Makeup
Outshine the sun! Our summer makeup is not only pleasantly lightweight, it is also easy to apply. What’s more, we’ll give you some tips on how to beat the heat with makeup.
Summer
How to
Step 1
Refresh your skin
A moisturizing, tinted day cream refreshes your skin and evens out your complexion.
Gel textures are perfect for the summer, because they are lightweight and natural-looking.
Apply it with a makeup brush and work it in with your hands.
Step 2
Conceal
Conceal redness and imperfections quickly and easily with a concealer.
It’s best to apply it with an integrated applicator, and to blend it in over large areas using a concealer brush.
Expert tip
To avoid a blotchy finish in the heat, set your tinted day cream with the No Color Setting Powder before applying your makeup.

Step 3
Sun-kissed
A little bronzing powder gives you a nice summer glow for when the sun goes down.
Apply the powder to your face using a blush or powder brush (depending on the shape of your face), starting along the outer edges and working your way towards the middle.
Want more? Create shimmering accents with a highlighter and add freshness to your complexion. To do this, take a look at our Strobing makeup tips.
Step 5
Cream eyeshadow
Eyeshadow with a creamy texture has the best staying power in the summer. To avoid smudging and creasing, we recommend first applying an eyeshadow primer.
Subtle eyeshadow colors like “seashell” or “sunset beach” can be used as a highlighter for a natural summer look. Apply eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes and under the highest part of your brows, and blend it using the tip of your finger. Highlight your natural crease, the outer part of your eyelid, and your lower lash line with an apricot color.
Step 6
Waterproof
Heat & water make waterproof mascara an absolute must in summer.
Start by applying mascara to your lower lashes, then to your upper lashes. To get full lashes, apply mascara to the base of your lashes through to the tips.
Step 7
Lip gloss
In summer, your lips dry out faster than usual. Lipsticks with nourishing waxes serve as a protective barrier, while adding moisture and leaving your lips feeling soft.
To complete your summer makeup look, go for a lipstick with a glossy finish, leaving your lips looking gorgeously voluminous.
Step 8
Cool & fresh
Whew, the summer heat sure can be intense – and it also takes its toll on your makeup!
Our recommendation to freshen up during the day? An invigorating spray that covers your entire face with a light, even mist. Absolutely refreshing!
