2. Perfect Summer Glow
The sun and the sand are all we dream of from autumn to spring. And of course, looking fabulous in a perfect summer glow once the summer days set in. You can achieve the perfect summer glow and create this coveted look with the right makeup. First, keep your face clean and moisturized, then apply light sunscreen. Apply minimal makeup, say with BB cream and a swipe of a bronzer. Finish off with a highlighter and use loose powder to set the makeup in.
3. Bright Summer Pastels
It’s difficult for the fair-skinned to get the summer glow unless you’ve been out most days as soon as the sun comes out in spring. Don’t despair, when you can use your current shade to your advantage. Also, there’s nothing makeup can’t do if you know how to work with it. If the bronze glow won’t work for you, the brightening pastels certainly will. Work with your lips, eyes, and cheekbones using pastel shades. Follow these tips to get a bright summer pastel glow for your beach holiday.
4. Sweat Proof Summer Makeup
