1. Go Bold with a Couple of Coats of Purple Lipstick
Yes, you totally read that right. Summertime gives you the chance to try out bright, fun colors. This year, runway models have been sporting purple on their lips. I’m not talking crayon purple, but more reddish-purple shades that are just a short jump away from the ever classic bright red. You definitely want to experiment with purple lipstick so you can get a hue that’s perfect for your skin tone.
2. Pretend You’re at the Beach with Mermaid Blue
Here’s a color that you can wear in a variety of ways. It’s ultra popular on your nails and gives you a dose of great blue/turquoise right at your fingertips. If you want to try something bold and trendy, wear mermaid blue eyeshadow. You don’t need it all over your lid though. Use it to highlight or line your lids and you’re good to go.

3. Get Girly with Purple-Pinks
There’s pink and there’s purple, but when you put the two together, you get beautiful music. This summer, wearing purple-pink eyeshadow is a must. It gives you a great pop of color on your lids and brings out your eyes. You can also try the shade as a blush color or lip stain. No matter how you do it, you are going to love this shade all summer long.
4. Be Daring and Go a Little Nude
It’s not what you think. You should definitely stay clothed all summer. However, you can incorporate nude shades in many aspects of your beauty routine with great success. Nude lipstick or nude nail polish are two easy ways to give it a try. Nude shades also work for highlighting your eyes and cheeks. You are going to fall in love with nude make-up this summer!
5. Glam Things up with a Bright Magenta
If you choose magenta this summer, it’s best to go for a lipstick in the hue. It’s pretty intense and might be too much for eyelids or cheeks. However, it will give you a great dose of confidence when you wear it on your lips. Experts say to hydrate your lips well first so the color stays put.
6. Get Juicy with Bright Orange
This is actually more a red-orange, but it’s great for lips. It will give you a daring and bold look that will be perfect for any outfit you want to wear this summer. You will also love wearing orange on your finger and toenails. I’m really digging this bright clementine color right now and I can’t stop wearing it.
7. Make a Big Statement by Wearing Chartreuse
This yellow-green shade is just the right dose of fun and quirk for your best nail art patterns. I don’t think it’s trending as face make-up, but if you look at the nail polish displays at your favorite drugstore, it’s easy to see that it’s a hot shade for summertime nails. If you want to make a statement, chartreuse nail polish is the way to get it done.
