Below, scroll through seven makeup trends that you'll see all over Instagram this summer. Just don't forget to wear your sunscreen with these looks, too.
Summer 2020 Makeup Trend: Mis-Matched Shadow
When you absolutely can't decide on a shade of shadow, there's this option — the two-toned routine. This mirrored look used two colors of shadow in different ways. You could go with a similar coloring option of yellow and pink, or create your own mini rainbow with your favorite shadows.
Summer 2020 Makeup Trend: Over-The-Top Blush
Forget subtlety — this summer's blush trend motto is more is more. Similar to Rihanna's iconic 2017 Met Gala beauty look, the OTT blush look leans on the draping technique, a style riffing off of the super-flushed cheeks of the '70s.
Summer 2020 Makeup Trend: Next-Level Gems
You can never have enough glitter, and expect this summer to be full of shimmery looks. Try going all out with your sparkles like this look or use a touch of shimmer on your inner eye corners or brows.
Summer 2020 Makeup Trend: Neon Eyes
Use some tropical-inspired liner to create artsy eye looks. If you intend to go for a bold eye routine, keep the rest of your look minimal to really make it pop.
Summer 2020 Makeup Trend: Swept-Up Brows And Lashes
With working from home becoming the summer norm, it's likely that you'll see plenty of dewy, fresh looks that rely on volume from the brows and lashes. This look, combined all your no-makeup makeup essentials —highlighter, blush, and subtle lip coloring — creates perfect subtle, soft glow.
Summer 2020 Makeup Trend: Floating Eyeliner
The negative space trend will continue into summer 2020, especially when it comes to eye makeup. Gigi Hadid played up the style with a single straight line across her lids, but the look offers plenty of room to play around with shape and color.
Summer 2020 Makeup Trend: Two-Toned Lined Shadow
Give your bold shadow an extra pop by outlining — however thin or thick — with a contrasting shade. This trend is often seen with the shadow shaping the lid shape, but you can have fun with it and form however you'd like.
