Add one more to the list of warm-weather afflictions we've turned into beauty advantages. Apart from foundation-dripping-down-your-cheeks heat, summer can be wonderful for makeup. Not sold? We make the case with four looks that reach maximum gorgeousness after a few hours outdoors.

The Stain

There's an easy way and an extra-easy way to recreate this sweet Giles look. Easy way: Using your fingers, blot on a lip and cheek stain, concentrating the liquid in the center of the mouth. Extra-easy way: Eat a Popsicle. The longer it sits, the more it seeps in, giving rosy, makeout mouth vibes.

The Eye Gloss

Sure, Fei Fei Sun's skin is perfectly matte here, but give her a place in the sun, and her low-on-the-cheek bronzer situation will look even better. Normally, you'd suck in your cheeks then sweep powder in the hollow to contour, but when you put blush or bronzer underneath the cheekbone, it creates a sexy natural flush.

The Eyeliner

True model beauty trick: Trace eyes with liner, then get in the shower so it stains the waterline. We're cheating by applying kohl normally, smudging a bit, then mostly forgetting about it.
