What are the spring-summer 2021 makeup trends?

This summer, focus on a glowy complexion and vibrant colors to brighten your face. Here are some major makeup trends for the 2021 summer season.

A Fresh and Radiant Complexion: Embrace the Glow

The key word this season is light! To counter the gloomy mood caused by the health crisis, show off a radiant complexion to add a touch of brightness to your daily life. Unlike the heavily contoured and perfected look, this trend embraces imperfections as long as your skin looks fresh and luminous.

Use your usual moisturizer, then switch your foundation for a lighter fluid or tint. Apply a creamy bronzer for a healthy glow. Mix a few drops of glow serum with your tint for extra radiance. Avoid heavy concealers; let your skin breathe with light textures. Finish with a setting spray for all-day wear.

The Return of Blush!

Enhance your glowy complexion with a touch of blush on the cheeks, nose, cupid's bow, and under the brow using the blush draping technique. Sculpt your face with rosy or orangey blushes. You can also use glossy lipstick for a fresh, fruity touch. This summer's big trend: peachy skin! Go for orangey blushes paired with light, warm, and tangy glosses.

A Delicious Mouth with Long-Lasting Lipsticks

Since face masks are still in use, opt for long-lasting lipsticks that won't smudge. Choose vibrant colors like fuchsia, coral, or rosewood. For a "syrupy" look, add a clear gloss over your colored lipstick.

Glossy or Electric Eyes

Continue the glowy theme with shimmery pink and orange eyeshadows applied in a halo on the eyelids. Add mascara for intensity. For a bold look, try electric colors like indigo blue, neon yellow, intense red, or electric green. Brown eyes look great with blue and green, green eyes with pink and purple, and blue eyes with orange and gold hues.
