When the temperature rises, the last thing we want is to spend a lot of time on a makeup look that we do our best to make it last on a hot summer day. Since we’ve already tackled the way to get the freshest summer look and the most perfect summer lips, it’s time to treat the eyes with a little something. And what could look fresher than a set of glossy eyelids when out on a sunny day? Although it might look like a complicated task, we assure you that it couldn’t get any easier! Let’s say it’s a simple procedure that leaves a mega effect. Now, let us take you through it step by step.
- Start off by applying primer on your eyes. To optimize the radiant effect that this look stands for, we love Dior’s Dior Forever Glow Veil, which makes the skin intensely luminous.
- Next, apply a base eyeshadow to unify your eyelid. For this, you’ll want to use one that lasts, and Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick is the perfect fit, especially in color Sand Nude which doesn’t affect the color of the eyeshadow – or eyeshadows if you’d like to create an elaborate look. Apply it all over your lid and let’s move on!
- Now, to the look! Choose your favorite eyeshadow palette for the summer. We absolutely love the vibrant red shade from CHANEL’s Les 4 Rouges Yeux et Joues oversize makeup palette in 357 Tendresse. So, we applied and blended the shade well to create the desired look, but of course, you can adapt this look to your occasion and elaborate as much as you want.
- While waiting for the colors to set in, apply your favorite mascara. We will forever be in love with Benefit Cosmetics’ They’re Real mascara!
- When done, it’s time for the game-changing step. This one will call for a clear gloss that feels weightless on the eyes and MAC Cosmetics’ Lipglass Clear gloss would provide that, as well as a glass-like finish that you’ll become addicted to. Apply it precisely, don’t get close to your lash line and remember, a little bit goes a long way with this one!
