Summer 2014 Makeup Trends

Posted by GladGirl Team on July 16, 2014

When it comes to makeup trends, 2014 is not the summer for pastels. It’s time to go brash and bold with a pop of neon and some eyelash flair. Play around with the runway trends below!

Purple Passion

Rather than a deep wintry purple, color your eyelids with shades of lavender, lilac and orchid. If your skin tone can handle it, have some fun with purple-tinted blush or lip gloss. Pick one feature to highlight with purple and wear it with passion!

Hot Lips

Sure, soft pink lips are always acceptable in summertime, but the warm weather is trending toward hot pinks and neon orange. Chose lipstick with a velvety matte finish. If you aren’t daring enough to go bold and bright on your lips, then paint your nails with a pop of neon and you’ll still be making a statement!

Line Those Eyes

You can’t go wrong with shades of blue this summer—especially aquatic teals! You can subtly line or go all out and shade your eyes top and bottom with a shadow liner. White liner is also making a comeback this summer, both on the top and bottom lashes. We think white liner coupled with some of that hot neon lipstick is quite the trend-setting look! When lining your eyes with black, go for bold, angular geometric shapes that take the cat-eye to a whole other level!

Bust Out and Strip

Eyelashes are all the rage this summer. To get the in-style, doe-eyed retro 60s look, apply eyelash extensions or strip lashes to both the top and bottom lashes. This look especially complements the barefaced trend that’s returning this summer. Just a clean, clear face dusted lightly with a golden bronzer, topped off with some feathery lashes. Try any of our Strip Lashes from our Delicate Collection. Oh, and we almost forgot! Pair it with some bright neon yellow nail polish for a frisky finish. Summertime is playtime, and a time to celebrate your personal style. So give that makeup bag a makeover with some hot new colors that speak to your unique personality and panache.
