Summer is here and when choosing beauty looks there are two trends that crop up in magazines at the moment…whether to go bare and fresh faced OR take a hold of bold and beautiful colour!
In one corner, there’s the bare faced and au-natural look. Think simple, translucent base make up in sun kissed shades, alongside neutral tones of eyeshadow and light powder blushes that give you a hint of colour on those cheeks. You should be aiming to look like you could’ve strolled off a beach in California, fresh from a day surfing or light stroll through an English country park. Perfect for those days when you simply CBA-d to make an effort, and why should you? It’s Summer!
The other alternative is something that embraces the fun loving nature of the season. Bright and colourful make up is a trend that makes its way into our hearts every year. Neon shades in all kinds of beauty products evoke images of Ibiza ravers and hot nights out of the town. But it can also be great to add some rockstar edge alongside Boho looks at manic music festivals or some glamour at the poolside in tropical holiday towns.
Personally I’ll be aiming for something simpler this Summer – especially with the heat! But seeing as I’ve been trying to get more into my make up this year, a couple of unlikely shades of the rainbow may make their way into my beauty routine.
Which look will you be rocking this Summer? Bare-faced or Bold?
