Get the look: summer party styles

As we creep closer towards the sunny season, poker straight locks and a full face of make-up tend to seem less and less practical. Come summertime, it’s far easier to rock some sultry beach waves or a quick and easy bun, and a barely-there complexion with a pop of gloss, or some emphasis on the eyes.
So in honour of the rising temperatures, we thought we’d deliver you four summer party looks that will have you feeling perfectly in place either in the surf, on the sand or sipping cocktails at the bar…

Bronzed and earthy with Olivia Palermo
We’re loving Liv’s use of earthy hues that work to accentuate her features without looking too overdone. This look is perfect to recreate for a night spent sipping on pina coladas.
Get the look:
- - Begin by applying a sheer matte base that won’t encourage a midnight oil slick. We like: BareMinerals Matte Foundation.
- - Get sunkissed with a swipe of bronzer where the sun would normally hit – that’s cheekbones, bridge of nose, jawline and forehead. Try: Adorn Loose Bronzer.
- - Starting from the inner corner of your eye and working outwards, define your upper lash line with a long-wear gel eyeliner. We like: Clinique Eye Defining Liquid Liner.
- - Pop some falsies on your lashes, and slick them with mascara, making your peepers the perfect focal point. We use: Revlon Fantasy Lengths Self Adhesive Lashes.
- - Finish with a light dusting of peachy-pink blush to the cheeks, and a pop of gloss to the lips. We like: Bloom Pure Mineral Radiant Touch Blush in Peach.

Do you believe in the eye or lip philosophy? Or do you think Olivia needs a little lippy?

Looks gorgeous. Sadly I'm so pale I think this would look unnatural on me :(

This would be my pick for the fave look - very natural without being too OTT.

I like this look, I have to be more adventurous and try my false lashes during the day as it really emphasises her gorgeous eyes.

what a magnificent look! great job by the makeup artist the colors complement her skin tone to perfection..but she could definitely use a neutral shade of lip stain!

What a gorgeous look! Sadly bronzer doesnt work on my skin it tends to make my skin look like its in need of a wash!

love this look.. gorgeous! I really do believe you should only emphasize eyes or lips not both at once, so this is perfect!

Stunning! So fresh and gorgeous....
I have had Mac's mineralise blush in 'nuance' (a gorgeous peach shade)on my own wishlist for a while, after seeing this look I think I'm going to have to grab it!
I'm a firm believer in the 'eye's or lips' rule and usually opt for eyes with some nude gloss myself
