4 summer 2024 makeup trends: Vibrant colors, warm dustings of blush, radiant skin—the bulk of summer 2024’s makeup trends seem to draw inspiration from the season itself. To begin, blush echoes time spent staying active under the sun (whether said sun is high in the sky or setting over the horizon).
“The overarching theme for summer 2024 is blush blush blush,” says makeup artist Brandy Allen, citing sunburned blush and boyfriend blush as examples. “The sky’s the limit!”
Summer’s carefree air elicits a few irreverent details, too. Watery blues and brat-girl greens make for splashy shadow shades, while eyeliner is grunge and smudged to rebellious effect. And as for lips? Go glossy, or opt for organic applications of stains and lipsticks that evoke a fresh-picked summer snack?

4 summer 2024 makeup trends
1-Sunset Shades
Ombré blush applied to honor a midsummer sunset blends pinks, tangerines, and corals for a pretty, lifted effect. The universally flattering trend was sparked by beauty influencer Alissa Janay, and the subsequent, painterly approach is easily adaptable depending on your face and taste—and if blush isn’t your thing, try the gradient on your lids. For an ultimate example, make a point to head outside and watch the sun go down.
2-Full Flush
4 summer 2024 makeup trends: Whether you prefer a faux sunburn or boyfriend blush, swirls of pigment designed to make your complexion appear naturally flushed are among the season’s top trends. “’I’m so happy blush is making a comeback right now. It’s fun, youthful, and brightens anyone’s face!” says Kristina. “I personally love cream blushes because they mimic the texture of skin—you can really melt them into the skin to create a flawless blend.”
3-Colored Mascara
4 summer 2024 makeup trends: Broaden your palette without overhauling your entire look with a coat (or several) of colored mascara. Along with adding an expected pop, a strategic choice can open your eyes and enhance your irises. “Love, love a colored mascara, especially an electric blue or purple,” says Inglessis. She favors Dior Beauty’s classic offerings (the brand punctuates blacks and browns with a blue shade).
4-Effulgent Skin
4 summer 2024 makeup trends: Luminous, wet-look, pearlescent—summer’s skin comes with a seamless glow. “I’m excited to see less products on the skin,” says Inglessis. “Use a balm like Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream on the parts you want to highlights for a natural glow without shimmer or reflection.” If extra is your preferred mode, damp skin is also an option. Reach for your preferred moisturizer (and SPF) and follow with luminous primer and cream products to keep things as damp and dewy as possible. And finally, touches of highlighter can make even bare skin pretty, pearly, and perfect for mermaid play.
