Semester is almost over and the weather is getting better(although it is storming right now, at least we don’t have snow in lovely southern Wisconsin). So of course I am beginning to shift out my winter stuff and pull out my summer things.
These are some of my favorites that will be apart of my makeup arsenal this summer:
I love this because it is waterproof so it won’t sweat off like all my other makeup and also, I am not a huge fan on a big sparkly bronze face(no offense snooki). So this is a great mix that I use for contouring and also a nice tan look depending on what brush I use with it.
If I do want a little more shimmer, I reach for this highlighter from MAC. It gives a glow and when placed on your cheekbones, it is perfect for a summer night.
Smashbox Be Legendary Lipstick-Pout
I die for this lipstick. Goes perfect with a bronzed and tanned body/face. It is a bit lighter than this picture shows FYI. Best part about it: doesn’t feel like a lipstick. Oh yes my friends, it feels silky smooth and doesn’t dry out your lips. I don’t apply it like a normal lipstick by dragging it across all of my lips. I first make sure my foundation has been dabbed on my lips to give a neutral base and then I also dab it on a few spots and spread it around with my lips. I like just the hint of it for the day time.
Here is how they looked when put together:
The lighting isn’t very helpful in terms of seeing it perfectly, but the makeup definitely is working for a great summer glow. *Please ignore the nostril shot*
Any other makeup must-haves for summer? Let me know! I love the feedback and my makeup drawer could use some new friends 😉
