The weather is getting hotter but so can your look! As seen on the runways and red carpets, these summer beauty trends will help shake things up a bit. Glamour Magazine compared these looks on models and celebrities, but they’re easy enough to try at home for an effortless, bold summer style.
1. The Side Braid. Think of it as a modern twist on the ‘Dorothy’. This style works best on long hair, and looks even better if it’s a little messy. No need for perfection, just pull hair loosely to one side and make a low braid by your neck. You can add a bow or headband to embellish this look.
2. Bright Eyes. Bold and bright colors are making a comeback. But this is not an 80’s flashback. This trend works best using bright or jewel-toned eyeliners or eye shadows to line the eye. So, think- sapphire or turquoise colored liquid liner, not purple shadow up to the brow.
3. The Milkmaid Braid. This look resembles a braided crown and may require an extra set of hands, unless you are a skilled braider. It also only works with hair long enough to wrap around your head. Start by parting your hair across your head behind both ears and braiding a large section of hair on one side, pull it across to the other side and pin it. You can tuck the rest of your hair back into a messy bun or leave it down and add beachy waves.
4. Beachy Waves. Loose mermaid-like waves, look naturally beautiful and effortless. There are a few ways to achieve this look. The easier methods would be sleeping in a braid or twisted bun the night before, or if you have time you can wrap sections of your hair around a large-barreled curling iron.
5. Pink Lips. A bright pop of pink on your pout is this summer’s version of the red lip. Katy Perry and Lauren Conrad pull this look off brilliantly.
6. Faux Bob. Ever wanted to cut your hair, but think you might regret it? Well, with this hairstyle trend you can try out a short-do without chopping everything off. By pinning or tucking hair into a low messy bun, you can pull out shorter, loose pieces to frame your face. Curl if you desire. This works best with layered haircuts.
7. Green Eye Shadow. A muted green shade like Humid by MAC, looks great blended with a soft black pencil liner, to make for an updated version of the smoky eye.
8. Dark Inner Eyeshadow. An intense, dramatic look for fierce smokey eyes. Sweep dark shadow on the inner corners of eyes and up to inside bottom of brow for a daring look like Lady Gaga.
9. High Bun. The messy bun is back. But this time, it has moved. The new beauty trend of the high bun is a non-polished looking bun that sits on top of the head.
10. Lower Lashes. Channel Twiggy for this retro-inspired look. The bold bottom lashes can be drawn on with eyeliner or false lashes can be applied. Either way, it’s the wide-eyed doll face look we’re aiming for.
And of course you can’t forget, ‘you’re never fully dressed without a smile!’ It’s the ultimate summer accessory.
