Concealing

Whether it’s just for a beach look or for a more carefree summer style, this about keeping your makeup minimal. A concealer could help you with that. You could use it to cover up any spot, blemishes and dark circles and to skip foundation.

Tinted moisturizer

If you require some additional coverage apart from the concealer, you might opt for a tinted moisturizer. This would help you achieve an even tone on your skin and would give you a nice summer glow.

Apply bronzer

While staying out in the sun too much is not recommended, you could give the impression that you have gained some tan by applying bronzer on your face. The application of the bronzer should be light and not overdone. Opt for bronzer that have peach or pink undertones and apply over the apples of the cheeks, on your nose and temple.

Waterproof mascara

Wear light lipsticks

Use lightweight lipsticks or tinted lip balms to help you feel fresh and not bulk up your lips.
