Rising temperatures, mangoes, daily dips in the pool… summer has arrived! Not only is this the perfect weather to break out your favourite shorts, but it’s also an excuse to wear all things bright. To get you in the mood for this season, we’ve rounded up 5 punchy shadows that define summer.
1. Revlon ColorStay Shadowlinks In ‘Peacock’
A swipe of blue looks so refreshing! This fun shade looks good on all complexions and really plays up dark eyes. Use a little for a sheer wash of colour or layer it on for an intense effect.
2. Lancome Color Design In ‘Miss Sweetheart D’
This is by far our favourite hue! This funky violet shade makes a dramatic statement and can be work both day and night.
3. NYX Hot Singles Eye Shadow In ‘Butterscotch’
‘Tis the season to experiment! NYX’s matte yellow shadow is edgy and summery, thus making it the perfect pick for every trendsetter.
4. Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream In ‘Acidics Green’
Waterproof products are a must at this time of the year. Enhance your peepers with a shock of this green shadow. The luminous finish, saturated colour and cream formula make it a winner in our books.
5. MAC Eye Shadow In ‘Passionate’
A reddish-pink shadow is ideal for a pool party! MAC’s matte, pigmented shadow can be used wet or dry to create a bold look.
