Summer Nights | Makeup Edit




Summer days drifting away to oh oh the summer nights

I couldn’t' do a post about summer nights makeup without a reference to my favourite song from Grease. That being said, let's enter into the main topic of this post. I don't know about you but I find myself going out at night much more during the summer; I think the great weather, the amount of parties and events and the fact that most of my friends are on holiday make summer nights the best occasion to have some fun.
I find myself doing the same kind of makeup every time I go out at night (and due to that I have some tips as well) and I thought I'd share it with you.




SHIMMER, SHIMMER
I love a good shimmery eye shadow in the summer and there are two looks I do quite frequently. The first one is the simplest, I just apply the MAC Pigment in Tan all over my lid and crease; this gives your eyes such a nice sheen and makes your eye colour really pop. Whenever I do this look I like to pair it with a bold lip to make it a bit more fun. The second look is much more smoky and makes your eyes look extremely "sexy"; I like to use the Naked Smoky Palette from Urban Decay and experiment with the cool toned shades on the palette. The look I create varies every time I use the palette but I love it more and more every time. This is a great palette for smoky looks and it's one of my favourites.

MASCARA BUT NOT LASHES
I love my lashes to look long and voluminous and false lashes are the best thing to achieve that. However, I do not use them in the summer. The reasons for that are comfort, humidity and the fact that most summer events are outside and you don’t want to be in the bathroom checking your lashes every hour. To still achieve some long and thick lashes I like to use the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara; it is my all-time favourite and last all night without smudging.

LIQUID LIPSTICKS
Another essential for nights out are liquid lipsticks; you will be eating and drinking; you might be kissing and the only lip product that is food, drinks and kisses proof is liquid lipstick. I have a few I really like and I choose one or the other depending on the eye look I have gone for. If I have a simple and soft eye look, I'd mainly use the Nyx Suede Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Skies (which is extremely long-lasting). If I have something more intense on the eyes, I'd go for the Bare Minerals Wink Liquid Lipstick or the Sephora Collection liquid lipstick in Copper Blush.




These are my tips for summer night makeup. What are yours? Let me know in the comments…
