Light and Elegant Summer Makeup Tutorial

Hey everyone! Today, I'm going to show you how to enhance your complexion for a lightweight, fresh finish that's perfect for the summer. This natural summer makeup look is quick and easy, especially since there's no eyeshadow involved.

Follow along for a summer makeup tutorial that won't take you more than fifteen minutes.

1. Prepping the skin

Let's start with the base. I've already applied my favorite SPF50 moisturizer. This is great for making the skin look its best and prevent premature aging. 

2. Applying foundation

Now, for the foundation. I’ll be using a damp sponge that came in an adorable coffee pot-like container. When dampened, it becomes super soft and grows about a third in size.

Today, I'm using a luminous foundation. Because I have some color on my chest, I'll mix it with a bit of a sun-kissed face gel, which adds a bronzed glow. 

For deeper coverage in areas like the inner corners of the eyes, I use a more heavy-duty concealer with a small fluffy brush. This helps neutralize any redness and dark spots, making your eyes look more awake.

4. Brows

For brows, I’m sticking with my trusty brow pen in a cool shade. But I'm also going to try a new brow product with a tiny comb that coats every single hair and keeps them in place all day.

5. Contouring

I'm using my favorite contour stick for a nice, lightweight sculpt. It has a buttery texture that blends beautifully, especially if you haven't set your foundation yet.

Use a small brush to blend a bit of foundation into the bristles first; this will help with the blending process. You can always go over it with your damp sponge to perfect the look.

6. Set the face

To set my face, I'm using a finely milled powder for an airbrushed finish.

If you have an oily T-zone, you might want something more heavy-duty, but I prefer this one for its lightweight feel. I can always touch it up throughout the day, if needed.

7. Bronzing

Next up is bronzer. I'm using a creamy bronzer with an angled brush to lightly sculpt over the contoured areas. Tap off the excess product and lightly go over where you applied the contour so you don't apply too much product.

9. Blush

Moving back to the skin, I'm using a blush duo with both cream and powder options. Start with the cream blush on the back half of your cheeks, then set it with the matching powder blush for extra color and staying power.

10. Lips

For the lips, I'm keeping it light and summery with a gloss in a natural shade. I mix two colors, one on the top lip and one on the bottom, then blend them together for a beautiful glossy finish.

11. Faux freckles 

To complete the look, I'm adding a few faux freckles for a fun, summery vibe.
