Summer is here. Natural makeup ideas that are perfect for those warm days

As the temperatures rise and the sun peeks out, many of us feel a yen to rethink our makeup choices. What felt totally natural and comfortable in the colder months can suddenly seem heavy, harsh and over the top. In brighter light and warmer weather, many of us favor a more natural, chilled-out vibe.
But natural makeup doesn't have to be boring! A few fun little twists can make a more neutral and low-key look just as fun as a full glam makeup. If you're struggling for inspiration, look no further. These natural makeup ideas are cute, fun, and perfect for summertime.

CC cream with a soft shimmer eye
In the warmer months, many of us prefer to switch out our usual foundation for something lighter and dewier, such as a CC (color correcting) cream. Adding some soft neutral shimmers on the eye can brighten up the complexion even more. Pair with a soft pink lip for a super pretty vibe. Get the tutorial here.
CC cream with winged liner and a bold lip
If you favor a more dramatic look, keep the look more natural by starting with a lightweight, sheer base product. Pair a color correcting cream with a small kitten wing and a groomed brow to elevate the look. Finish with a slick of bright, neon red lipstick to intensify the makeup. Get the tutorial here.
CC cream with brown eyeshadows
For those who don't want to give up on their eyeshadows, heading for neutral tones can help create a more natural look. Build up a deeper tone in the crease and blend outward to make your eyes appear larger. Long, fluttery lashes emphasize the effect, while a nude glossy lip pairs perfectly. Get the tutorial here.
BB cream with long, full lashes
For a natural look that's still uber-glam, focus your attention on your eyelashes. Curl them and apply a few layers of lengthening mascara for a fluttery effect. These statement lashes look perfect alongside a natural base with BB (beauty balm) cream and a soft pink lip and blush. Get the tutorial here.
BB cream with bright blush
Another fun way to add interest to a softer look is by popping on a statement blush. Brighter coral pinks work perfectly on all skin tones. Pair with a lightweight BB cream, groomed brows and a neutral glossy lip for a perfect no-makeup makeup. Get the tutorial here.
BB cream with a bold lip
If you're in a hurry but need to quickly create a makeup look, you can always reach for a lipstick. A bright bubble gum pink is pretty but still high-fashion — especially when paired with a lightweight, glowy base. Finish with defined brows and a slick of mascara. Get the tutorial here.
No foundation with skin and eyes that pop
Many of us don't want to wear foundation during warmer weather, thanks to the often heavy look and feel. Instead, conceal where you need, and focus on bringing light to the face. Brighten eyes by highlighting the inner corner and applying mascara. A soft-matte nude lip is the perfect accompaniment. Get the tutorial here.
