Summer makeup is all about glow, color, and carefree fun. Whether you’re heading out for patio dinners, weddings, or just want to refresh your look for the season, these summer makeup trends are low-effort, high-impact, and totally wearable.
Let’s break down 4 trends we’re loving right now — and how to keep your skin happy underneath it all.
✨ 1. Shimmer on the Eyes
It’s the season to sparkle! Metallic and shimmer eyeshadows are trending in golds, coppers, silvers, and even bold colors like aqua, lilac, and sky blue — perfect for catching the light during golden hour.
🌟 Pro Tip: Use a setting spray to keep shimmer in place (especially in the Texas heat!), and pair it with a hydrating eye cream to keep lids smooth underneath.
🍓 2. Sun-Kissed Cheeks (Blush is Everywhere)
Blush is stealing the show this summer — not just on your cheeks, but swept across the nose and even up toward the temples for a “sun-touched” effect.
From coral to berry, go with what flatters your undertone — cream blushes are great for that dewy, fresh-off-the-beach glow.
💡 Spa Tip: Blush looks best on healthy, hydrated skin. Keep your moisture barrier strong by exfoliating gently and layering a hydrating serum before makeup.
👁️ 3. Long, Lush Lashes
Nothing opens your eyes up faster than big, fluttery lashes — and it’s the perfect complement to a more minimal face.
✨ Whether you’re into lash extensions, tubing mascara, or just a really good lengthening formula, long lashes are the ultimate lazy girl summer glam trick.
💧 Humid day? Look for waterproof formulas that don’t flake, but don’t forget a gentle remover at night.
💋 4. Juicy, Glossy Pink Lips
Say goodbye to heavy lipstick and hello to glossy pink lips that feel light and look fresh. From soft bubblegum to vibrant watermelon shades, pink is the season’s go-to.
Bonus: Glosses with added hydration (like hyaluronic acid or jojoba oil) pull double duty by conditioning your lips all day.
💄 Fancy’s Tip: Exfoliate your lips with a damp washcloth or sugar scrub once a week for the smoothest canvas.
🧖♀️ Don’t Forget: Skin First, Makeup Second
Summer makeup is fun, but your skin is the real star. The heat, sweat, and sun can lead to clogged pores or dehydration fast — so don’t skip your end-of-day routine!
At the very least, always:
- Remove your makeup thoroughly (especially SPF + waterproof mascara)
- Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser
- Moisturize to restore hydration after sun exposure
- Use a lightweight facial oil or overnight mask for extra glow
