Last year, sunset blush became a viral makeup trend, and this summer, we’ve seen an extension of this trend onto the rest of the face. Inspired by the warmth and colours of the sky at sunset, sunset makeup consists of warm, radiant hues mimicking the natural glow of the sun.
Think bronze, gold, shades of yellow, orange and pink on the eyes, lips, cheeks and nails… Sunset makeup is just what summer ordered, and works well on any occasion. Plus, there aren’t any hard and fast rules or specific techniques – it’s all about the colours. We jumped on this trend as soon as it made itself known, and have been wearing sunset makeup colours pretty much every day this season.
The beauty of this trend, is that it suits everyone, from the very fairest of skins to the deepest of skin tones. It’s just about finding the right hues that suit your skin colour and undertone.
