I have missed you all!!! We are waaaay into summer and yes it has been hot, humid and rainy here on the east coast so it has been difficult to stick to one makeup routine since the weather has went from 103 to 70 degrees all within a few weeks time. I have managed to favor a few products that have been my made summer favorites list. I am also going to include a prom look that I did but never posted.....I'm blaming it on summer fever!!!I promise not to leave you for so long again, I really have missed you.
This summer like any other summer is not foundation friendly so a mattifying primer, bronzer and light concealer have taken me a long way along with some bold lip colors. Here are my favorites so far and I am sure I will have a part 2 as the weather continues to change some more. Enjoy...
*Cover FX Mattifying Primer-* This is such a great primer for summer for so many reasons, it is light, mattifying, has an anti-acne treatment, feels more like a moisturizer and is great under foundation in humid climates. I have even worn it in place of my moisturizer all summer. It is a bit pricey but is worth every dime and a little goes a long way. I have worn it from spring to summer so I am certain it will be great during the fall and winter
*Nars Bronzer in Laguna* This is a great bronzer for most skin tones because it has just the right amount shimmer to make your skin look as if its been kissed by the sun just right. It can also be used for contouring if you are going for more intense look. For the summer, I have mostly replaced my blush with this unless I do a more neutral lip. Other bronzers such as Victoria's Secret and even Maybelline are also great too!
*Makeup Forever Face and Body Foundation* This water-based foundation has been my holy grail for the summer. It is very light with great coverage. It goes on perfectly with a stippling brush or BeautyBlender sponge and provides a very dewy and summery look. Can be powdered down but is great alone. You know I can't say enough good about MUFE sooo....
*MAC Pro Longwear Concealer* Great full coverage concealer as I have used it mostly for dark circles from allergies of lack of sleep! A little goes a very, very long way and again the coverage is fabulous and blends out wonderfully to be a MAC concealer.
Of course I could go on but I will save some for part two of my list. Happy reading lovelies!!!
