Guest Post: 4 Runway Makeup Trends That Are Perfect For The Summer

When I was a little girl, I loved reading my fashion magazines. I ooh’ed and ahh’ed looking at countless campaigns of Chanel, Alexander McQueen, and Fendi before thinking about how the garments that were once on the runways shortly found themselves on pretty much anyone who had access to a Forever 21.

Runway Makeup Trends Perfect For Summer

As I got older, the more I realized that’s there’s more to fashion than the glitz and glamour of handmade couture gowns and their equally impressive accessories. The makeup is just as influential, too. Here are four ways runway makeup influenced this summer’s hottest makeup trends.

Bright Lids

It might be time to put away your nude palettes because colors are officially in. What’s so great about this trend is how imaginative and creative you can be with it thanks to designers like Victoria Beckham and labels like Max Mara.

It’s Lit

Less is more, is what someone once said, and they’re right. From Prada’s glossy and healthy skin to popping highlighting at Lanvin, becoming (and looking) natural has never looked so good.

Bold Lips

Admittedly, bold lips have been in trend for a while now, especially last year in the fall/winter, but it’s taken a more vibrant approach this spring and summer. From peachy orange at Versus to color blocking at Cushnie et Ochs’ Spring 2017 collection, it’s proven that it’s here to stay thanks to its bright pops of color.

Blush

Whether you decide to go all out (and I mean up to your temples like Kenzo did this year) or keep it to a minimum like Chanel, blush is the perfect way to have that rosy glow without having to go outside.
