Bronzed Skin & Bold Lips: I think this is perfect for a weekend BBQ or pool party. The coverage is super sheer; pick a lightly tinted sunscreen, like COOLA Mineral Face SPF 30. I love Revlon’s COLORBURST Matte Balm lip crayons for bold lips that are easy to apply and stay put.
Glowing Skin: Illuminators can be tricky; I want to look fresh and dewy, not glittery. Benefit’s Watt’s Up is my favorite: the stick makes application really easy, and the cream-to-powder formula blends into your skin and leaves behind a luminous champagne glow.
Bright Eyeliner: This is really fun for a night out. You can create it with a bright eyeliner — Makeup Forever makes a great range of colors in their Aqua Eyes liner collection — or turn any bright eyeshadow into a long-lasting eyeliner by adding a couple drops of saline solution (the kind you use to clean your contact lenses) to a clean liner brush before dipping it in the shadow and applying.
Classic Cat Eye: A good swipe of black eyeliner is great year-round, but in the summer you can tone it down with sheer foundation, a hint of blush, and a light pink or peach lip. The trick is finding a liner that can survive the heat and humidity; my girlfriend who’s a professional makeup artist swears by Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner.
Barely There: This “no-makeup makeup” look is my favorite for every day: a simple golden eye paired with a nude lip and tinted moisturizer. I love Clinique Long Last Glosswear in Tenderheart and LORAC’s Little Black Eyeshadow Palette for recreating this easy natural face.
nice Make-Up ;-)
All these looks are so summery and fresh – I like the bright eyeliner one for something different!
love it!

I always prefer a more natural look myself but I love the pop of bright colour(s) that completely suit summer.
All of those looks are gorgeous!
I saw on a makeup artist’s tumblr that she dabs castor oil on her cheekbones for that shine like in the top pic.
Her handle is loandthecosmos
Keira, thanks for the tips! I am especially intrigued by Benefit’s Watt’s Up – I love the look of glowing skin, minus the “glitter effect”! Now if I could just wear a breezy straw hat to work, I’d be set! ;-)
