5 Tips for a Light Summer Makeup

Summer is the time we unwind and slow down our pace to enjoy even more the warm weather, the sea, and our holidays. This whole concept should be reflected in our makeup.

The intense and dark colours must be replaced with lighter ones to bring out the carelessness that runs through the summer. Parapharmacie gives you 5 basic tips for light, summer makeup beaming with beauty and glow!

1. Start with a proper hydration cream

Pick a light (oil-free) hydrating cream, even if you don’t have oily skin. They keep your skin hydrated throughout the day, without burdening it, and are the best summer makeup base.

2. Use a sunscreen with colour

This way you protect your skin from the harmful sun rays and cover possible imperfections. This way you won’t need extra makeup. Sunscreen cream is the most important thing for the face and is the base for a light summer look.

3. Highlight your cheekbones with rouge

If you don’t have the tan you want yet, no problem! With just a little rouge on the cheeks and some bronze, pink or peachy hues on the cheek bones, you will have the look you desire. The only thing you have to do is to start from the temples and move down to the cheekbones.

4. No overkills in the eyes

The eyes are the first thing that attracts attention, so we need to be very careful when applying makeup in this area. For example, prefer a light beige or pink eye shadow across the eyelid. If you prefer a more colourful makeup, make sure the rest of your face has more natural tones. For mascara, prefer brown if you have a light-coloured complexion. Generally, we try to avoid putting on mascara during the summer, or we put on as little as possible.

5. Light lips with lip oil/butter

Give your lips a light, summer look with lip oil or lip butter. They will give a glow to your lips without burdening them like lip glosses or lipsticks do, and they keep them hydrated while protecting them.
