7 Summer Makeup Trends & Tips to Dazzle Your 2022 - Purplle

Needless to say, that 2022 was quite a rollercoaster year - taking everyone on the nerve-wracking swings of unprecedented lockdowns, fear of succumbing to the virus, and the constant need to mask up every time you decided to step outside the house. Bounded by Zoom calls in both personal & professional spaces, following a skincare routine was non-negotiable.

With summer months around the corner, it’s time to ace your summer makeup game on! Curious to learn the latest makeup trends that will be in vogue this summer? Check out these top 7 summer makeup trends & tips. 

1. Play with Colourful Eyeliners 

Wearing the mask up till your nose highlights your eyes & brings out the best of your makeup skills. Ditch your black eyeliners this summer & add drama to your eye makeup with neon hues for floating liner looks. Colour your summer makeup looks by experimenting with colourful eyeliners on your lower lids, but be careful to buy non-smudge liners to avoid rubbing (& damaging) your eyes red.

2. Flaunt Natural Skin Makeup in Summer 

Minimum exposure to pollution & dust debris brought the best out of people’s skin in quarantine- encouraging them to invest better time & effort in a skincare routine. Minimal makeup will continue to trend this summer. Wear that velvety-dewy skin at the comfort of your house with a light foundation (use a beauty blender sponge to apply it evenly throughout the face & neck) & a toned compact.

3. Wear Bold Lips This Summer  

Lip makeup is going to make a bold comeback from its dormant 2020 mode. Colour your lips with bright pink, red, and orange lipsticks to keep up with vibrant summers! And incase you want to keep it suttle go for the nude shade lipsticks.Bold shades elevate your summer attire and makeup looks, boosts your confidence, and works best under all circumstances (virtual or in-person). 

Summer Makeup Tip:

Opt for a matte or high pigmented formula to avoid ugly-smudge cheeks when reliving your face from the mask.

4. Bloom your Apple Cheeks 

Wear eye-catchy & youthful complexion by adding a blush of pink to your cheeks! This global summer makeup trend has been around for a while. A must-try!  

Summer Makeup Tip: 

Apply the blush in an upward motion, starting at the apple cheek. Blend the blush well at the cheekbone to wear a “natural” summer makeup look. Contour your face with a glittery highlighter - apply it on the forehead, nose tip, cupid bow, brow bones, and cheekbones.  Check out how to perfect your contouring technique here!

5. Be Creative with Bold & Fascinating Eye Shadows 

“Tis the eye season!” - Team Purplle. 

This summer, it’s going to be about your eye makeup - whether you’re bounded by virtual calls or are heading out, your eyes will be the first organ to gain traction in either case. So why not play with your makeup colour palette & put some creativity to use? 

Many fashion and beauty influencers went viral on Instagram by participating in the emoji challenge in March 2021. While this isn’t feasible in your regular life, opting for a glitter graphic eye shadow and other colourful eye shadow looks will be a spot on decision!

6. Style up with Eye-Lashes

Whether you want to keep a natural, minimal look or opt for bold summer eye makeup, false eyelashes(falsies) will beautify your summer looks in either case. Longer extensions are in trend, but you can choose the size you are most comfortable wearing. You can also try curling your eyelashes using eyelash curlers!

7. Sport Bold Brows 

Grow your brows this summer! Bold brows have been the talk of the town & are super easy to achieve! Practice on the soap brow trick & keep yourself looped in this summer makeup fashion. 

Summer Makeup Tip:

For ones with medium to thick brows, damp a spoolie brush & start brushing it upwards & backwards on both your brows until you get the look you desire. For ones having thin brows, go the extra mile to colour them black with your eyebrow pencil.
