Summer season is officially here! While we aren’t particularly excited about the sweltering heat and constant humidity, we are so looking forward to getting our colourful eyeshadow palettes out from hibernation after almost a year and adding a pop of colour to our everyday makeup looks.
Here are five simple, chic and absolutely summer-appropriate colourful eye makeup looks that you need to try this season. What’s more? All these looks also have your favourite celebrity’s stamp of approval. Scroll down to take your pick…

Purple eye makeup looks are trending this year, and if you haven’t had a chance to sport this lovely colour, then summer is the perfect opportunity to wear it. Simply colour your entire lid in a pretty hue of purple, sweep on a thin flick of liner and define your lashes with some mascara to make your eyes pop.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Infinity Eye Shadow Palette - Pink Paradise
02. Green queen

Even though green isn’t a very obvious choice of eyeshadow colour, Kiriti Sanon makes it look absolutely effortless. To make the colour pop, start applying some concealer to cancel out any discolouration and then go in with green eyeshadow. Apply a little bit of the same colour on your waterline and smudge it out just a little bit to complete this beautiful eye makeup.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Infinity Eye Shadow Palette - Coral Sunset.
03. Candy love

Ideal for makeup minimalists, this peach eye makeup look by Nushrratt Bharuccha gives off such amazing summer vacay vibes. We absolutely love how quick and simple it is to recreate this look. Simply apply a peachy eyeshadow all over your lid and extend some of it to your lower lash line as well. Curl your lashes and apply two coats of mascara for maximum definition.
