6 Summer Makeup Trends For 2024

After what felt like the world’s longest winter, summer has finally arrived. With it comes beach parties, Aperol spritzes, picnics in the park, and a general sentiment of starting fresh. And what’s fresher than trying out a new makeup trend? Summer is the best time to shake it up a bit and try a new style or technique. Embracing a new look is fun and less exhausting than, say, changing swimsuits or wondering where you left your sunglasses (again).
