Makeup Colors for Summer You Should be Wearing

With the changing of each season, it’s a great time to switch up the colors you wear in your wardrobe and the colors you wear for your makeup. You don’t need to have a complete beauty overhaul but just need to add or switch a few things to freshen up your look. These are the makeup colors for summer you should be wearing to help you feel up to date and fresh!

Summer Lip + Cheeks

Using a lighter, brighter, or softer color on your lips and cheeks will instantly change your look! Fall and winter are great for darker and deeper colors and spring and summer are great for those lighter and brighter colors.

The great thing about this makeup is that the cream makeup can double as a lip or cheek color. You can even use it as an eyeshadow! Talk about versatility! Any of these will be perfect makeup colors for summer:

Petal
Hollywood
Frenchie
Cindy
Summer Love
Pink Grapefruit

You can shop the Lip & Cheek colors HERE.

Summer Eyeshadows

Just as with your lip and cheek colors, you want your eyeshadow colors to be lighter and brighter. Any of these colors are perfect for summer! You can shop them HERE.

Soul Mate
On Wednesdays
Tawanda

Bronzer

Bronzer can work any time of year, I use it year-round, but it’s especially great in the summer! It helps give you that sun-kissed glow without the harsh sun rays. It looks like you’ve spent the day at the beach! When you buy the Bronzer + Blush Brush with the Bella Crème Bronzer as a bundle, you save money! Shop the bundle HERE! Here are some ways you can wear bronzer:

• Apply it all over your face before you highlight & contour.
• Apply it on the highest parts of your face where the sun naturally hits (your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin) after you highlight & contour.
• Apply a light amount of highlight to even out your skin tone and then apply some bronzer for a light makeup look.
• Scoop a pea sized amount of bronzer and a squirt of your moisturizer and mix it together in your fingers. Then apply it all over your face for a light bronzey all over look.

Invest in just a few new products so you can feel like a new woman! You don’t have to collect a ton more clutter or spend a ton of money to freshen up your look with these makeup colors for summer. Swap or add a few new colors in your custom compact and have a whole new look!

Get Great Coverage with 3D Foundation

Are you tired of putting your foundation on each day just to look ok? You put that time in and invest in the products and you still feel mediocre? Or you feel like your foundation is too heavy or too thick or not enough or too blah? Does it make you look lifeless? Yup….most foundations do that! We’re using one color to cover up that beautiful face of yours! No more! Enter 3D foundation. It’s the new lifechanging (and we don’t say that lightly!) foundation that will transform your face, give you the great coverage, add that femininity, and enhance your natural beauty. Here’s how!

What is 3D Foundation?

Ok, what is this stuff we’re talking about?? You know when you go to a beauty store and they have rows and rows of foundation colors. From liquid to cream to powder. The options are endless. But what’s not cool about those options are that they all have one thing in common. They all put one color on your entire face and cover up your beauty! Sure, you might actually want that great coverage. But do you really want to only have one color on your face? It makes you look lifeless. It diminishes your natural shapes and shadows. And it’s not flattering. Sorry, someone had to say it.

But with 3D foundation, you are creating shape and shadows and dimension on your face. You are bringing life back into it and enhancing your beautiful features. This foundation includes your highlight color (which is your skin’s color), contour (to give you the shadows), blush (to give you that natural flush), and illuminator (to give you that pretty glow).

How to Use 3D Foundation?

Now, how do you ues this stuff?? All foundations are applied on the entire face to even out your skin tone and give you great coverage. But with 3D foundation, each foundation single is your foundation but it’s just in different colors. You apply the highlight, contour, blush, and illuminator just where you need it. You don’t apply layer over layer. You apply your highlight on your forehead, nose, chin, under your eyes, and jawline. You apply your contour under your cheekbones, under your jawline, and on your hairline. You apply your blush on the apples of your cheeks. You apply your illuminator on the top of your cheekbones. And once you’re done, your entire face has great coverage but also has shape and dimension. You just created a masterpiece!

Each foundation single comes in an individual tin. You put them in a customized compact and replace as needed! The best way to apply the cream foundation is with a great makeup brush. You can find our favorite brushes HERE!

How to Pick Your 3D Foundation Colors?

Doesn’t that sound beautiful? Doesn’t that sound much better than a flat face of foundation?? We want that femininity and we’re thinking you do too! But how do you go about picking your colors? How do you know what will complement your skin tones? That’s what we’re here to help you do!
