The season of sunshine is finally upon us, and in earnest. We like to take this shift in temps as an opportunity to redefine our beauty routines and think about how we're going to make a fresh new style statement. To help you do the same, we've rounded up the 10 celebrity- and runway-inspired trends that we can’t wait to rock in the sweltering days ahead.

From tangerine lips, turquoise lids, and pastel tips to taut topknots, dip-dyed strands, and imperfectly perfect upswept ‘dos, we’ve got everything you'll need to put your best face forward. Ahead, your go-to guide to summery, gorgeous looks that are high-impact and low-effort — exactly what warm weather beauty should be all about.
