Brat Summer Makeup

Ready to channel your inner pop star this summer? Take a cue from Charli XCX and dive into the "Brat Summer" makeup trend. This look is all about bold colors, playful vibes, and a fearless attitude. Whether you're heading to a festival, a beach party, or just want to feel like a star, here's how to achieve the ultimate Brat Summer makeup look inspired by Charli XCX.

Step 1: Radiant Base
Start with a fresh, glowing base. Use a lightweight, dewy foundation to keep your skin looking radiant and natural. Apply a touch of concealer where needed and blend everything seamlessly.

 



Step 2: Playful Eyes
The eyes are the focal point of the Brat Summer look. Go for bright, bold eyeshadow colors that scream fun and summer vibes. Think neon pinks, electric blues, and vibrant purples.

-Lid: Apply a neon pink or purple shade all over your lid using a flat brush.
-Crease: Blend a contrasting color like electric blue into your crease to add depth.
-Lower Lash Line: Smudge a bold color along your lower lash line for a cohesive look.
-Inner Corner: Highlight the inner corners with a shimmering light shade for a pop of brightness.

Finish with a dramatic winged eyeliner and several coats of volumizing mascara. If you're feeling extra daring, add some glitter or rhinestones around your eyes for that true pop star sparkle.

 



Step 3: Rosy Cheeks
Add a flush of color to your cheeks with a bright pink blush. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards towards your temples for a youthful, sun-kissed look.

 



Step 4: Bold Lips
Charli XCX is known for her daring lip choices. For the Brat Summer look, go for a bold lip color that stands out. Bright pinks, fiery reds, or even a neon coral can be perfect.

 




Step 5: Finishing Touches
Set your makeup with a setting spray to keep it looking fresh all day long. This will give your skin a dewy finish and ensure your makeup stays put through all your summer adventures.


The Brat Summer makeup look is all about embracing boldness, fun, and a touch of rebellion. Just like Charli XCX, don’t be afraid to push the boundaries and experiment with bright colors and playful elements. This summer, let your makeup reflect your vibrant personality and fearless attitude. So go ahead, get creative, and rock that Brat Summer look with confidence!
