Stunning Summer Makeup Application

One thing I’ve noticed about this time of year is that the warmer the weather gets, the more creative women get with their makeup. And really, there’s no better season. From beachy, sun-kissed skin to bright, juicy pigments, this season provides the perfect opportunity for recreating looks inspired by nature and playing with color.

Here are a few summer-inspired makeup looks by some of Hollywood’s elite that–as my little sister proves–can just as easily be worn by the girl next door.

You can even take the summer theme very literally and incorporate bold, tropical colors, but careful not to go overboard or you’ll end up looking like a clown.
