Summer is here and as much as we love to travel during the summer months, the pandemic isn’t exactly over yet. Flights being grounded doesn’t mean you can’t look like you’re jet setting around the country or the world. A little bit of makeup here and there can perk up your mood and make it feel like you’re on vacation. We’ve got a few favorite makeup looks that can help you get into the summer groove and a few local makeup brand products that can help achieve the summer look you want.

It’s inevitable that a nice clean bronze look would pop up on a list of summer makeup looks. It’s classic and beautiful and can be done with such minimal effort. Ellana Cosmetics has foundation shades that could double as beautiful bronzers in the summer. The Loose Mineral SkinShield Foundation Jar with SPF16 provides a nice summer tan to your look while keeping excess oils at bay.

If you want an extra level of oomph, apply Moone Beauty’s Glowgasm Highlighter to the high points of your face (and your decolletage if it’s exposed) and you’ll look like you just got back from sunbathing in Boracay.

If eyeshadow is something you’re more comfortable playing with, look no further than Filipinta Beauty. Their palettes are made up of beautiful colors inspired by Filipino culture, and depending on which one you choose, you can get a complete set of funky colors or a combination of neutrals with just a hint of color.

That much focus on your eyes means that you’re going to want your eyebrows to be flawless and who else would you turn to but Issy & Co. Cosmetics and their beloved Brow Refiner. Pick up one of their Hydraglosses in a shade of your choice to finish off your look.

Fuss-free and easy, but still elegantly beautiful is the look you’ll get if you use Strokes Beauty Lab Eye Paint Duos. The combination of the matte and metallic shade create a beautiful ethereal effect on the eyelid.
