  • 3 min read

The perfect summer party makeup look consists of five key elements: a mattifying primer, foundation with SPF protection, long-lasting eye color, shimmery bronze cheeks and a soft, supple pout. By adding these things into your summer makeup look, you’ll be selfie-ready, whether you’re competing in your neighborhood grill-off or celebrating the Fourth of July with family and friends.
