One of my favorite trends for the summer is being able to wear bright makeup. Its a perfect time to add a little pop of color to your makeup because summer is all about fun – and what is more fun than adding some wild colors!
If you’re like me, it takes a lot of trial and error on how to achieve this great fun look for summer. For this post, I am going to share with you all some of my favorite ways to brighten up my look for summer!
1.) Line your eyes in Color
Lining your eyes in a bright and bold color is a great way to learn how to wear bright makeup in summer! It’s also super easy to do! For me, it’s all about the turquoise; make my brown eyes really pop!
2.) Tomato color Lips!
Believe it or not, but a little red lipstick with some orange in it is the trick on how to wear bright makeup in the summer! It’s also a great way to really brighten up your entire face! Try Motives Rich Formula Lipstick in Tomato Red – I can promise that you will love it and will probably wear this lipstick all throughout the summertime!
3.) Highlight the inner corner of your eye
One neat trick when you are learning how to wear bright makeup in the summer is actually highlighting the inner corner of your eyes. Just take a little bit of your brightly colored eyeshadow – try using Motives Pressed Eyeshadow in Mykonos Blue and dot in the inner corner of your eyes. This will draw attention to your eyes and it looks so cool.
4.) Don’t forget the outside
Let’s say you don’t want to do the inner corner, you want to do the outer corner. That’s fine too! This is one of the greatest ways when you are learning how to wear bright makeup! Just a little dot of that bright shadow along the inner or outer corner and you’ll see a huge difference in how your eyes look!
5.) Peach Colored Blush
Blush is one of those products that you might not think about when you are thinking about tips on how to wear bright makeup but it can absolutely brighten up your face! Just a little peach colored blush along the apples of your cheeks can absolutely highlight your cheekbones and really bring out any and all of your features!
6.) Purple eye shadow!
I actually love purple eyeshadow and I gotta say ladies, it is one of the best ways on how to wear bright makeup in the summer! Purple is hot this summer and if you want an easy way to brighten up your makeup, this is the way to do it! Whether it is bright, brilliant purple or pale, lilac purple, just use a little and see what happens!
7.) Colored Mascara
Finally, the last tip on how to wear bright makeup throughout the summer that we are going to talk about is colored mascara. There are tons of different colors that you can wear that are mascara and I promise, they all will look beautiful!

I LOVE these trends. I’ve been using fun, flashy colors for my eyeliner – paired with a nude / nuetral lid – and think it’s a great summer look. Also a huge fan of Motives by LaLa lip glosses. Sunset Blvd and Big Apple are my favorite for a hi-color, bold gloss.
I like the purple eye shadow, the purple eye shadow is beautiful! Motives purple eye shadow make a great summer look!
WOW!!! What’s left to be said! These little tips and tricks are the bomb! Living near a beach resort often finds me as a Motives Consultant, in search of ways to “pump” up the glam and boldness for summer. I especially like Motives Blush Bronzer Duo for all those pretty women who don’t want to wear foundation in the heat of summer and for a fast easy application that leaves them with some coverage and glow!! It sits well on all skin tones and can be used as a blush or all over the face. I also like your tip on wearing a pop of color inside or outside the corner of the eye. With Motives highly pigmented and micropulverized eyeshadows you can’t go wrong!! Love the look!!
Another great tip for your summer bump up is the Fixx Ten Years Younger spray. Want to really set your make-up , keep it from slipping and disappearing, as well as giving you a burst of freshness and cool you down? Try it, you can’t go wrong!!!
The inner corner of the eye has totally changed my look — day and night. It gives me a great pop of color! thank you for the great tips
I always line my eyes upper & lower lids in a bold colors.
The bold colors makes my eyes look bigger & brighter!
Love the pink eyes & pink lips!
