Bright-Eyed Beauty: 10 Makeup Techniques That Will Make Your Eyes Pop

Summer is here, and along with minimizing the weight of your wardrobe comes the need to lighten up on your makeup, too. With temperatures reaching the high nineties (if not higher), the last thing you want is to put in the time to perfect your face only for it to sweat off into one runny mess. That said, instead of accentuating every feature of your face with a heavy makeup application, why not put your focus front and center with your eyes? To learn how to perk up your peepers just in time for summer, we tapped Wilhelmina makeup artist, Dominique Lerma, to get the 4-1-1 on makeup tips to make your eyes pop. And since we’re all about making your summer makeup routine as simple as possible, we’ll even let you in on the best makeup products to make your eyes stand out. So, what’re you waiting for? Your most summery smize is just a scroll away.

Last but not least, mascara can take your lid look a long way. “Summer is the perfect time to switch up your makeup routine discarding old products,” Lerma says. “I throw out my old tube of mascara and upgrade to Tarte Cosmetics Lights, Camera, Splashes Waterproof Mascara. It’s perfect for those long-wearing workdays and tropical vacations, assisting in a well-put-together eye look without the problem of makeup transferring,” she notes.
