Consider This Your Crash Course In Acing A Super Trendy Summer Makeup Look
The Bare Minimum Base
Thanks to a never-ending lockdown that made us reject all forms of over-the-top makeup looks which gave rise to minimalist makeup bases. The iteration sweeping the ‘gram right now are light-as-air skin that looks like skin, but a little better. Flaunting a natural-looking glow is a lot easier with double-duty products that protect and hydrate your skin while they colour-correct and cover. Tinted sunscreens, CC creams, or a serum-based foundation will do the trick for you leaving you with radiant, bouncy skin.
Graphic Eyeliners
Scrolling through our Instagram feed, we’re usually bombarded with the overtly “done” eyes that have been all the rage over the past couple of years. On the contrary, the iterations gaining steam right now are wonderfully minimal, fresh, and modern-looking graphic eyeliners. From bright-blue and slime-green to sparkly ombre lines floating in the cut crease – this graphic eyeliner trend gave way to experimenting with varied hues and styles. It’s the stylish way to give off major cool-girl vibes with barely any effort, which is always the goal, right?
Brown-Lined Pout
The one beauty fad that’s making the rounds in 2021 is the 90s brown lip liner trend. As much as we loved the look back when Jennifer Lopez and the Spice Girls were wearing it, the modern iterations are ultra-glam and are a great way to elevate even the most basic makeup look. Ready to take a time machine back to the ‘90s? Just prep your lips and focus the liner that’s 2 to 3 on the outer corner of your lips before lightly feathering it around the rest of the mouth. Fill it in with a peachy-nude hue and coat it with a gloss. All you need is this liner-lipstick duo to master the now modernized old-school lip trend.
Ultra-Glossy Lips
Beauty trends come and go, but some trends can stand the test of time, a super glossy pout is one of ‘em. The trend has spread like wildfire and the spotlight on fuller lips has been shining brighter than ever. Thanks to the ultimate beauty queens aka the Kardashians for their undeniable lip-centric influence. So if you’re looking for lip products to make your lips big and juicy, we’ve listed our fave pigmented gloss that will help you perfect that plumped-up pout.
Laminated Brows
Want Cara-Delevingne-esque brows? Well, that’s the dream, right? Brow lamination has taken over the beauty world and is basically a perm for your brows to give it a set, uniform shape for a longer period of time. Although it’s a semipermanent service usually done in salons if you prefer a softer and a temporary option you only need a super-strong brow gel to achieve those celeb-like brows. They will add oomph to your overall look in a jiffy.
Cream Blush For The Glow
If there’s one beauty product making waves right now, it would be a cream blush. Blush is unarguably one of the best products that give us naturally flushed cheeks. But nothing matches the trendy rose aesthetics and a sheen that a cream blush can bring to your zoom face. Cream formulas are amazing for giving your skin a dewy glow. It makes the entire face look alive by adding warmth to the skin tone and lifting up the cheeks. We recommend using this oil-infused for a suspiciously natural glow.
