Bright & Colorful Summer Makeup Looks
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know there’s nothing I love more than colorful makeup looks. (And if you just stumbled on this blog randomly, bonjour and bienvenidos! I hope you like it here.) Since summer is the BEST time to rock a bright and colorful lewk, I wanted to round up my fave makeup looks I’ve done that are perfect for the dog days of summer. And don’t worry, I even included one glowy, soft summer makeup idea for days when you just want something easy ‘n breezy.
Iβll link all the makeup tutorials for each look + the products I used to create them, so you can recreate them. Remember to tag me if you do and I’ll share you on my Instagram stories! @debra_jenn

2. Yellow and Red Glitter Eyeshadow
Nothing screams summer to me more than this fiery eyeshadow look! And the red lipstick really sets it off. I’m obsessed.
Products Used:
- Eyeshadow: Colourpop Main Squeeze palette (use code 5DEBRA) — I used this palette as a base underneath the glitter, to make sure the color really popped!
- Glitter:
- NYX Glitter Primer
- ColourPop no longer sells the glitter I used, but J.Cat makes my fave affordable glitter makeup! Try their Sparkling Powder colors Amazing Gold, Tangerine, and King’s Robe for the same effect (use code DEBRAJENN to save money)
- Lips: I used ColourPop Ultra Blotted Lip in Swing Away, but tbh I hate that formula so I cannot recommend you buy it. I’d use Colourpop’s Lippie Stix in Parachute instead (use code 5DEBRA)
- Blush: Il Makiage Blush in Toxic

3. Watermelon Makeup Look
I want to paint my face like a watermelon all summer long! TBH this is such an easy makeup look to pull off, too! It’s just a simple eyeshadow look, an easy line under the eyebrows and easy seeds on the cheeks. So easy, a monkey could do it! (And I am that monkey.)
Products Used:
- Eyeshadow: Colourpop Main Squeeze palette (use code 5DEBRA) — this is my fave red eyeshadow palette!
- Face Paint: Mehron Pro Face Paint Palette for the watermelon seeds and green lines under my brows
- Lips: I used ColourPop’s awful Ultra Blotted Lip for this look, but that formula literally gets crumbly and uncomfortable… but Colourpop’s Lippie Stix are so perfect (one of my fave lipstick formulas!) and the colors Parachute or Trust Me are perfect for this look! (use code 5DEBRA)
- Blush: Jaclyn Hill Rouge Romance blush palette is perfect for getting these ultra-rosy cheeks
