Don’t know where to begin? Why worry when you have us! We have picked five fun yet easy makeup ideas that are sure to make you look like a million bucks in those vacay selfies. So what are you waiting for? Scroll down and try them all.

Floating eyeliner was a huge trend a few years ago, and guess what, it has made a comeback! Of course, now with a trendy touch. Instead of drawing a big floating line, opt for a half floating line starting from the centre of your eyelid and ending just below the ends of your brows. Draw another neat winged line close to the lash line and end it right below the first to get this gorgeous look.
BB picks: Lakmé Eyeconic Liquid Eyeliner
02. Blushadow

Is it a blush, is it an eyeshadow, or is it both? Blushadow involves blending your blush all the way up to your eyelids and temples to get a slightly OTT look. Perfect for vacation looks as you won’t have to carry too many products along. It was a huge makeup trend back in 2012 and is making a comeback now.
