When we hear rumblings of a new makeup trend, we usually brace ourselves for an eye-wateringly long list of so-called essentials required to achieve said viral look.
But in a refreshing and unexpected twist, summer’s hottest makeup look, the toasty makeup trend, is unbelievably simple to achieve. Like, there’s actually only one product you’ll need to add to your kit to really nail the look, and no, it’s not a brow gel.
What Is The Toasty Makeup Trend?
The toasty makeup trend is all about looking as bronzed and sun-warmed as possible, so grab all the blushes in your collection that give you that post-beach day flush.
You’ll need to apply light layers of your go-to cheek makeup in a liquid or cream formula first, followed by a sheer dusting of your favourite powder blush and bronzer on the points of the face where the sun naturally hits.
A word of advice: Your application technique is everything when it comes to toasty makeup.
Fluffy brows should be groomed with a clear brow gel for natural-looking arches, ghost lashes or a single layer of waterproof mascara is a must (to stave off three pm panda eyes at the height of summer), and lips can be lined, glossed, slathered in balm, whatever — they just have to look plump.
How To Nail Toasty Makeup
However, our secret weapon for absolutely nailing toasty makeup — especially in those first few weeks of summer when our complexion is looking a little Addams family — are bronzing drops (think: Ere Perez’s Peach Gel Bronze Drops).
We buff the stuff into our temples, across the bridge of our nose and the tops of our cheeks, but you can also use bronzing drops as a primer under your foundation, or even as a mixing medium for your moisturiser or foundation if you’re after a subtle all-over bronzed glow too.
We love these bronzing drops from Ere Perez specifically, because they don’t just add a subtle, dewy, sun-kissed sheen to skin — the clean formula is also enriched with skin-loving ingredients that improve the appearance of skin over time too. It contains peach extract (which is naturally rich in vitamins A and E) and hydrating watermelon seed oil to prevent the first signs of ageing for smoother and more supple skin in the long run.
Plus, unlike a lot of bronzing drops on the market, which can be messy to apply, this pick has a mess-free nozzle applicator and a quick-drying, transfer-proof finish. In other words, this is one liquid makeup product that you won’t need to set with powder at the end of your routine. Want to pick up a tube for yourself?
