Summer Makeup Trends 2009

If you want to change your makeup bag to match the season then you need to take a good look at the most recent summer makeup trends so that you can look fabulous when lounging by a pool or just sunning yourself in a bar garden. Summer is the time to go for a more neutral look but this does not mean that it is any easier to create and in actual fact, it can be rather difficult getting the natural look spot on.

Beiges, pinks and light plum colors are the way forward this summer and Chanel showed the way with their mysterious Spring Beauty range advertisement. With cat’s eye eyeliner and a pretty plum pout, the look was stunning and could be worn for any evening occasion.
For a lighter effect and a more day time summer look, you could try out the pretty pinks used in the Dior color collection ad. Pale pink and beige eye shadow was teamed with pale pink lipstick and a rose colored blusher for a pretty in pink appeal that would be great for the daytime. This look could easily be changed from day to night with the help of an eye liner pencil and slightly darker plum shades in the eye socket so that you can have two looks for the price of one.
Bright colors are another look that you can go for this summer with a funky edge and a more modern appeal and although this can be hard to pull off, the brighter the shade, the better! Clarins Pop with Color Fizz advertisement showed how to pull off this look with pink and bright yellow eye shadows and beautiful pink lipsticks. This is perhaps a look for the younger generation that are donning their high heels to go off clubbing but is a look that will definitely get you noticed for the summer of 2009.
