Finally we’re starting to see weather resembling summer and we can’t wait. With a new season in full swing, we’re looking forward to not only switching out our wardrobe but welcoming in the sunshine with a refreshed makeup look and trying some of summer 2021’s hottest trends.

Whether your plans include jetting off for a beach escape or if you intend on staying a little closer to home, social media is packed with inspiration for stunning new makeup looks – however you spend your summer.

Be bold with a bright lip:

Minimal makeup looks with a bold, bright lip are everywhere this summer. Try a vibrant orange shade for the perfect beachside partner to a cocktail or two.

Eye-catching eyeliner:

In the same trend as minimal makeup looks comes creative eyeliner. When the weather heats up, a full face of makeup can sometimes feel uncomfortable, so instead why not opt for a classic cat eye or more dramatic winged effect? Coupled with a bold lip, it makes for the perfect effortless style so you can spend less time inside and more time soaking up the rays.

Highlighted, glowing skin:

Achieving the perfect ‘lit from within’ look starts with a skincare routine that hydrates and looks after your skin. Indulge in a little self-care and ensure your skin is exfoliated and moisturised before makeup application.

Highlight the high points of your face where the sun would naturally hit such as your cheekbones, browbones and lightly on the tip of your nose and cupid’s bow for the ultimate glow.

Fearless eyeshadow:

This summer don’t be afraid to inject some colour into your makeup looks. Bright, colourful, vibrant eyeshadows will be everywhere throughout summer 2021. Play around with pinks, blues, greens or even venture into neon shades…
