Summer is the time of long and glorious days, lazy warm nights and fleeting yet, torrid love affairs. Of course we want to shout out our best summer looks. Unfortunately, hot off the runway and red carpet makeup trends aren't as easily pulled off by us non-models or movie stars. We can't very well show up at the office with neon orange lipstick or pick up a prescription at any beauty shops with our faces coated in silver glitter. Not only are some seasonal trends totally over-the-top for everyday wear, but some of summer's makeup shades and styles look fabulous on some skin tones and not so great on others. So to help navigate your way through the "it" makeup styles for the season of fun in the sun, we found the best looks and colors for your skin tone, so you can ride the latest makeup waves with confidence.
Here you'll find the best summer lip, eye and face makeup looks for your unique skin tone. So go ahead and browse through all the must-try celebrity makeup looks to discover which ones will work best on you. Then, give yourself a sexy summer makeover with the hottest shades under the sun.
1. The Kerry Washington Looks
Looks best on: Medium or dark skin
Why we like it: Summer is a great time to experiment with color, and choosing a shade like purple, makes color wearable for those of us who are over 20.
Quick tip: To keep a bright shadow color in place, prime your lids by dusting them with a loose transparent powder before applying a purple shadow
2. The Kristin Cavallari Looks
Looks best on: Light or medium skin
Why we like it: Pale pink lipstick and lush black lashes make us feel like we are going on Barbie's Dream Vacation. Since we're not, it's also an ideal date-night look.
Quick tip: Lipstick shades will last longer (through eating and smooching) if you first coat your lips with lip liner. Use a nude liner shade before applying a pale lipstick hue
Looks best on: Medium skin
Why we like it: Nothing says summer more than a bronzed all-over glow, shimmering eyes, and glossy lips. Coco cabana here we come.
Quick tip: To create Chriqui's highlighted glow, finish your bronzed makeup by blending a pearly cream on the tops of your cheekbones, directly under your brow bones, and along bridge of your nose.
4. The Queen Latifah Looks
Looks best on: Dark skin
Why we like it: Silvery hues are a huge trend this summer and look epic (and not disco ball-like at all) when worn on dark, glowing skin. Silver shades are definitely worth a try.
Quick tip: To make a silver eyeshadow to stand out, and to stay on trend, dab a bit of the shimmery hue on the lower inner-corners of your eyes. This will make your eyes look bigger as well -- bonus!
5. The Christina Hendricks Looks
Looks best on: Fair skin
Why we like it: Monochromatic makeup looks are hot right now because they are so easy -- plus punch pink cheeks and lips are a great way to brighten up fair skin.
Quick tip: For an all-over pink look like Hendricks, use a multi-use product that you can apply all over.Tap it onto the apples of your cheeks, your eyelids and lips. To complete the look, apply numerous coats of your favorite black mascara and a high shine pink lip gloss.
6. The Charlize Theron Looks
Looks best on: Light or medium skin
Why we like it: Gold smoky eyes are a summer version of fall's iconic charcoal eye -- and they're gorgeous on medium skin tones.
Quick tip: To keep this look as light as a summer day, follow Theron's lead and only use black eyeliner on the inner rims of your eyes after applying gold shadow liberally to your entire lid. Use waterproof black pencil eyeliner to make your look last.
7. The Camilla Belle Looks
Looks best on: Medium, tan skin
Why we like it: This bright coral pink lipstick hue is fun and sexy -- everything summer should be.
Quick tip: Bronzed skin looks best in varieties of pinky-coral shades like Belle's, so if you have her complexion try a lip color. But if you have light or pale skin, the most flattering shade of coral for you will be a touch more orangey-red.
8. The Cate Blanchett Looks
Looks best on: Fair skin
Why we like it: If you're not lucky enough to have time off work during the summer, this understated silver look is perfect for the office.
Quick tip: The slightly bluish-silver eyeshadow Blanchett is wearing works best on cool skin tones, so if you share her complexion, try silver shadows accented with pale blues or whites. If you have a warmer skin tone, opt for silver shades with touches of bronze.
9. Devon Aoki
Looks best on: Light or medium skin
Why we like it: If you don't want to fuss with much makeup this summer, red lipstick is your answer -- it's on trend and all you need to look gorgeous in seconds.
Quick tip: When you wear a bold red lipstick, keep eyes toned down -- especially during the summer months when heavy makeup is so not cool -- literally. Then, apply a thin winged line of black eyeliner to your upper lash lines. Finish by coating top lashes only with mascara to keep your look fresh.
10. The Heidi Klum Looks
Looks best on: Medium skin
Why we like it: A slightly pink glow and eyelashes for miles will let your natural beauty shine through.
Quick tip: Klum's flawless complexion is what really makes this natural makeup look so beautiful. To get her even skin tone, start by ex-foliating weekly to slough off dull-looking skin. Then use a tinted moisturizer over your entire face to even out your tone and protect your skin. Hide remaining visible under eye circles or blemishes with concealer. Finally, set your face with powder. If you get shiny throughout the day, keep oil-absorbing sheets handy and touch up as needed.
11. The Jessica Alba Looks
Looks best on: Medium skin
Why we like it: Mauve smoky eyes and plump pinky-gold lips are sure to heat things up this summer. In need of a sultry look? You found it.
Quick tip: To get Alba's voluptuous pout, line your lips in a neutral shade that matches your own lip color. Then top the liner with a golden-flecked pink lipstick. Finish by dabbing the middle section of your bottom lip with a bit of high shine gloss for an extra plump, sexy finish.
