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.

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.
