SUMMER 2017 MAKEUP TRENDS
T
he summer 2017 makeup trends are here, and all of you makeupphobes can let out a sigh of relief. The defining makeup style for this upcoming season is minimal and effortless. This year’s runway was just as starkly marked by absence, as it was by presence. Gone were the thick eyebrows and graphic lips of yesteryear. Heavy cream contour was nowhere in sight. The fashion makeup trends for 2017 will have makeup styles that are quick and effortless, and naturally beautiful. The 2017 beauty trends aren’t just about natural – many of them are quite bold, and feature lots of color. The difference is
that shadows and lipsticks were applied quickly – sharp edges and fleeky wings were given nearly zero consideration. Additionally, most of the bold colors and funky shapes were kept to minimal areas, while the rest of the face was done in the winning style of the season: extremely natural. This is the season for the lazy girls, and the brave women, those who act quickly and spontaneously, those who decide to go all out with neon eye shadows two minutes before leaving the house. Summer 2017 is the season of fearlessly flawful makeup, and the guts to bare it all.
NO MAKEUP MAKEUP
Sometimes, achieving that perfect no makeup makeup look takes just as long as that heavy makeup for a night out. Of all the gorgeous beauty looks we saw this year, the totally natural makeup look reigned supreme. This is more than just one of the 2017 makeup trends – this is a forever beauty trend.
At Michael Kors, makeup artist Dick Page also stuck to the no makeup makeup look with most models, occasionally even skipping steps like lipstick and blush, making this beauty look very nude in color. Lanvin’s show was a perfect iteration of this makeup style, with the models wearing a full face of undetectable makeup. Their contour was perfectly blended, and their eyelashes never clumped together thanks to too much mascara. It was perfect execution of light handed application and blending that is always sure to flatter.
