Summer make-up inspirations

I have noticed that the make-up I have is quite heavy and it doesn't make me look as I want to. Since summer is here I want to update it. 

I love glowing and healthy skin and for me, the less make-up the better. I will rather go for a little bit of concealer where I need, mascara, bright lipstick and some blush than a caky face with foundation, powder, concealer, etc... And it is a fact that a healthy skin is the perfect base for a beautiful make-up, so investing on a good face wash, moisturizing cream with SPF and some face mask is the first step. And a healthy diet, of course.

I have been trying to replace the heavy dutty foundations and powders with tinted moisturizers that give my skin a glowy finish without making it oily. And I like liquid or creamy blushes more than powder ones because the powder blushes make the make up heavier.
I am still researching products, so I will post when I find good ones for this.


So, after saying all this, I would like to show you some make-up inspirations for summer.


This result is exactly what I want to achieve. I love it how it looks so natural and glowy. Her eyebrows are also amazing, they are big and well filled and not exagerated. Her lips look like they only have a balm, they might have a slight tint, but not more. And the eyes are the center of attention in this make-up, with a beautiful thin cat eye and a thick layer of mascara. I will probably be wearing this the hole summer! (Or trying to)




This make-up is also very nice. I love the light use of bronzer that makes it look like a natural tan. This bronzer is contouring the face and used as a blush. The face is glowy and the contrast between the highlight and the bronzer makes it special. I also love the no-effort eye shadow, it looks like a layer of a dark eye shadow all around the eye, resembling a cat eye. The only thing I would change is the lip color, I would probably go for a bright one or for a lip balm, like on the previous one. 





I love this one. This is a no make-up make-up. A natural looking skin with just a bit of concealing, a bright lip and some eye pencil and mascara. I must say that I love a bright color lip, specially for dark complexion skin!




This is also a favorite. I love this lip color, I 'm looking for it. Her skin looks natural, with a light foundation and some concealing. A tiny bit of blush, which gives a beautiful and almost unoticeble effect, looking natural. A thick layer of mascara and done! 




I hope these summer looks inspire you as much as they inspired me! These are all easy and fast make-up looks that will make you look prettier without having to do much. You will be looking modern and  effortlessly beautiful. This kind of make-up will also not melt on your face with this hot weather. 


And I hope you like the post.
