So I’m a big fan of natural makeup in general, but especially during summer. I’m all about embracing a natural glow, freckles and some blush. You’re of course free to do whatever you want this summer, but to all of you who also enjoys a more natural makeup look, here’s a guide for you. What’s key in general though; less products and more you!
Natural Makeup Looks Summer 2019
Less is More
First of all, less is definitely more if you wanna go for as natural makeup look. Scale back on the layers of foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, setting spray, eyeshadows, lip pen, lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner, eyebrow pen and gel, false lashes and so on (;))! Just choose some key products that’s important to you and stick to them. Perhaps you’re okey with leaving the skin bare and only do a bit of concealer, and then focus more on long lashes and glossy lips? Or if the skin is everything to you, do a base and keep the rest light! The idea however is to not do all the steps, but to change things up a bit and let your face rest. So ask yourself what’s most important to you in your makeup and try to only do that. Or why not challenge yourself and go makeup free if you’re insecure about it?
Keep it Light
The makeup products you choose to do however, keep them light. Perhaps if your skin gets a bit tanned during summer, skip the foundation or do a light BB-cream. Instead of full eyeshadow, eyeliner and false lashes; do one or two colors and leave it at that. Only going for one color for your eyeshadow is actually a major beauty trend this year, so why not give that a try? As for the lips, strong colored ones are always fun but can be a bit intimidating to style sometimes, so try a shade closer to your natural one if you want to tone it down a bit!
Do it Natural
Another thing you can do is to highlight your most prominent features, but do it in a natural way. For instance, when you do your eyebrows: do a few strokes and not full Instagram-eyebrows. If you wanna accentuate your cheekbones, shade with some bronzer and not a complete contouring. You like your lips? Do a lip liner in a shade close to your own and fill in the lips a bit. Go for a highlighter that’s glowy but not that glittery, it’ll give a more natural result. Curl your lashes and add a coat of mascara and nothing more. You’ll have the elongating effect, but still make it natural! The key here is to reflect over what you wanna highlight and then do it in a light manner!

That’s great!! Xx
Agree! There is no better time to bring out all the pretty light hues than Spring/Summer. I love a good neutral look with a subtle pop of pink on the lips or cheeks!

Great tips! Yes I too do less makeup in the summer. I use self tanner so in the summer I just use a little tinted moisturizer and then play up my brows and lashes and use a little gloss

Oh that sounds like a great way of going natural yet a bit enhanced!! Xx
I love a fresh, glowy face in the summer! Less makeup is always nice when the heat and humidity start soaring!

Same here! A glowy makeup is the best! Xx
Great tips! I like to lessen the makeup anyway in the summer because it pretty much melts off when I step out the door!
Hahah that’s a struggle too! Xx
I’m all about natural make-up — that’s how I like it anyway! 🙂

Mia, we are totally on the same wavelength! I have been switching up my makeup so often now that skincare is my top priority. Focusing on enhancing ‘me’ and not building a new face is so much less time consuming. Sometimes you just need a touch of bronzer, not the whole contouring kit! Happy Thursday, Mia!

I’ve always appreciate more natural-looking makeup, although never more so than during the warmer months of the year – if only to feel lighter and more ‘free’ across the face, haha! Great suggestion to highlight more prominent features 🙂 Hope you’re having a fabulous week so far babe!!

Same here! Feels like a nice way of mixing things up a bit! Xx
I am a fan of these natural makeup looks especially because I’m not so into makeup myself. This is such a nice way of enhancing beauty.

So true! And you don’t need to be a makeup artist for it either! Xx
I’m always glad to see this as a trend as I’m not very good at applying makeup and don’t wear it much outside of the office, haha! I just wear BB cream or nothing depending on the day!
Hope that your week has been going well 🙂
