At last, it’s almost time for short-shorts, swimsuits, and hot summer days-also known as the most perfect time of the year-which means it’s also time to try out new set of beauty trends. In search of inspiration, we picked the beautiful minds of makeup artists Yuki Hayashi and Rachel Goodwin to see what is going to be Demi Lovato voice,cool for the summer. Here's what they suggested.

Turn Around Bright Eyes

Bright pops of eye color were all the rage at spring and summer runway shows like Marni and Missoni. Many cosmetic brands have also followed suit, releasing colorful palettes of their own. Favorites include Pat McGrath Labs' Mothership IV Decadence Palette and Marc Jacobs Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eyeshadow Palette. And according to Hayashi, blue eyeshadow will be the biggest trend we see this summer.

Bye-bye heavy contouring and wild blocky brows: “Fresh baby skin with less contouring is becoming a new trend in 2018,” says Hayashi. To create the look, add a touch of bronzer to your skin for a fresh, sun-kissed feel.

Now's the time to revamp your cat eye, says Hayashi. “From the classic, defined cat eye to the smudged, rock-and-roll cat eye, create your own distinct eyeliner shape to show off your individuality,” she says.

Goodwin urges DIY makeup artists to apply a soft citrus wash across the entire lid. Her current orange obsession? “Reborn,” a perfect marigold shade from the new Nars x Erdem Night Garden Eyeshadow palette.

Go on and get hooked on glitter. “There are so many colors and it’s perfect for embellishing eyeliner or color shadow in a subtle way. You can even use it to you create bold shapes or club kid lips,” says Goodwin, who suggests trying Lemonhead Space Paste. Fellow makeup artist Sir John used this for Beyoncé's iconic Coachella performance. Need we say more?

We’ve said it before and we will say it again: Lip gloss is back and it’s poppin’. “Holographic lip gloss looks cool and understated when worn alone with just defined brows, mascara, and softly sculpted cheeks,” explains Goodwin. Dab a bit of product on your eyelids and cheekbones for additional dimension.
