Soft Summer Shimmer
14th Jun 2017
Summer inspires shimmery vibes of saturated hues and subtle metallics. We love how a hint of sparkle enhances a warm summer glow. Here are a few ways you can shimmer this summer!
Face
Kick up that summer glow a notch with a little radiance. Using your fingers or a sponge, apply Aura Bronzing Gel to where the sun would naturally kiss your face. Its soothing blend of hydrating extracts of lemongrass, ginseng, chamomile, comfrey, cucumber, aloe ver, and Japanese green tea contains a generous helping of golden bronze shimmer. Wear it alone, or, mix it in with your favorite foundation.
Eyes
The easiest place to add a bit of shimmer is to the eyes. To keep the shimmer from creeping, first apply a good eye primer, such as PRIMED. Then use a neutral metallic, such as Gold, Rose Gold, Bronze and Copper Metallic Powder
Or, go for a more fun, bright saturated hue. Our Precious Gem Powder line has a rainbow of highly-pigment infused colors with a silky-soft sparkle.
To incorporate some subtle sparkle, try:
- Swiping the shimmer over the entire lid
- Using it as a liner to add extra glow
- Strategically dabbing a bit to the inner corners of the eye to brighten and define
- Swiping a light color just under the brow bone to lift the face
Here are a few shimmery eye makeup ideas we found on Instagram using Mehron products to get you inspired.

Lips
Shimmery lips are a fun way to brighten the face. Pat on some Precious Gem Powder or Metallic Powder over your lipstick, or mix in with Glosstone Pro to create your own custom color. Combine them with Mixing Liquid to create liquid lipstick that dries completely and is water resistant. We love how Metallic Powder added a bit of whimsy in these lip looks.
