Your face! (make up for summer) vol.II

So, we talked about morning make-up and beach make-up, which means that this post will be all about afternoon make-up! By this term, I mean make up you can wear on a relaxed afternoon shopping, or over a cup of coffee near the beach or even in the city! Normally I would jump straight ahead to evening make up, but I find that afternoons are a tricky time of the day, make up wise, as you want to be a bit made up but not too much! Also afternoons are a transitional  "stage" to evenings, where you usually need to be a lot more made up and polished, so you need to already have the basics covered!

STEP 1. - FOUNDATION!

In the afternoon, you might want to have a bit more coverage, but still look natural and glowy, yet flawless! You could use a lightweight make up, like Loreal's True Match and True Match Lumi, which are great for the summer as they offer coverage without looking or feeling heavy! However you could use a foundation you feel suits you best, your skin type and skin problems! This is when you want to apply your concealer to the problem areas of your face (as long as it matches your skin tone) and under your eyes! I personally like to use it in a triangle shape underneath my eyes to mimic Kim Kardashian's look! You set everything with powder, optionally and you're done!

STEP 2. - COLOR!

Especially now in the summer you need to add some color to your face by which I mean bronzer blush and optionally again highlighter! You can use the bronzer to either contour or just add some colour to your face by dusting it on the places the sun would naturally hit you (nose, temples). For blush you could use any shade you'd like, but peach and bronze once again are always great for summer. You could however use a hot pink colour or any shade you want, for that matter! Finally you can add some highlighter to really bring out that summer glow!

STEP 3. - EYES AND LIPS!

There are soo many eye looks you can try out this summer, that I could rumble on for ages! Since the make up looks for evening are always a lot more work, I picked out my favourite Youtube videos with night out summer looks to take your pick! In the videos there are also lipstick options that fit each eye look!

Thank you for your time!
