7 Summer Glam Makeup Trends To Try ASAP

Want to turn heads this summer but tired of the same old go-to makeup look you usually pull out for special occasions? Then take a deep dive into the latest summer glam makeup trends that will put the fun back into getting ready. We’ve handpicked the seven most head-turning looks to try ASAP—from bejewelled eyes to smoked-out liner to the statement lip—reimagined for Summer 2022.

1. Summer Smoke

The return of summer parties calls for a classic smokey eye. A light touch and sticking to greys and browns will make your smokey-eyed look feel effortless. Soften the look further with a natural or sheer nude pink lip, like model Elle Trowbridge.

The warm bronze makeup trend is one of the most universally flattering looks for all seasons. This look is more than your everyday bronzed glow. It’s all about accentuating your features with sculpting highlights and bronze contours. We found the best palettes to do just that.

3. The Statement Lip

Calling all minimalists: the statement lip is back for summer 2022, but this time in classic red. Wear it with a bare face for an effortless finish, or pair it with luminous skin for a red-carpet-worthy look. We can’t get enough of Laura Mercier’s Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick for its long-lasting, moisturising and smoothing formula infused with Mediterranean Sea algae extract.

4. Smokey Cat Eye

Want a bold yet romantic eye makeup look? Smoked-out liner or the smokey cat eye should be your go-to look this season. If you’re addicted to winged eyeliner, a smokey cat eye is an equally flattering alternative you can pull out for date night.

5. Bejewelled Eyes

The bejewelled eye or crystal eye makeup trend is where you place gems (or Swarovski crystals, if you’re feeling fancy) and use them to accentuate the eyes. Apply as many or as few as you like to create a dreamy Euphoria-inspired look. Or, do an Ash Walker and use tinted gems to beautifully enhance your eye colour.

6. Inner-Corner Colour

A favourite throughout spring, this modern take on the classic “inner corner highlight” is still going strong for summer 2022. Don’t confine your palette to just blue; it works just as well with any colour that will complement your makeup look overall.

7. Radiant Flush

Feel like going “makeupless” for the day? Freshen up your face with a “naturally” radiant flushed glow. The trick is to apply one colour over the lips, eyes, and cheeks for a natural finish. Makeup Artist Penny Antuar created this radiant look using NUDESTIX Nudies All Over Face Color in Nude Peach.
