How to Style a Summer Look with Sarah's Essentials

Quick answer

Use Sarah's Summer Essentials set to build a fresh, minimal summer makeup look in five easy steps. Focus on light textures and natural finishes for a no-makeup feel.

How to style your summer look

1. Prep your skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Use a lightweight sunscreen or tinted moisturizer if included in your set to even out skin tone without heavy coverage. Skipping prep can make makeup look patchy in heat.
2. Apply a light base: Use any foundation or skin tint from the set. Apply with fingers or a damp sponge for a sheer, dewy finish. Focus on the center of the face and blend outward. Too much product can feel cakey; less is more for summer.
3. Add a wash of color: Use the cream blush or bronzer from the set. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks and apply a small dot, then blend upward toward the temples. For bronzer, sweep along cheekbones and forehead for a sun-kissed glow. Cream products melt into skin better than powder in humid weather.
4. Define eyes naturally: Swipe a neutral eyeshadow shade from the set across the lid. Use a clean fingertip to blend. Curl lashes and apply one coat of mascara for definition without heaviness. Avoid heavy eyeliner; it can smudge in heat.
5. Finish with lips: Apply a tinted lip balm or gloss from the set. Pat in for a stained effect that lasts through meals and reapplies easily. Matte lipsticks can dry out lips in summer; balms are more comfortable.
