Want to look like a breath of fresh, summer air? This summer is all about looking natural while spicing things up with bright colours and glossy lips. Here are six makeup tips to help you look effortlessly flawless for the summer.
1.    It’s All About Golden Bronze Skin! To get a sun-kissed look like Jessical Alba, first prep your skin with sunscreen and then even out your skin with a tinted moisturizer. Next, apply a golden bronzer with a blush brush either all over your face or simply dust along the cheekbones. Choose a buildable golden bronzer, like M.A.C Golden, that matches your skin tone. Don’t dabble in a bronzer that’s a shade darker than your skin because a natural glow is what you need for those summer picnics, not dark streaks.
2.    Really Glossy Lips. Think sparkles! Summer is the season to take the glossy lip trend to the next level by keeping the colour neutral and vamping up the shine factor. You can rock the flirtatious, pouty look like Jessica Simpson with Lancome Juicy Tubes or M.A.C Lip Glass as both will give your lips that volumizing effect. Make sure your lips are crack-free before you apply any lip product by gently exfoliating them with a soft toothbrush and using a lip balm regularly.
3.    Natural Looking Lashes. A major faux pas is having lashes that look like “spider-legsâ€. Go for a formula that will give definition and volume to your lashes without clumping up. Kick your old mascara to the curb every six weeks because a mascara tube is the perfect incubator for nasty germs that could cause an infection. Last but not least, add some sizzle to your eyes with false lashes!
4.    The Brighter, The Better. Bored of the natural look? No problem. Summer is the best time to play with bright colours. Be adventurous and experiment with electric blues, lime greens and fuchsia pinks for your eye shadow. Choose from matte to shimmer and make a strong statement with a smokey eye that’s anything but black. The sky is your limit.
5. O That Iridescent Glow. To achieve that J.Lo glow that everyone’s looking for in the summer, lightly dust an iridescent powder over the areas on your face where light would normally hit, such as along your 
nose and cheekbones. Keep your skin well moisturized and your application light for that healthy, radiant J.Lo feel.
6. Tame The Brows. Having well-groomed brows will help you look polished all the time, even if you’re not wearing any makeup. Start with removing the unruly hairs to open up your eye area and keep their gorgeous shape with Make Up For Ever’s Eye Brow Gel. This product comes in a variety of shades and is water-proof so nothing will keep you from jumping into the waters at the next pool party!
