Take inspiration from the baby pink hue of an icy rosé wine slushy for a monochromatic makeup moment. Eyeshadow, blush and lipstick in complementary light pinks come together for a soft, feminine look. The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Glow Blush in the shade 50 - Euphoric would work well for frosé makeup. For the lips, try the dual-ended lipstick and lip liner pencil from Samreens Vanity, used for the look in this photo. 

Strawberry Daiquiri

Swipe on lipstick in a bright, juicy red with pink undertones for a strawberry-daiquiri-inspired makeup look. Keep the rest of your makeup simple, glowy and sun-kissed to let your pop of color lips steal the show. One of our favorite red lippies right now is the Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink Moodmakers Liquid Lipstick in Motivator, but if you prefer a glossy finish, we also love the YSL Beauty Rouge Volupté Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick in Red Crush

Aperol Spritz

Transport yourself to an Italian cafe by sipping on an aperol spritz — and matching your eye makeup to the trendy summer cocktail. A wash of orange eyeshadow is a fun and unexpected way to play with your makeup. We’re obsessed with how makeup artist Eri Vincent adorned her lids with holographic flecks of confetti. For an eyeshadow palette with several orange options, check out the Urban Decay UD x Smiley Naked Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Mucho Happy.

Mojito

Channel a mojito loaded with lime slices by creating an electric green graphic eyeliner look. This in-your-face lime green eye makeup combines trends including a cat eye, a cut crease and negative space eyeliner. Recreate it using the Urban Decay 24/7 Inks Easy Ergonomic Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Freak

Sangria

A moody, vampy lip may seem counterintuitive during the summer, but if you stick to a glossy finish, red wine hues can totally work during the warmer months. Look for berry shades of blush, lipstick and lip gloss for a romantic late summer vibe. The NYX Professional Makeup Fat Oil Lip Drip in That’s Chic is the perfect shade for a sangria night.   

Blended Bellini

Statement blush is one of this year’s biggest beauty trends and we love the idea of taking it one step further by blending vibrant pink, peach and coral shades. Keep the rest of your makeup understated and dust a generous amount of blush (we like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Up to 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Blush in Fearless Coral) onto the apples of your cheeks blending up towards your temples.  

Piña Colada

Do you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain? You’ll love this shimmery, pineapple yellow eyeshadow look. As demonstrated in this photo, sunshine hues pair so nicely with golden bronzer and lipstick. Take a cue from this Instagram user and finish the look with a sharp winged liner.
