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…
