How to Create a Simple Summer Glow Makeup Look
Ready to glow this summer? This guide is for anyone looking to create a fresh, natural makeup look perfect for sunny outings.
The ritual, step by step
- Prep Your Skin Start with clean, moisturised skin. Apply a lightweight sunscreen to protect your skin while adding hydration, creating the perfect base for your makeup.
- Use a Tinted Moisturiser Swap your heavy foundation for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream. This will provide light coverage and a natural glow without feeling cakey.
- Add Cream Blush Apply a cream blush to the apples of your cheeks for a natural flush. Cream products blend beautifully into the skin, giving a more radiant finish.
- Highlight Strategically Use a cream or liquid highlighter on the high points of your face—cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose—for that sun-kissed glow.
- Finish with a Glossy Lip Opt for a tinted lip balm or gloss to keep your lips hydrated and give them a fresh, juicy look. Choose shades that complement your skin tone.
Where people go wrong
Many people overdo the foundation, which can look heavy in summer heat. Avoid using matte products, as they can dull your glow. Also, be cautious with powder; too much can lead to a cakey appearance.
