In the midst of summer I thought it would be a good idea to talk about your face! And by that I mean the kind of make up you could wear while on vacation from the beach to your night out!
In this post we 'll be talking about the morning routine!
In the morning, and especially during summer, you don't need to wear much make up! You need to be able to accentuate your features in the most natural way possible, so that you look fresh and beautiful but not overly made up! Yes! we 're talking about the "No make-up, make-up". The clean look of beauty and health! I personally use what some would say is a lot of products but i can assure you that the outcome is quite natural yet flawless!
To begin with, I use a base, Garnier BB cream for combination to oily skin! This is to me a quite thick BB cream that offers a lot of coverage, that still looks like nothing on your face! I use that Real Techniques buffing brush and I prime my skin using Nivea aqua effect day cream, for mat skin! I do not powder my face even though I get oily throughout the day because this lets the foundation blend in with my skin and gives off a healthy glow, rather than an oily mess!
On top of that I use my powder blush in a bright pink shade and I also do a bit of contouring on my cheekbones, but nothing excessive!
On my eyes I use a lot of black mascara and a brown pencil to line all around the eye, which i blend out for a natural look! Sometimes I wear a shimmery champagne shadow all over the lid, or my Two Faced Shadow Insurance primer in Candlelight, which has a shimmery tint to it!
Finally for the lips, you can use a lip gloss with spf or a tinted lip balm for juicy lips! Corals, hot pink and berry colour are really trendy right now! I personally use nothing though cause I find lipstick tends to smudge all over me!
If you were going to the beach however, you would have to make a few changes to your routine. It's generally acknowledged that wearing make up while on the beach is not a good thing for your skin! It can cause premature aging, wrinkles and dark spots! But if you must wear something you need to be very picky about it!
If you need coverage you must choose a very light BB cream with SPF, like Maybeline's perhaps to even out your skin tone and do some spot concealing with a concealer that matches your skin tone! Do not opt for powder cause it's gonna look cakey and muddy after you come out of the water! And to add a bit of color to your face choose a cream blush that offers radiance and pigment without looking like you've got too much on! Also I would avoid contouring as it 's bound to look like you've got a streak on your face after you get out of the water. As far as mascara goes, you can use (nothing!) a clear one just to make your lashes Be there or a waterproof one to avoid smudging! On your lips you need to wear a lip balm with SPF cause believe it or not you can get a lip-burn, plus the sun dries out your lips really bad!
Wish I could be here this summer!
