Summer Beach Makeup look with Archetype Cosmetics

I've been browsing the internet looking for some beach makeup looks. I can't find anything that really screams BEACH. When I think of the beach, warm sand, golden sun and sparkling water comes to mind. So I wanted to create a look that sort of represents those elements. I didn't use false lashes or liner to keep it bright and simple. What do you think?

  6. I think you look best with darker cooler colors. These are such warm colors it seems to wash you out. The gold lip effect is really neat though!

  7. Yes, this does look beachy. And the Halloween gold shimmer lipstick works for a summery-beach look.

  9. I actually did a similar look to this a few days ago, with yellow on the lid, orange in the crease and a darker teal liner. Great minds think alike :)
