Hi pretties! Please forgive my absence things at work have been nuts again and when I get home I usually crash! blah!
Now that summer is in full swing and the mercury is at a steady 95+ degrees I have really gotten down to the bare essentials for make-up. I am always nervous too much heavy make-up will make me break out. So I wanted to share with you my favorite summer face that is simple and sweet for these insanely hot days!
First, I started with Garnier Sheer Tint Anti-Dark Circle Roller. It gives the right amount of coverage to wear as concealer (for me anyway), the roller is a great way to wake your eyes up (plus caffeine in the formula is said to de-puff your eyes), and it has softened my dark circles because I can wear it under my make-up.
Next, is a tinted moisturizer. I decided to try Smashbox camera ready BB Cream with SPF 35. This formula is supposed to not only provide coverage but also fight against blemishes. Also, I've been trying to use more SPF to protect my epidermis :)
I have the Urban Decay Naked palette, and if you don't you should try it! I mix Virgin with the color below for a natural yet brightened up color
This is the color Naked from the palette, it's the closest to my skin tone but looks really pretty when mixed with Virgin
I give my lips some color with the Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Candy Apple. It's more of a tint than a lipstick so it doesn't melt and gives long lasting color. This red compliments a lot of skin tones.
Then, I dust Nars bronzers in Orgasm across my cheekbones, hair line and a little on my neck to add some color and enhance my tan.
To finish I use whatever mascara I grab and go! It's easy and really brightens the face. If you're not too keen on red lip stain/lipstick then opt out for your favorite bold color. Now off to the fireworks!
CHEESE!
xoxo
