Thankfully, there are plenty of tutorials to help you out along the way. So, settle in, get those brushes ready and press play on any of these step-by-step videos to let the summer beauty process begin!

Here, you'll see how you can start with a yellow hue and build to make the ultimate vibrant eye shadow moment that's truly just as breathtaking as a sunset. I'm loving the amount of purple that's packed onto the lid in this take on the trend.

3. Shimmer Sunset

Want to take this eye shadow trend up a notch? Add glitter! This tutorial will show you just how to transition from purple to yellow with your shadow and then add a healthy dose of gold shimmer to amp up the glam. The addition of glitter could be a great way to take this shadow from day to night.

4. Pop Of Color

A burgundy eye liner on the waterline really brings this entire look together proving that not only can you experiment with your shadow color, but with your liner shades as well. How fun!

Opting for more pastel hues is a fun way to mix up the trendy. Whether you choose more cotton-candy, pastel colors or opt for the more deep, warm hues, there's no wrong way to rock this makeup.

Well-blended, shimmering shades come together to create a classic smokey eye, but with a colorful upgrade.

These tutorials will have you more than ready to incorporate bright hues into your routine this season. Here's to all of the sunset beauty moments (and you know, actual sunsets) in your future!
