Cabana Service: Buxom’s Poolside Summer Makeup Look

June 10, 2024

Hey babes! Ready for a slaycation? Whether you’re going to the tropics, the coasts, or your very own backyard, you’re not going to want to miss this easy summer makeup look. Featuring our new, limited-edition collection, Dolly’s Glam Getaway, we’re showing you how to use our favorite summer makeup products to create a look that’s light, fresh, yet oh-so-sexy. Let’s begin. 

Must-Have Summer Makeup Products 

When it comes to summer makeup products, you don’t want anything too heavy or dark. That’s why we created our Dolly’s Glam Getaway Collection. Featuring our #1 best-selling shade Dolly, a pinky mauve, you’ll get a soft summer eyeshadow palette and the perfect summer lip gloss combo that’s ideal for days by the pool. 

The Best Soft Summer Eyeshadow Palette

The reason we love this soft summer eyeshadow palette is simple: It features six richly pigmented shades that deliver long-lasting wear and dual wet/dry intensity (technically, totaling 12 different shades). This means you can use this mauve eyeshadow palette for virtually any look, but it’s especially great for a light summer makeup look. This is how our very own David Birdwell recommends using it: 

Step One 

Place shade ROSE AND PLAY all over the lid. 

Step Two 

Next, blend SARONG into the outer corner of the eye to add some dimension. 

Step Three 

Add a little brightness by blending FLIRTY FROSE into the inner corner to enhance the eye shape and make you seem more awake. 

Step Four 

Using our Power Line™ Lasting Eyeliner in the shade MIDNIGHT SPARKLE, line the upper lash line. 

Step Five 

Finally, add a layer of BUXOM® Lash Volumizing Mascara to the top and bottom lashes for an extra flirty look.
