A poolside conversation with one of the S's got me to thinking about how my summer beauty routine is different from any other time of year. Typically, I don't do much in the way of changing the products I use based on the weather, I usually just have a different routine for day and evening, but this summer I actually did change things up a bit, so I wanted to share with you. This is my "quick and easy I don't feel like putting on makeup but still want to look pretty" method.
I start by mixing together some Laura Mercier Oil Free Tinted Moisturizer and some Fresh High Noon Freshface Glow and applying it all over my face with my fingers. Then I apply Urban Decay Primer Potion to my eyelids, mark. Eyemarker Eyeliner in Java to my top & bottom lashlines, and some Maybelline Great Lash BIG to make my lashes pop. Then I put Benefit Benetint on my cheeks and lips and blend.
Last but not least I use one of my mark. mini brushes to apply some Smashbox Baked powder (can't find this online anywhere- must be a retired product...I got mine for $5) over my entire face to create a more bronzy glow.
If I'm feeling saucy, I also add some eyeshadow from my Smashbox Eyelights Palette in Strobe to make my eyes appear brighter.
I curl my eyelashes, throw on a little gloss and there you have it! A quick and easy daytime summer beauty routine!
I am curious- what are your go-to summer beauty products?

ReplyDeleteOoooohhhhh...I love the color of Viva Glam Gaga but never bought any...I need to get some of that!! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't use much in the summer, except Neutrogena oil free moisterizer. If I do wear makeup, then I keep it simple with as little product as possible.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering, have you ever tried any other type of eyelid primers? I've heard raves about the urban decay primer, and I bought it, and I have to say I wasn't that impressed. I've used Benefit Lemonaid for a few years and I lvoe that one. It's creamy though so you have to get your fingers dirty, but for me it's worth it.
