Toasty glam is the hottest summer makeup trend - and here's how to pull it off

With melting foundation, powder that turns patchy and lipstick that's gone before your first iced coffee, summer makeup gets complicated pretty fast. But toasty glam isn’t about perfection anyway. It’s about warmth.

The vibe is golden, bronzed, a little blurred around the edges. Everything you’d want your face to do in July, even if you’ve been inside all week with the fan on full blast.

The palette? Caramel, cocoa, cinnamon. Basically, your spice rack. Keep it tonal. A swipe of bronzer across cheeks, temples, lids. A creamy highlight tapped on with fingers. Long-wear shadow sticks in warm browns that won’t slide off by noon. Lip liner’s doing more work than lipstick this season. It’s all about the overline, then a gloss - the kind that makes your mouth look full and undone, not done.

And the best part: this takes five minutes, maybe less. You don’t need twenty products or a ring light. Just skin, sun tones, and a good mirror. Toasty glam isn’t about looking made up, but about looking warmed up. Like you’ve had a little sun, even if it was just from the living room window.
