A stroke of summer: sun-kissed makeup
Less makeup – more glow
Color, freshness, and freedom – the ultimate trio of summer, and the foundation of a makeup look that enhances your features effortlessly. This season is all about embracing individuality, letting your skin breathe, and radiating natural beauty. Creamy textures and SPF-packed formulas are the heroes of hot weather. To help you make the most of the sunny season, ELLE O‘zbekiston has created a summer makeup guide complete with top tips and must-try beauty launches.
The move toward natural beauty is becoming more intentional, and glowing skin with visible freckles is the best proof. Say goodbye to heavy mattifying products and powder, and hello to hydration and luminosity. For a simplified routine, switch out full-coverage foundations for tinted fluids, BB creams, or cushion compacts with SPF. These allow your skin to "breathe" and feel weightless. A standout option is La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 Tinted SPF 50+, a feather-light, tinted fluid that offers high protection with vitamin E and thermal water for antioxidant care.
If there's a perfect time for pink, it's summer. Blush becomes the main character of your makeup, now applied not only to the cheeks but also to the nose, eyelids, and even the forehead. This technique mimics a sun-kissed glow and instantly refreshes your look. Cream formulas are best for that dewy finish. Milk Cooling Water Jelly Tint is trending – a cooling 2-in-1 blush and lip tint that adapts to your skin’s pH to create your unique shade.
Want to add a bold twist? Try this summer’s colorful eyeliner trend. Once a staple of the ’90s, graphic liner is back – reimagined as a lightweight, vibrant alternative to eyeshadow, which often creases in the heat. Bright liquid liners instantly elevate your look and can be applied with precision or in a smudged, casual style. A favorite: NYX Epic Ink Glitz Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner, which comes in a wide shade range, offers long wear, and is super affordable.
No summer makeup kit is complete without a setting spray or mist – essential for sun protection, hydration, and locking your look in place. They’re particularly helpful in urban environments, during travel, or in air-conditioned spaces that can dry out the skin. Mist or thermal water with a cooling effect is a true lifesaver. Look out for Supergoop! (Re)Setting Mist SPF 40, which protects, refreshes, and fixes your makeup with just a few spritzes.
As for everything else, think light and natural. A subtle lip gloss, feathered brows, and a floral fragrance. To always be swim-ready and avoid mascara smudges, consider a lash lift treatment. Summer 2025 makeup is about freedom, minimalism, and that glow-from-within energy. It celebrates what nature gave you and enhances it, creating the look of a confident, radiant, modern woman enjoying her summer and herself.
