Warm weather usually means accessorizing our daily looks with a smooth iced tea, a wardrobe of gorgeous bathing suits and a stash of our favorite go-to makeup looks.
Unfortunately, warm weather also means we’re forced to switch up our makeup routines, swapping out moisturizer, lip gloss and even foundation in fear we’ll be melting faster than the Wicked Witch of the West.

But according to Allure, we don’t have to switch out too much to achieve a flawless and chic look for the season. The beloved beauty magazine states that many makeup lovers will be embracing a bold summer eye that will make up for much of your style this summer and revamp what your beauty routine is like all season long.

Sunset shadow
While a smoky eye is perfect for bringing about a dramatic look, give those dark shadows a break this summer and opt for warmer tones that are reminiscent of what the season truly means.
Take inspiration from some of your surrounding and aim for earthy colors, sunset shades and beach looks that add a pop to your wardrobe with the swipe of a brush. Add pinks, oranges and yellows in an ombré effect to ensure you achieve that sunset look.
Unicorn-inspired shadow
From unicorn-themed food to unicorn-themed hair, the mythical winged horse is far from dead when it comes to adding a bit of magic to our lives. Wet n Wild introduced a “Unicorn Glow Box” this summer, three eyeshadow pigments that will add some dimension to your style.
Inspired by the unicorn’s colors, the vibrant shades of purple, pink and blue add a mesmerizing glow to your overall look.
Feather brows
This funky eyebrow trend might not be for everyone, but it’s one that will definitely add some drama your style. Created by Finnish makeup artist Stella Sironen, the brow style involves parting your eyebrows, then brushing them out to create the appearance of feathers.
It might be a good look for the beach and double as a “just out of the water” look.
Pink shadow
You might think pink isn’t for you, but it’s one of the more universally flattering shades that picks up on every skin color and tone, while brightening your eyes. And the best part about pink is that you can go with just about any shade from a pale pastel to bright fuschia.
Depending on what you go with though, add some volume with a deep, dark mascara for full lashes and even eyeliner to keep you from looking like you contracted pink eye.
Eye and brow glitter
We all love a little bit of glitter and summer is the perfect time to add some sparkle to your makeup routine. Sure, it might feel like something you use for those dramatic evenings with friends, but it doesn’t need to be intimidating to use for an everyday routine.
Between shimmery shadows to adding glitter to your lashes and brows, it’s a look that can make even the meekest of makeup lovers to amplify their look when that hot summer sun goes down.
Microblading
When it comes to trying out different ways to brighten up your eyes, there is nothing like a strong baseline — we’re talking eyebrows and they need to always be on fleek. Whether arched, feathered, straightened or bold, your eyebrows are an important facial feature and microblading is a great way to get them looking sharp and tight.
Delivering semi-permanent results, microblading is perfect for those who want to fully reconstruct, define, cover gaps or just fill-in their overly plucked brows. The best part is, the results offer a natural, undetectable fringe.
