Makeup trends for summer 2017
Summer 2017 is here, and now is a great time to think about what makeup trends will be in this season and how you can work them into your makeup routine. Every year brings new fashions and new aesthetic influences, and 2017 is no exception. So, when the time comes for you to pull together your Chanel mascara and your Terracotta from Guerlain, here are just some of the looks that you could experiment with now that the sun has come out…


One thing that has definitely impacted the beauty and fashion scenes in recent years is the advent of the selfie. During the season of fun in the sun, many girls around the world will be making sure that they look their best in front of a camera. This will place a heavy emphasis on smooth skin: Elizabeth Arden concealers will be in hot demand.


Lipstick approaches are set to go in two very different directions this Summer. On the one hand, it will be en vogue to go minimalistic when it comes to make-up. On the other, the striking and easy-to-achieve combination of bright lips against an otherwise unadorned face will be very much in fashion. Check out the vibrant hues of Dior lipsticks and see what you can achieve in front of your mirror.


The super-casual look is another thing that will be commonplace. A little eyegloss in place of eye shadow; lipstick that is deliberately smudged, to give off that just-been-kissed vibe; a little bit of blusher added in a way that suggests having been out in the sun and picked up colour in your cheeks, rather than deliberate use of makeup. This look will require a little effort and time, so as to avoid looking merely sloppy, but when it is done right it will really pay off!


These are just some of the cosmetic approaches that you can be expected to see all around you during the hot months of 2017.
Why not try mixing and matching them so that you can come up with a look that is both the height of fashion – and all your own?
