuances. Makeup should only be applied to cleansed and moisturized skin. A very important criterion for choosing cosmetics for summer is its ability to protect our skin from the sun. Another factor in summer makeup is water-resistant cosmetics. All summer makeup products should have a lighter texture than winter and autumn makeup. And of course, naturalness - the less shadows and lipsticks you use, the more delicate and natural your image turns out.
Sincerely, Natalia Maksimova.
Where does summer makeup begin? WITH proper care behind the skin of the face. Increased hydration and maximum care with SPF. We should not forget that in the summer, of course, the sun warms us and makes us happy, but at the same time it negates all efforts to preserve the youth of the skin, promoting the formation of pigmentation. To avoid this, I advise you to definitely use creams. Any light weight will do for protection. Foundation with SPF or light matte powders, you should not abuse dense textures at this time of year.
Features of summer makeup
Be careful with waterproof foundations - this is a very specific product, it is not suitable for daily makeup, especially in the hot season. It is better to opt for loose mineralized foundation creams, since they have the ability to adapt to skin tone within a half-tone, which is especially important in the summer, because at this time of year we tend to sunbathe, which means the tone of our skin changes. I do not recommend using oil-based tones, since the skin will already look oily, and the increased amount of enzymes contained in such creams will only add shine to the skin. And in the hot season, it is important to maintain the dullness of the skin.
This can be achieved in several ways:
1. Do not use a makeup base. Just wipe your skin with lotion to degrease it and apply foundation right away.
2. Use matte tones. Avoid tones with wet effect. In summer, this effect looks ambiguous.
3. Use matting powder delicately and as rarely as possible, or better yet, replace it with matting napkins. Just blot your face with the matte side of the napkin in those areas where you notice shine, this will be quite enough. Wipes will mattify the skin, but will not clog pores, as happens with frequent use of powder.
I recommend using it during the day mineral water for face. It perfectly moisturizes the skin, and it is also a very pleasant and easy procedure. Just a few presses on the valve, and your skin will receive the necessary moisture, additional minerals and freshness. Don't worry, your makeup won't be ruined - the dosage per press is very delicate, your appearance will not suffer, but there will be many benefits.
Eye makeup
When choosing eye makeup, focus on natural, soft, pastel shades: pink, powdery, delicate colors, as well as bronze, brown and gold. As for texture, in summer you can afford to use dry and creamy textures. In hot weather this is even preferable. Cream shadows are very easy to apply. To do this, take a little cosmetic product and apply the shadows with your fingertips, lightly patting, as if driving into the eyelid.
Wait a little, do not open the eyelid, let the shadows dry. And here you have a quick and moisture-resistant eye makeup!
Shadows with a wet effect look interesting. If you use such shadows when the skin is generally matte, it will only enhance the effect. Your makeup will not go unnoticed! The only advice is not to overdo it with the color itself. The color of the shadows should not be saturated, it should be gentle. Use such shadows only on the upper eyelid so as not to create the feeling of tear-stained eyes. Pair your makeup with waterproof mascara and liner to ensure your makeup stays in place all day, no matter how hot you get.
Emphasis on lips
This year, a new lip makeup technique has come into fashion. This makeup was offered to us by one famous fashion house at its show. The girls liked the effect so much that in a matter of weeks this makeup won a lot of fans - this is flash lip makeup. Its goal is to make lips as natural and seductive as possible. To create this makeup, you will first need to remove any coating from your lips using a cotton pad and any non-greasy lotion. Apply a primer (this can be either a special product or a moisturizer), hold it for a while and remove. Apply to the entire surface of the lips a small amount of eye concealer to mattify and soften natural color lips, create a so-called base for lipstick and pencil. If you don't have concealer, don't use foundation, it dries out your lips too much.
Choose a lip pencil of your desired color and draw an outline. Blend this outline with a brush, cotton swab or your finger. You can shade the lips themselves from the corners to the center - this will give the lips additional volume. We complete the makeup with lipstick. We apply it with patting movements of the fingertips, and in no case with strokes! For convenience, you can use a flat brush or sponge. Your trendy flash makeup is ready! If you want to enhance the effect, add glitter or a second contrasting color! I wish you to be the most beautiful this summer!
Summer 2018 promises to be bright and sunny not only in terms of weather, but also in terms of fashion. As for makeup, in the coming season, pastel and soft sunny shades of shadows, the absence of arrows and foundation on the face, and a barely noticeable lip contour will be relevant. But this applies to daytime makeup and ladies who have perfect skin faces. But evening makeup does not place any restrictions on the choice of shades. These can be bright, juicy lips in wine-red shades, eyes with the effect, graphic arrows, bright shadows.
Nuances of evening makeup for the summer season 2018
But the shades of lipstick can be the most shocking: black, wine, brown, purple, etc. 
One more fashion trend The season spring ‒ summer 2018 is pink makeup. Pink lovers can breathe a sigh of relief and not worry about where to apply the color correctly: on the lips, eyes or cheeks. In the coming season, pink makeup will be relevant to distribute over the entire face, that is, you can simultaneously combine pink eye shadow, pink lipstick and blush of the same color. The only subtlety of such makeup is that you need to choose the exact tone of blush, eye shadow and lip gloss or lipstick so that they match each other. The makeup itself is done very simply and does not require dividing the face into zones. Also, keep an eye on the intensity of the applied color so that your makeup is pleasant and attractive.
Daytime summer makeup
An innovation for the spring-summer 2018 season is the complete absence of foundation on the face and black lines on the eyes; complete naturalness is welcomed. Natural makeup emphasizes feminine beauty, without unnecessary burden and will be very relevant in the coming season. Down with mattifying agent - in summer season Glowing skin will be fashionable. If you need to hide dark circles under your eyes, remove redness, or disguise some blemishes on your face, then you should still use a foundation, but in moderation, and you need to select a cream to match your face tone. Foundation It should be applied not with rubbing movements, but with a brush, as if simply covering the face. In this case, you should not use a moisturizer or foundation base. For daytime makeup, girls often pay tribute to loose powder so as not to clog their pores in the summer. But the most advantageous option would be a tinted facial serum with a light, airy texture. In addition, serum has beneficial features for skin. Only the price is much higher than a regular foundation. 
Eye shadows should be chosen in pastel shades, sunnier, beige. Lips in daytime makeup should also be in discreet colors. Light brown shades, pale soft pinks, and peach shades are suitable here. The contour on the lips may be completely absent or barely noticeable, thereby shading it. 
Eye makeup for the summer season
Long luxurious eyelashes will always be in fashion, including this summer. Here, various mascaras that create a lengthening effect, false eyelashes, or you can resort to extensions will come to the rescue. As for mascara, you should not apply it too generously to your eyelashes to avoid creating the effect of spider legs on your eyes. The look should be expressive and at the same time light.
Stylists recommend not turning your eyebrows into strings during correction, especially avoiding tattooing. Strive, on the contrary, to make them naturally wide and a couple of tones darker than your hair color. If the eyebrows are poorly defined, then they can be tinted to the desired effect with special shadows and secured with wax, or tinted with paint. Or you can simply use a pencil and draw clear lines to create a shape. After which I shaded it a little. 
- the only product that needs to be applied in a thick layer in summer; try to use everything else to a minimum. What makeup rules should you follow in the summer? Remember the main ones.
Summer makeup rules
Minimal makeup
Whether you're heading out on the town or hanging out at the beach, skip the base step and focus all your attention on the concealer. They can, firstly, disguise circles under the eyes, redness or skin imperfections, and secondly, not worry about the tone fading under the rays of the sun. Choose products with a dense texture and apply with your fingers - this will make your makeup last longer.

Try a tinted moisturizer
Uncomfortable going out without makeup? Try a tinted moisturizer. It will even out your skin tone, add radiance and will not create a mask effect. Choose formulas with reflective particles - they will not only illuminate the skin, but will also form a thin, weightless layer.

Be careful with glitter
To add some shine to your summer makeup, use a liquid highlighter. Apply a little to the top of the cheekbones, along the brow line and along the bridge of the nose. But don’t highlight the tip of your nose with highlighter – otherwise the delicate shine can turn into a greasy sheen.

Use multifunctional tools
For example, lip and cheek tint. Test the product on your lips first, and if it can withstand both light snacks and a full meal, then it will last just as long on your cheeks.

Mascara must be long lasting
Waterproof mascara is the easiest option for the summer, but it is better not to use it every day, especially if you have. The solution for you may be a beauty trick that makeup artists recommend using for those who find waterproof mascara irritating. Paint your lower lashes with clear mascara, and your upper lashes first with clear and then with black to set the color and make your makeup more durable. And don’t forget about such a segment of cosmetics as colored mascara: when, if not in the summer?

Focus on the eyes
Summer is the time to choose eyeshadows that attract attention, such as bronze or rose gold. Make a hint of smokey eyes and blend them all over the eyelid, choose shades with shimmer, and cream textures. The same shadows are also suitable for evening makeup for the summer.
Don't forget about lipstick
Choose tinted lip glosses or tints, preferably with SPF protection. Apply your favorite lipstick, preferably one with a high pigment content, in a special way. Beat in the pigment with your fingertips, blot with a napkin and repeat these steps until you achieve the desired saturation.

Take advantage of six more ideas for makeup that won’t bring “surprises” on a hot summer day.
Second day eyeliner
This makeup was chosen for the spring-summer collections of Cloe, Alberta Ferretti and Francesco Scognamiglio. To repeat it, you don’t have to skip the evening stage of makeup removal. Apply dark shadows and eyeliner in a translucent layer so that the makeup does not turn out heavy, and in the heat, if it starts to spread, do not correct it - the effect will be exactly as the makeup artists intended.

This can be achieved, for example, with the help of lip gloss (three makeup options with the effect of wet eyelids are in ours). Apply gloss with a synthetic brush or fingers to the entire surface of clean eyelids. Fix the result with waterproof mascara.
Stella Jean © fotoimedia/imaxtree
Choose shimmer textures and shades with peach or pink undertones, and apply bronzer where the sun's rays fall: on the bridge of the nose, temple area and under the cheekbones. Blush or bronzer applied in this way creates the effect of a healthy, “childish” blush. If you don't have a bronzer with a shimmery texture, use a matte one: under the influence of temperature it will take on the desired look.

Gothic style eyeliner
To get this kind of makeup, remember the technique that models use. Line your eyes with liner and then take a shower - the effect you get cannot be achieved by applying the product with a brush or fingers. The eyeliner will “float” a little, but the excess can be easily removed with a cotton swab. Thanks to this method, you don’t have to try to create a “blurry” effect - desired result can be achieved without extra effort.

Do you want to get that smoky eye that lasts for a long evening? Remember the sequence of actions. Apply shimmer shadows to the upper and lower eyelids, complement your makeup with brown or black, paint your eyelashes with mascara and go outside - under the influence of temperature, your smokey eyes will become exactly as they should be.

Kissed by the sun
Left your lipstick in the car or in the sun? This is not a reason to be upset. To prevent the product from disappearing, create a bright eye makeup: apply red or coral lipstick as eyeshadow and blend it along the eyelid and in the crease.

Summer always inspires, you want to spend it as fun, interesting and active as possible. And we, women, always want to look beautiful and seductive. And the right summer makeup will help you do this!
But summer brings not only smooth chocolate tan, what many beauties dream of during the long winter. Heat also leads to increased sweating (and, as a result, sebum production), and also makes the skin much more vulnerable to dust and sunlight, which can cause various unpleasant complications.
Even with all the restrictions associated with high temperatures air, the use of makeup should not be underestimated. Right choice cosmetic products will only benefit the skin and protect it from harmful influences and help make it beautiful. Even when you have very little time, you can spend just a few minutes on your appearance to give your skin a healthy and radiant look and create summer daytime makeup that is appropriate for any situation.
The secret to summer makeup is to choose softer products. The “7 beauty steps in 7 minutes” offered below show exactly what you need to take into account when taking care of yourself in hot weather. So, summer makeup step by step:
Step One: Moisturize and Protect Skin
Using a moisturizer with UVA and UVB factors (SPF) has important to save healthy skin. In summer, light formulas of products (sprays, milk, cream, etc.) are preferred.
Step Two: Unification of facial skin tone
Apply BB cream or light foundation without oil to the face. In addition, the “oil-free” product will help prevent clogged pores and prevent the increase in sebum production from sweat on a hot day.
Small tip: Mix moisturizer with base and make your own BB cream. It should be distributed evenly over the entire face. BB cream or foundation is ideal for hiding blemishes and blemishes and refreshing the face. But you need to be careful so that it doesn't work out big difference in skin tone on the face and neck.
Step Three: Concealing Dark Circles and Blemishes
If there are dark circles under the eyes or blemishes, you need to use a lighter foundation to hide them. Liquid preparations are best suited for this in summer.
Step Four: Highlight the Cheekbones
In summer, light powder and blush are preferable, which are applied with a brush to the cheekbones. Fashionable summer makeup involves the use of popular shades of peach, rose and red wine (the latter only for the most or dark skin). An interesting trick: use powder and eye shadow.
Step Five: Highlight the Eyes
To highlight the eyes, you will need shadows with a narrow brush to draw a thin line along the eyelashes. It's good if the mascara is water-based.
Step six: Draw and fix the eyebrows
A thin line has long been out of fashion for summer makeup. Eyebrows should look natural, so it will be enough to remove only a few bristling hairs that break the eyebrow line. The tone of the gel for coloring and fixing should be chosen closer to natural, since, for example, black eyebrows on the face of a fair-skinned blonde will look ridiculous.
Step seven: Protect from heat and paint lips
Lipstick has a triple function: moisturizes, protects and gives color to the lips. You can moisturize them with lip balm with SPF. Fashionable shades Lipsticks this season: orange, coral and red, as well as beige, light pink and brown.
In order for summer makeup to last throughout the day, you should have special wipes with you that help remove excess sebum.
