Pool parties are the ultimate summer social event, you are out soaking up the afternoon sun, enjoying music with a cocktail in your hand or dancing by the pool with your friends. One thing that should complement your fun vibe is your makeup. Pool parties can happen at any time of the day and your makeup should find a perfect balance to match the vibe of the day.
To help you look your best, maybe for a sundowner or night pool party, we have three stunning pool party makeup looks inspired by different times of the day.
1. Fresh & Natural Daytime Makeup Look
When the sun is at its brightest, less is definitely more. You might wanna skip the heavy foundation, as this may not hold up well around water and heat. Instead, focus should be on creating a more natural, radiant look that will enhance your facial features and that natural glow on your face. The photographs will turn out beautiful in natural sunlight and the waterproof makeup will stay for long hours.
To create this look,
Start with light skin prep. Apply a hydrating moisturizer and Vitamin C serum for skin hydration and a broad-spectrum SPF because this is non-negotiable for daytime.
Use a waterproof primer and skip heavy foundations with Hollywood Flawless Filter Foundation. This will even out the complexion and give a radiant shine, perfect for daytime. Add a touch of cream blush in soft peach or rosy pink shades to give a natural flush of color to your cheeks.
Keep eyes simple. A bronze eyeshadow color with Curl Lift Pro waterproof Mascara that will keep your lashes and your spirit high even in water. Brush up your brows and set with an eyebrow gel, natural brows frame the face without looking overdone.
Heavy matte lipsticks will only dry out your lips more so skip those and apply a tinted lip balm or lip oil. Look for shades that enhance your natural lip color and also keep your lips hydrated. Set everything in the end with a waterproof setting spray to tackle this heat and humidity.
2. Sunset-Inspired Makeup Look for Sundowner Party
There is always something magical about sunsets, you see orange, yellow and golden colors in the sky, creating a mesmerizing prism-like effect. This is a perfect inspiration for you to create a golden hour makeup look.
To create this look,
Create a glowing base. Use an illuminating primer that creates a base for all the makeup to blend well and radiates a perfect shine with all the shimmer particles in it. To even out the complexion, use Red Cushion Foundation, this works best in sweatproof conditions and creates a skin-like base. Use a strobe cream on the high points of your face like cheeks and nose, for that extra touch of shimmer.
For eyes, you can experiment with the sunset warm tones, use warm peach, terracotta, coral or soft gold shades across the eyelids to create a summer-like sunset style. Use Shine Line Long Waterproof Eyeliner and draw a thin line on your eyelids, extending to make a subtle wing to enhance your eyes.
Do not miss the bronzer along the temples, cheekbones and jawline for a naturally sun-kissed effect. Choose your preferred shade of Lip Luminizer Gloss with shimmer to pair perfectly with sunset-inspired eye look. Set your makeup with Ultra Setting Luxury Makeup Fixer Spray to keep everything in place.
3. Glowing Night Makeup Look
As the sun sets and the party transitions into the evening, it's time to elevate your makeup with a touch of glamour. For a nighttime pool party makeup should focus on luminous skin, defined facial features and dramatic eye makeup look that stands out under artificial lighting. The goal is to look glamorous for Instagram pictures with less makeup and enhanced facial features.
To Create this Look,
Use a waterproof primer to perfect your base and Red Cushion Foundation to even out the complexion. We don't want our face to look cakey so we will skip the loose powder or any compact. Add contour to the cheeks, nose and forehead and blend well to enhance your jawline, cheeks and nose slightly, add highlighter and blush to the cheekbones, nose and a little on cupid bow in an upward direction to glow beautifully with enhanced facial features.
Create a soft smoky eye look with metallic or shimmer eyeshadow to add depth to your eyes. Pair with waterproof eyeliner and mascara because night is long and so should be your makeup.
Depending on your style, choose a gloss stick in rosy mauve or rich berry shade for your lips to do the talking. Finish off your makeup with Gold Glow Oil-Free Makeup Fixing Spray for a fresh and dewy makeup look.
