Say goodbye to layers and layers of makeup this summer. Stow away your bold eyeshadows, and bust out your shimmery/neutral eye palettes, because what’s hot this summer is fresh and natural! Add subtle hues of pink below your brow, lips, and cheeks, with a little bronzer – this will give your skin a fresh glow. If you believe pink isn’t the color for you, there are plenty of blushes out there to try. The perfect blush for you will be the color your cheeks turn when you become flush. Try to match your lips with your cheeks – this will bring your look together.

Want to transition this trend to an evening look? Just add more eye liner to your top lid, and even a set of lashes to add some drama for a summer night!

An important tip: always fill-in your brow; I believe this is what finishes the perfect “canvas,” whether you’re going for a natural or glam look.

Below, are two fantastic, quick tutorials to help you achieve either a natural, daytime look, or a more summery-glam look for evening.
