How to do light summer makeup. Summer makeup: photo, application rules, step by step instructions Fixing makeup

Beautiful summer makeup is not an easy task. It is not enough to perform it neatly and stylishly, in compliance with fashion trends, taking into account the peculiarities of your face, you also need to take care of its durability so that the cosmetics do not “float” from heat and humidity. From our article, you will learn about the basics of skin care in the hot summer, learn how to choose the right make-up products in the heat, get acquainted with the fashion trends of this summer.

Summer makeup features

In summer, the skin is especially exposed to high temperatures, ultraviolet rays, salty sea water. Therefore, before you understand the intricacies of fashionable summer makeup, you should pay special attention to facial care. Follow a few simple rules:

Postpone skin cleansing with scrubs and peels until autumn. After deep cleansing, the skin is especially vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation, you can get severe pigmentation or even sunburn. Opt for mild, alcohol-free cleansers.

Despite the fact that in hot weather the face shines and the skin secretes a lot of sebum, do not forget about moisturizing. Before makeup (preferably a couple of hours before), apply a light moisturizer.

Beauty care is needed not only from the outside, but also from the inside. It is very important to stay hydrated by drinking more water than usual. The lack of moisture is manifested by a deterioration in skin tone, the appearance of fine wrinkles.

Try not to touch the skin with dirty hands to avoid infection. The pores in the heat are enlarged, and it is easy to get into them "infection", which will provoke acne and redness.

It is useful to carry a can of thermal water with you at all times. It not only refreshes in the heat, but also additionally moisturizes the skin, gives it a well-groomed appearance, and removes signs of fatigue.

Choosing cosmetics for summer makeup

When choosing cosmetics, pay attention to the presence of UV filters in its composition. They protect the skin of the face from photoaging, which is manifested by irritation, dryness, peeling, pigmentation, and the appearance of wrinkles.

It is better to replace the usual foundation in the heat with light moisturizers with a tinting effect - and. Although they will not give 100% masking of skin imperfections, the make-up will look natural and will last throughout the day. BB and CC creams moisturize the skin while minimizing the appearance of oily sheen, protect against acne and the harmful effects of the sun. Alternatively, you can add a drop of foundation to your favorite moisturizer.

" Use a concealer to cover imperfections more thoroughly. Choose a shade that matches your skin tone, or a little lighter. "

When choosing a powder, you should prefer loose rather than compact. It does not cause a feeling of tightness, looks natural, does not clog into skin folds and does not clog pores. Fashionable summer makeup this summer welcomes the powder with the effect of radiance, containing particles of mother-of-pearl in its composition.

The main problem in how to make summer makeup is to ensure its durability. It is recommended to choose waterproof cosmetics (mascara, shadows, eyeliner), especially if you plan to stay in the heat for a long time.

Summer makeup 2016: the main fashion trends

This season there is no tanning fashion familiar to us. Light skin, freckles - these are the features that do not need to be masked, but on the contrary, should be emphasized and made the main focus in makeup.

Summer eye makeup looks beautiful when it is light and does not "overload" the face. The usual black mascara can be replaced with brown - this will give the look tenderness and naturalness. Shadows are best used with a light, crumbly texture and no more than one or two shades. They are applied along the lash line to the outer corner of the eyelid. A light touch under the eyebrow with shadows or a highlighter will refresh the look.

Lips in summer makeup look best in translucent shades. You can also use bright colors - wine, pink, coral, but give preference to lip glosses or soft mother-of-pearl lipsticks. Matte lipsticks in summer make-up are appropriate only in nude shades.

For a summer vacation or a colorful photo shoot, bright colored eye makeup, fashionable this season, is suitable: a combination of bright saturated shades of shadows and mascara of the same color: purple, turquoise, blue. The contrast eyeliner of the lower eyelid looks especially stylish and impressive.

- the only tool that needs to be applied in a thick layer in summer, try to use everything else to a minimum. What makeup rules to follow in the summer? Remember the main ones.

Summer makeup rules

Minimum makeup

Whether you're out on the town or hanging out at the beach, skip the base step and focus on concealer. They can, firstly, mask circles under the eyes, redness or imperfections of the skin, and secondly, do not worry that the tone will flow under the sun. Choose products with a dense texture and apply with your fingers - this way the makeup will last longer.

Try a tinted moisturizer

Feeling uncomfortable going out without makeup? Try a tinted moisturizer. It will even out skin tone, add radiance and not create a mask effect. Choose formulas with light-reflecting particles - they will not only illuminate the skin, but also form a thin, weightless layer.

Be careful with glitter

To add some radiance to your summer make-up, use a liquid highlighter. Apply a little on the top of the cheekbones, along the line of the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose. But do not highlight the tip of the nose with a highlighter - otherwise, the delicate glow can turn into a greasy shine.

Use multifunctional tools

For example, tint for lips and cheeks. Test the product first on the lips, and if it can withstand both light snacks and a full meal, then it will last just as long on the cheeks.

Mascara must be resistant

Waterproof mascara is the easiest option for summer, but it's best not to use it every day, especially if you have. The way out for you can be a beauty trick that makeup artists advise to use for those who are irritated by waterproof mascara. Paint the lower lashes with clear mascara and the upper lashes with clear mascara and then black to set the color and make the makeup last longer. And do not forget about such a segment of cosmetics as colored mascara: when, if not in the summer?

Focus on the eyes

Summer is the time to choose eyeshadows that grab attention, like bronze or rose gold. Make a hint of smoky eyes and blend them all over the eyelid, choose shades with shimmer, and textures - cream. The same shadows are suitable for evening makeup for the summer.

Don't forget lipstick

Choose tinted lip glosses or tints, preferably with SPF protection. And your favorite lipstick, better - with a high content of pigment, apply in a special way. Drive in the pigment with your fingertips, blot with a napkin and repeat these steps until you achieve the desired saturation.

Makeup preparation and tone

Start any makeup with cleansing - for this, for example, a tonic is suitable. To create a weightless finish, apply a tinted effect cream to the face with a sponge and blend. Add concealer under the eyes and also blend it with patting movements.

Face Correction

Make a face sculpting: apply cream blush on the “apples” of the cheeks, darken the sub-cheekbone area a little with the help of a sculptor.

Eye makeup

Lip makeup

Cover your lips with a long-lasting matte lipstick in a bright shade - coral or red.

More summer makeup ideas

Check out six more makeup ideas that won't surprise you on a hot summer day.

Eyeliner "second day"

This make-up was chosen to show the spring-summer collections of Cloe, Alberta Ferretti and Francesco Scognamiglio. To repeat it, it is not necessary to skip the evening stage of make-up removal. Apply dark shadows and eyeliner in a translucent layer so that the makeup does not turn out to be heavy, and in the heat, if it starts to spread, do not correct it - the effect will turn out exactly as the makeup artists intended.

It can be achieved, for example, with lip gloss (three makeup options with the effect of wet eyelids are in ours). Apply gloss with a synthetic brush or fingers to the entire surface of clean eyelids. Fix the result with waterproof mascara.

Stella Jean © fotoimedia/imaxtree

Choose shimmery textures and shades with peach or pink undertones, and apply bronzer where the sun's rays fall: on the back of the nose, the temporal zone and under the cheekbones. Blush or bronzer applied in this way creates the effect of a healthy, "childish" blush. If you don't have a bronzer with a shimmery texture, use a matte one: with the influence of temperature, it will take on the desired look.

Les Copains © fotoimedia/imaxtree

Gothic eyeliner

To get this makeup, remember the technique that models use. Line your eyes with a liner and then take a shower - the effect you get cannot be achieved by applying the product with a brush or fingers. The eyeliner will “float” a little, but the excess can be easily removed with a cotton swab. Thanks to this method, you do not have to try to create a "blurry" effect - the desired result can be achieved without any extra effort.

Alberta Ferretti © fotoimedia/imaxtree

Want to get those smoky ices that they become over a long evening? Remember the sequence of actions. Apply shimmer shadows on the upper and lower eyelids, complement your makeup with brown or black, paint over your eyelashes with mascara and go outside - under the influence of temperature, smoky ice will become exactly as it should be.

kissed by the sun

Left your lipstick in the car or in the sun? This is not a reason to be upset. To keep the product from falling out, create a bright eye makeup: apply red or coral lipstick as shadows and blend over the moving eyelid and in the crease.

Highlighters

Highlighting Powder, Albatros, NARS

Nars is loved for the legendary blush with an intriguing shade name - Orgasm, and also for persistent tonal foundations. But the highlighter from Francois Nars turned out to be luxurious! Impressive packaging that does not leave you a chance to put the product in the "passing" section, delicate shine and durability - the product stays on the cheekbones all day long.

The texture of the highlighter is dry and quite pigmented. I apply it with a brush and lightly knock the product off the villi so as not to turn into a Christmas tree: my desire is to achieve a slight glow.

The product blends very easily and leaves a golden-bluish finish, but it looks very natural. You will definitely like the tool if you are familiar with the pigment in the Vanilla M.A.C shade - the colors are very similar.

Price: 2 549 rubles.

Highlighter Soft Sparkler shade 53, Inglot

Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy

If I use the previous NARS highlighter on special occasions, it is important to take it off the shelf with the most valuable beauty items, then this Inglot product has already taken root in my bag. Firstly, the highlighter is very compact, easy to apply with fingertips and will help out when you need to mask signs of fatigue.

It is dry, but firm, so it does not crumble. I use it in the morning when I'm rushing to work and in the evening when I want to freshen up my look. The tool leaves a pronounced radiant finish with the smallest shimmer, but do not be afraid to apply it during the day - your friends will definitely replace the beautiful glow of the skin at lunch on the terrace. A huge plus means: you can apply on the face, body and even eyelids instead of shadows!

Price: 2 100 rubles.

Shimmering powder-highlighter Powder Highlighter, shade Dandelion Twinkle, Benefit

A lovely new product from the most playful brand in the world - a delicate rose gold highlighter that continues the successful Dandelion line. If the original blush is a cool dusty pink color, then the highlighter came out rather warm, golden peach. Very delicate texture and gentle effect on the skin.

Price: 2 500 rubles.

Highlighter Freedom HD Highlihter Trio JLO, Inglot

With all my heart I love universal products - they are easy to use, give room for imagination (shades can be easily mixed) and fit even in the smallest suitcase. The new highlighter from the limited edition Inglot will definitely stay with me for the whole summer - with it you can not only give the skin a delicate glow that seems to come from "from the inside", but also favorably emphasize the tan and refresh the image. It has a very pleasant silky texture. It is easily shaded and does not dust. She applied blush on the apples of her cheeks, bronzer on the cheekbones and highlighter on the protruding areas of the face: even the simplest makeup sparkled with new colors. But I did not stop there - I mixed all the shades with a fluffy brush and applied to the cheekbones, shading to the temples. The result is a light draping effect with a glow - a great option to emphasize the image in the summer.

Price: 1 750 rubles.

Cream highlighter Gloire D "Amour, Vivienne Sabo

In summer, our skin needs radiance more than ever, but it should be subtle and barely noticeable (as if your skin always looks fresh and rested). The highlighter does not contain large shimmer and sparkles, but there are moisturizing ingredients that smooth fine wrinkles and create a lifting effect.

I liked adding the product to a light foundation (the best ones are in ours) - the effect of skin glow “from the inside” is obtained.

I also apply it pointwise on the areas of highlighting - under the eyebrow and in the inner corner of the eye, which makes the look shining, and any makeup - unusual.

Price: about 400 rubles.

Brush-cream for strobing Illuminating Brush, Dr. Jart+

Choice of BeautyHack Special Correspondent Moore Soboleva

This thing has a wide brush applicator (easy to remove for washing), and the highlighter itself is a very soft shimmery cream that can be applied all over the face as a primer. In order to achieve a real DAT GLOW, you will have to apply several layers.

Price: 4 875 rubles.

Primers

Makeup base with SPF factor Urban Defense Complexion Primer, Urban Decay

BeautyHack Editor's Choice Daria Sizova

In my opinion, a primer with SPF is a real "spy find". Firstly, you don’t need to apply additional protection to your face (and in hot weather, you still can’t do without a primer if you don’t want your eye makeup to end up in the chin area). Secondly, the primer really cares for the skin of the face, smoothing it and making it velvety to the touch.

I apply the product even if I don’t use foundation - after a moisturizer, I evenly distribute the gel texture of the primer with my fingertips, and in a few minutes I’m ready to leave the house! The skin becomes even and smooth, and the sun's rays will not be able to harm it (the product has a moderate protection factor of 30, that is, it is loose in texture, but it also protects perfectly!).

Makeup also lasts until the end of the day, and the skin does not become dry - it contains sesame oil, squalane and tomato extract.

Price: 2 990 rub.

Moisturizing face primer Photo Finish Primerzier, Smashbox

BeautyHack Editor's Choice Daria Sizova

Primers for me are a vital element of makeup. I dearly love universal products: they save time and allow you to apply less makeup on your face. The new primer from Smashbox does exactly that: it simultaneously moisturizes the skin, saturating it with moisture, and prepares it for applying makeup. Owners of oily skin - note, and dry - a strong recommendation for testing. You can’t do without a moisturizer after washing your face in the morning, but the product will save your skin from overdrying during the day.

There is no need to talk about the durability of makeup after use: I notice that makeup artists often use this primer on set before makeup, which means that it guarantees 1000% durability even in the hot season.

Price: 2 590 rub.

Cream-base for the face Vitamin Enriched Face Base, Bobbi Brown

The choice of independent makeup artist Maria Pyrenkova

Excellent for normal and combination skin, it moisturizes and nourishes, has a very pleasant creamy formula and a delicate aroma of grapefruit and geranium. Even matting foundation lays on this base evenly and blends perfectly. Due to shea butter and vitamins in the composition, it can replace a moisturizer if it is suddenly not at hand.

Price: 4 520 rubles.

Makeup base Skin Tone Face Base, Kiko Milano

Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova

Usually my skin tone jumps in amplitude from moldy porcelain to icteric blue. Therefore, I was in a desperate search for a remedy that could neutralize and prevent it. My prayers were answered and the base from Kiko Milano fell into my hands.

The tool has a pale green color, but do not be alarmed, when applied, it instantly merges with skin color, neutralizing redness. The foundation has a pleasant texture, which is evenly distributed over the face (I used my fingertips for application). It is comfortable to walk with him during the day. I think that the tool will come in handy for me in the summer, when my face starts to turn red from the heat.

Price: 900 rubles.

Aqua base for make-up Aqua Primer, Rouge Bunny Rouge

BeautyHack Editor's Choice Yulia Kozoliy

The Rouge Bunny Rouge primer has a very gentle gel texture that makes it look like a classic facial. And the composition of the product is “percussive”, so it gives not only a visual effect. 70% primer is water. The remaining 30% is divided between sea buckthorn extract, orris root, saccharide isomerate, vitamins A and E. All these components smooth and moisturize. And bisabolol soothes the skin, so I recommend a primer for girls suffering from inflammation and irritation. Still, if you apply a primer to problem skin, then only one that cares for it, and does not try to mask imperfections.

Aqua Primer can be mixed with foundation and applied to the eyelids as a base. After the face looks moisturized, shine does not appear during the day. For me, the main advantage was the obvious durability of makeup: usually at the end of the day I got used to correcting the tone, because my face looked tired after 8 hours of work at the computer. Aqua Primer seems to fix the tone and the desired effect of gloss and healthy glow remains until the end of the day (even if you are wearing the most nude of all nude makeup).

The product is enclosed in a heavy glass bottle, with the use of which it is very pleasant to start the morning in the bathroom!

Price: 4 240 rubles.

Makeup base Hydra Veil Primer, Illamasqua

Finding a good moisturizing primer is also not as easy as it might seem, although almost every brand has them. One of the last ones I liked was the Hydra Veil Primer of the well-known in narrow circles British brand of unusual cosmetics Illamasqua. In addition to moisturizing, the base attracts attention with its unusual texture, which resembles real jelly. It should be typed with the spoon attached to it - the coolest thing is that the smooth surface of the texture is restored after a couple of minutes after the “invasion”.

Price: 2 727 rubles.

Foundation

Moisturizing tint fluid with the effect of natural radiance Les Beiges Sheer Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer, Chanel

BeautyHack Editor's Choice Daria Sizova

The first thing I liked about the product was its compact packaging and ease of application. The fluid has a very light texture, thanks to which only a slightly perceptible shade remains on the face, which evens out skin tone and does not overload the face at all. A big bonus - the product moisturizes, creating a velvety finish. And the small radiant particles in the composition make the face literally shine from the inside, as if you had just returned from a long vacation (even if you slept for only a few hours).

Price: about 2,700 rubles.

Foundation Touche Éclat All-in-One Glow, Yves Saint Laurent

Choice of senior editor of BeautyHack Anastasia Speranskaya

A long-awaited addition to the Touche Éclat line: now the highlighter brush has a "sister" - the All-in-One Glow foundation, ideal for creating the effect of wet skin. The secret of the novelty lies in its water base - the product is really 50% water and instantly merges with the skin.

The texture of the novelty is unique: the cream becomes liquid on the skin and evens out the complexion without the effect of a mask. Moisturizing, radiance and the effect of “my skin, only better” - why not add a new product to the summer wish-list?

Price: 3 420 rubles.

onal mousse Face Fabric Foundation, Giorgio Armani

BeautyHack Editor's Choice Daria Sizova

I have a long-standing love with tonal products - imperfections on the face do not allow me to get by with just a light base with radiance and concealer, as the trends of this season dictate to us. I'm always looking for lightweight foundations that won't look like a mask on my face and will suit my fair skin tone. I was familiar with the brand legend before the relaunch, but the updated formula left even more positive impressions. Why?

Tonal mousse is the perfect tool if you want to create the effect of sleek, even skin on your face. And she looks like you haven't put on makeup at all. The product has a light texture and a very pleasant floral scent that disappears quickly after application. The consistency is more like a moisturizer - I spread it with my fingers all over my face, avoiding the area under the eyes. But with a brush and a beauty blender, the tool also “made friends”. The shade adapts to your skin tone in 2 minutes, making it velvety to the touch. Despite the light texture, the product perfectly covers imperfections and redness - the concealer was needed only to hide dark circles (look for the best in ours).

It feels like soft cotton. I think it's all about the 3D technology that was used to develop the formula: imperfections seem to be smoothed out. If there are flakes on the skin, do not worry - the tool will not emphasize them. Mousse is perfect for the hot season - a light texture that will not "leak" from the face. Bonus - it doesn't need to be powdered.

Two additional pluses are consumption and durability. On my face, the product lasted 8 long working hours. A small pea is enough for one use - I think the product will linger in my cosmetic bag for a long time.

Price: 2 635 rubles.

CC cream Nordic Nude Natural Perfection SPF 25, Lumene

BeautyHack Editor's Choice Natalia Kapitsa

When, after a walk, you feel as if you have been in a sauna, the dense foundation is retired, giving way to the SS. Lumene products have long been firmly established in the cosmetic bags of famous makeup artists, and now - in mine. Natural Perfection has an airy texture - just one drop is needed to achieve a natural effect and light toning. The product is almost odorless, which is important for allergy sufferers. But despite the lightness, the cream perfectly masks small rashes and redness and lasts throughout the day - it didn’t “float away” even after visiting the gym.

Price: 1 620 rub.

BB drops, Erborian

The choice of blogger Veronika Zabrovskaya

New BB drops will improve your favorite day cream and take it to the next level! You will receive both the usual high-quality care and a decorative effect. This is not a standalone product, but an enriching elixir that gives an even tone, all imperfections become less noticeable, while it slightly tightens the pores and the skin looks smoother and more radiant. It is important to note that BB drops are not just a concentrated tone: the product contains ginseng extract, which smoothes the skin and makes it softer and more even! A great novelty - I love using drops on weekends when I don't need to "paint my face", but I want to be impossibly fresh and beautiful!

Price: 2 800 rubles.

Vinoperfect Radiance Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20, Caudalie

Choice of senior editor of BeautyHack Anastasia Speranskaya

What could be better than a product that combines care and makeup? Caudalie Tinting Fluid conceals imperfections while moisturizing and soothing the skin. Sun protection in the form of SPF 20 in spring and summer will not be superfluous - when you do not want to apply sticky sunscreens every day, make-up with UV filters helps out.

The fluid resembles whipped cream - on the skin it turns into a light, completely invisible veil. Hiding serious perfection is still entrusted to the concealer - the Caudalie product promises an even complexion and radiance, and not top-level masking. The composition contains the patented component viniferin, which helps fight age spots, and hyaluronic acid, but you will not find oils there - this means that the face will not treacherously shine during the day.

Price: 3 095 rubles.

CC cream Color Control 3en1, Soskin

Editor's choice at BeautyHack by Natalia Kapitsa

I am the most "ardent" cosmetic skeptic. I thought that the cream cannot both moisturize and tone at the same time: either it does one thing or does nothing. If I saw such an inscription on the packaging, I passed by without looking back. But in the depths of my soul I always knew: sooner or later the moment will come when my categoricalness will fail.

With the advent of Soskin CC cream on the shelf, skepticism has significantly diminished. The tool of the French brand is really a “multi-station”: it evens out the tone, and masks redness, and moisturizes, and tightens. The cream has the most delicate texture of a banana soufflé - it melts on the skin. After application, it seems that I used a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid in the composition, and not a makeup product.

Color Control does not clog pores - owners of oily skin will understand me. The composition contains SPF - a filter that protects against UVA and UVB rays: you can safely apply before going to the beach (although I prefer to go there with a "naked" face). The composition deserves a separate applause. Among the ingredients I found vitamin E, algae extract, essential oil, mineral pigments, silicon, polysaccharides - a great nutritional cocktail for the summer!

Price: 2 600 rubles.

BB-cream Ctrl-A Beauty Balm, Dr.Jart+

Editor's Choicebeauty hack Natalia Kapitsa

Another surprise on the list of beauty discoveries this year. The cream is ideal for oily skin - not only tones, but also controls the activity of the sebaceous glands. After a week of using Ctrl-A Beauty Balm "wiped" small rashes from the face - a serious competitor for a whole shelf of skin care products, which it will leave far behind in terms of effectiveness. The cream has a weightless texture - it is easy to apply with fingertips, it has a medium coverage and good sun protection. It does not clog pores, does not dry the skin, does not shine, laying down with a “powdery”, matte haze. Ctrl-A Beauty Balm takes pride of place in your vacation suitcase!

Price: 2 400 rubles.

BB cream Aqua BB SPF 40, 3Lab

Choice of mainBeautyHack editor Karina Andreeva

A great option and alternative to foundation in the summer (and a godsend for a vacation by the sea!). Firstly, it is easily and quickly applied with a small pad and evenly distributed in several movements.

Secondly, I have dry skin, and this cushion does not emphasize peeling - on the contrary, it moisturizes. The product has a rich caring composition: abyssin (reduces irritation on sensitive skin and fights the aggressive effects of ultraviolet rays; rose water (for moisturizing); matrixyl 3000 (a combination of peptides that give a noticeable lifting effect); beta-glucan (an ingredient that is released from oats and protects the skin from UV radiation and promotes rapid healing); sodium hyaluronate (responsible for cellular protection and hydration); adenosine (increases protein and DNA synthesis in dermal cells); licorice root extract (has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties).

This cushion gives me the same effect when I mix foundation with my favorite day cream: great hydration! Thirdly, an excellent SPF 40 filter, which perfectly protects my fair skin at sea and does not let it burn. I took a shade darker (3) - so that I can use it when a tan appears.

Price: 10 860 rubles.

BB cream Nude, Erborian

The choice of BeautyHack Editor-in-Chief Karina Andreeva

I have been searching for the best foundation for a long time. I like some, but then they start to get bored, so I changed them to something new almost every month. But after trying this BB cream in January, which I heard about more than once from many makeup gurus, I fell in love once and for all and have been using this product regularly for the fourth time. Why do I love him?

Firstly, the shade is a godsend for girls with very fair skin. It does not turn yellow, does not give the effect of a “pale face”, and in the first ten minutes it adapts to your natural tone.

Secondly, the product is ideal for those who, like me, suffer from dryness (you can read how I care for dry skin): BB cream does not emphasize peeling, but rather works as a day cream and moisturizes the skin. As part of a six-year-old Korean ginseng root, which stimulates microcirculation and activates the natural production of collagen; ginger, which cleanses and tones the skin; licorice, which relieves redness and works as an antioxidant.

Thirdly, a primer is not needed before this remedy - the cream is evenly distributed with fingertips or a beauty blender in a matter of seconds and really lasts up to the promised 12 hours, after which it is easily removed with a cleansing gel.

Fourthly, the cream is very convenient for flights. I am not a supporter of make-up on the plane, but often after arrival you get “from the ship to the ball”, so this cream is used. It gives the effect of a "second skin" and allows it to breathe, refreshing the face. I have heard more than once: “How do you look good without makeup after the flight!”. It's great that people around don't even notice the presence of BB cream on the face, but it is there, and it will help out more than once - it will definitely hide minor imperfections. Fifthly, the SPF factor is 25: just what you need in your vacation makeup bag (especially if you are going to the sea!). And paired with the brand's Glow Crème (I'm talking about it), you can get the desired Photoshop effect.

Price: 3 500 rubles.

Moisturizing tonal fluid Pure Light, Yves Rocher

The choice of BeautyHack SMM manager Alexandra Grishina

I appreciated the super-handy pipette-shaped dispenser - although it is a small, but important touch in the packaging of the product. What is its plus: the fluid is consumed economically and is conveniently applied. If you use a brush or sponge, your hands will always be clean, they do not need to be rubbed off the remnants of foundation. This saves time in the morning, which means you can sleep for 5-10 minutes longer - an obvious bonus! But first of all, I was interested in the mysterious word "edulis" in the name of the remedy. The cellular water of this plant helps to accumulate moisture in all layers of the skin and retain it for a long time for long-term hydration. The product does not contain alcohol, parabens and silicones.

The fluid, unlike foundation, has a very thin and barely noticeable coating, but it does an excellent job of masking imperfections. I advise those who are looking at a budget and weightless foundation to pay attention to this new product.

Price: 970 rubles.

Price: 7 700 rubles.

Pencil For eyebrowsBrow Beater Microfine Brow Pencil and Brush, Warm Brown, Urban Decay

Choice of Special Correspondentbeauty hack Asya Zabavskaya

If nature hasn't blessed you with lush and thick eyebrows, don't be discouraged - the Urban Decay pencil will do it for her. The tool is ideal for girls who need to fill in the "gaps" - a thin stylus will draw individual hairs so that they look natural.

The good news is your new brows won't go home before you do, and there's a great brush on the other end of the product. I draw eyebrows with a pencil and shade the pigment in the direction of hair growth - a very natural effect is obtained.

Price: 1 600 rubles.

Persistent pencil For eyebrowsLong-Lasting Brow Liner Alchem, Rouge Bunny Rouge

ChoiceSMM-managerbeauty hackAlexandra Grishina

When it comes to brow makeup, I prefer dry textured products. Yes, they are more difficult to apply (requires “jewelry” and painstaking work with a brush), and for holidays you have to collect a separate cosmetic bag with eyebrow products. But this pencil has replaced a whole beauty arsenal for me.

The tool has a thin automatic lead - this means that it does not need to be sharpened and you can create a line of any thickness (according to your mood). A light texture based on wax, as if it glides over the eyebrows, blending in no time. The pigment is bright, but not too dark - a matte finish and a natural effect is guaranteed! But most importantly - water resistance: the pencil has passed the test of rain and sea spray.

Price: 2 080 rub.

This make-up is suitable primarily as a daytime option. To make it evening, just add bright lipstick and draw arrows.

How to do light makeup

The basis of any, even the fastest and simplest make-up, is a high-quality tone. So that's where you need to start. In conditions of limited time, it is better to pay less attention to the eyes and lips, but to achieve perfectly even skin. Start with a concealer that will help quickly cover problem areas, pimples and redness. Then apply your base foundation. This can be done using a drop-shaped sponge, which allows you to apply a tone very quickly and with high quality. In the summer, use a light foundation, such as a BB cream with a sun protection factor. Leave heavy tonal foundations for winter.
If you have already tanned, use bronzer, gently applying it to all protruding surfaces of the face: forehead, nose tip and cheekbones. Don't forget to brush over your neck.
The next step is blush. Using a wide brush, apply some peach or light pink blush to your cheekbones. Don't get carried away too much, it definitely won't help you do a beautiful light makeup! If you still have a little time left, use a highlighter for the cheekbones and check marks above the upper lip.
Now - eyebrows. This season, they should be given the most attention. You can "forget" about mascara, eye shadow and lipstick if you create the perfect complexion and work on your eyebrows. Shape them with a special brush and touch them up with eye shadow or a pencil.
Mascara will help to make light eye makeup. For daytime makeup, not only black, but also brown is suitable. You should not apply it in several layers, one or two will be enough to make the eyes brighter, but at the same time remain within the framework of naturalness. Eyeliner and bright shadows will not be needed for light makeup. If you still want to add something else, use a white pencil for the lower eyelid, as well as an eyeshadow palette in a neutral shade, such as beige.
The last step is the lips. You can easily make a beautiful make-up with the help of gloss or “every day” caring lipstick, which will not weigh down the make-up and add color.

It is in summer that most girls want to be beautiful. Hot weather, precipitation, and a busy rhythm of the day interfere with this. The perfect summer make-up not only hides imperfections and emphasizes the dignity. It also creates a feeling of comfort and lightness. Below are the top makeup trends for summer 2016.

Summer makeup tips

Products with a dense texture should be postponed until winter. In summer, light cosmetic products are held in high esteem. It is better to remove a cream saturated with useful vitamins for the time being or find a replacement for it. In hot weather, it is better to use a moisturizer. At the same time, it should have a slight matting effect.

Thick cream is poorly absorbed, in summer weather makes the face shine.

It is recommended to prefer a light gel to it. In the summer of 2016, it is fashionable to use two-in-one products. For example, the same product can do two things: matte and moisturize. Similar products are available in all price categories.

In the summer months, the face tans, so you need to select the foundation taking this factor into account. In order for the skin to look fresh and healthy, it is recommended to take a shade one tone lighter. If the face does not tan at all, it is better to prefer products with pinkish pigments.

For tanned or naturally dark skin, foundations with yellow pigment are suitable. In summer, it is undesirable to use powder, so the cream should not create a greasy shine. The foundation should be light and weightless.

just skin

A feature of the style is the complete absence of a tonal foundation on the face. In summer, this is very useful: the skin seems to “breathe”. But only girls with a perfect face can afford to do without a foundation. If there are redness, oily sheen, it is better to apply the foundation.

Just skin implies limitations in cosmetics. Eyelashes can be lightly touched with mascara, and lips with a colorless gloss or lipstick. It is not recommended to use shadows, blush, pencils.
