These summertime months promise more sunshine, warmer days, and glam, playful, and oh-so-fresh makeup trends. There is just one rule…everything goes. Here’s a list of springtime’s favorites and most striking beauty looks that will be spotted everywhere, according to our resident beauty expert, Ana Bribiesca Hoff.

FRESHEN UP

Try Chantecaille’s Just Skin tinted moisturizer with SPF 15. This versatile 3-in-1 formula is a unique skin perfector. It’s smooth, velvety, and extraordinarily lightweight–delivering impeccable skin.

LET THE SUNSHINE IN

Protect your skin with the look of a sun-kissed glow all day and night. Thanks to Chanel Blush Lumière in either Pêche Rosée or Brun Roussi, both gorgeous face brighteners for your on-the-go jetting about.

It’s like a fountain of youth in a bottle. Let nature take its beautiful course by rejuvenating your complexion at night with the Hydrating + Nourishing Face Oil by COU Skincare, founded by Austinite Trish Williams Huddleston.

A KISS IS STILL A KISS

How is it that kisses seem to be better while wearing a Chanel lip color? For summer, we recommend the en-trend Rouge Allure L’Extrait lip tint. It’s a combination of powders and a plant-derived oil chosen for its intense light-reflecting powers to deliver infinitely luminous color.

$55. At the Atelier Beauté CHANEL at AtelierBeaute.Chanel.com.

DEWY & PASTELED

Try Jason Wu Jewel Sticks, the dreamy shimmer cream pencils that allow you perfect control to create unique designs around the eyes. Use as a standard eyeliner pencil or a blendable cream eyeshadow.

DRIPPING LIP

Elevate bright corals and dark berry hues or add high shine to nude lips. All the shine sans the stickiness. Try Shiseido Crystal GelGloss, a non-drying, ultra-clear, hydrating gloss that leaves lips looking wet and ultra-shiny.

$25. At Bloomingdales.com.

LOVE, ITALY

Light Blue Italian Love Pour Femme by DOLCE&GABBANA is an addictive duo of crisp Granny Smith apple and tangy Calabrian lemon, extracted using the traditional sfumatrice technique which allows the essence and the juice of the lemon to be recovered in its entirety. Sound fresh and dreamy? It is.

METALLIC WINGS

From not-so-subtle embellishment freckling to crystalized cat eyes, try ONE/SIZE by Patrick Starrr Eye Popper Sparkle Vision Liquid Eyeshadow, a one-swipe wonder, long-lasting liquid eyeshadow featuring a mix of glitter and pigment for high-impact sparkle.
