Summer Makeup Essentials
I usually start my makeup on a summers day with my Dove 'summer glow, nourishing lotion' which is almost like a self tanner, however it's gradual and matches to your natural skin tone, this means it doesn't go orange or too dark but gives off a natural shimmer.
I then like to move on to a BB cream and this one i use if by NYC and it's in the shade light. I tend to head towards a BB cream over a foundation because i don't like the way a foundation on a hot day almost melts off my face, so i stick with a light weight coverage.
I like to up my coverage using a concealer, which is the Rimmel London 'Wake me up' concealer in light and i like to use this to cover up any redness of blemishes that the cream didn't cover, i don't go too heavy with this because it is slightly darker than the cream so i have to make sure i blend super well.
Using a bronzer to me is a must and i prefer this over a blusher, just because, as i am naturally fair skin toned i have quite a bit of redness from the sun so i feel a blusher is too much. Therefore, i add some bronzer around my face to warm it up and give off a natural glow. The one i have chosen is Rimmel London 'natural glow'.
When it comes to eye-shadows i don't use a lot, I've chosen this one today which is by the brand 17 and is in the colour 'Cadillac' and it is a soft pinky/purple colour. I like the use this as it warms up my eyes and mattes them out so they don't get greasy in the sun.
Now choosing lipsticks to me is always the hardest part of my makeup routine and this is because there's so much choice. However, today i have chosen 2 of my most used during the summer time. Again by the brand 17 in the colour 'dreamy' which is a bright pink which compliments my eye colour well. I have also chosen a orangery/red/coral colour which is Rimmel London Kate Moss in '110' and this is probably my most used as it is super bright and super summery.
That concludes my summer makeup essentials, i really hope you enjoyed this post and have found some new products to test out. Make sure you check Sara's post, the link is in the intro. I will speak to you all soon!
