7 Easy Breezy Summer Beauty Trends That Anyone Can Master...

 

Not everyone has the make-up artistry skills of the likes of Tanya Burr and Zoella, but that doesn’t mean you can’t update your beauty regime with these quick and simple looks.

We asked some of the UK’s top make-up artists, hair stylists and nail experts for their pick of summer beauty trends that anyone (whether they’re skilled with a kabuki brush or not) can master…

1) Glowing Skin
Everyone wants their skin to look healthy and radiant – but the fickle British weather is somewhat of a challenge to that (damn you, St. Swithin’s Day!). 

Abby Ireland, make-up artist for BD Trade Secrets who’s worked with the likes of Kylie Minogue and Kate Winslet, suggests using a primer to perk up your skin.

“I’d always start with a primer – it helps make-up stay in place and it gives the skin a complete refresh,” she tells Yahoo Style.
“If you’re tired or if your skin’s quite lifeless, it’s a great pick-me-up. It gives your skin a real bounce and lifts it up.”

Product Pick: ‘That Gal’ Brightening Face Primer, £22.50, Benefit Cosmetics

2) Colour-Pop Lips
It’s no wonder you see celebs sporting massive sunnies and a bold lip, as a slick of lipstick can update even the most tired of looks.
Abby tells us that anyone can wear a bold, matte lip – it’s such about finding the right shade for your skintone.

“Anyone can wear red, anyone can wear pink, anyone can wear orange, it’s just about finding a product with the correct undertone.”

3) Sage Green Eyes
Muted, pastel shades on the eyelids were one of the key trends on the SS15 catwalks – and it’s actually a really easy look to replicate at home.

Collection Cosmetics make-up artist Francesca Neill, who regularly works with Rochelle Humes and Alesha Dixon, believes sage green is a subtle take on the trend.

“It’s about wearing colour without being overpowering,” she says.

4) Pared-Back Brows
This is a super-simple trend to master because it means stepping AWAY from the brow gel!

“Brows are big this summer – but never over pluck,” says Francesca.

She suggests filling in with a brow pencil, starting at the middle of the brow and working your way to the ends, before combing through with clear mascara.

Product Pick: Eylure Shape & Shade Brow Pencil and Tamer, £5.39, Boots.com

5) Coral Flush
Step away from the powder blush and the big, fluffy brush, because it’s all about a subtle, natural sheen to the cheeks this season.

To achieve that ‘lit from within’ look, Francesca advises applying cream blush to the apples of your cheeks using your fingers and literally pressing it into skin.

6) Milkmaid Plaits
We don’t know about you but sometimes plaits look like a lot of faff. We can appreciate them from afar but it just feels like something we’re never going to achieve without an army of helpers.

Celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke, who has an exclusive range of hair products at Tesco, believes it’s about adding a few different plaits to your repertoire, before learning to master them.

“I think the way to do plaits is to arm yourself with 3 or 4 simple ones that are going to work. Even the ones that look quite complicated, like the milkmaid plait, actually aren’t that hard,” he says.

“If you were to just get two sections of hair and pin it up, it’s going to have the same crossover effect but it’s more simple. It looks more complicated than it really is!”

Product Pick: Nicky Clarke Texturebuild Volume Mousse, £4.99, Tesco

7) Nearly Nude Nails
YES! Finally a nail trend that doesn’t mean we have to spend the entire night at home with a fussy nail art pen.

Glenis Baptiste, celebrity nail artist and MICRO Nail Ambassador, says that short, nude nails are the way forward for SS15.

“The trend for long and pointy isn’t going to be so popular – it’s all about going short,” she tells us.

“A less is more approach with a focus on natural shapes painted in ‘nearly nude’ colours.”
