Lighter Makeup For The Warmer Weather

As the weeks warm up day by day, and the summer months rapidly approach, the products I usually slap on my face become a little heavy, and in desperate need for a little shakeup. This is my current everyday makeup that is light enough to see you through the summertime, without the need to apply powder 24/7.

For my base I started off with my new favourite new foundation, NARS Sheer Glow in Mont Blanc for a light, dewy finish, blended into the skin with the Zoeva 102 Silk Finish brush. I then proceeded the sweep Rimmel's classic Wake Me Up Concealer under my eye's to cover up the dark circles, and a few blemishes that chose to make an appearance that week. On this particular day the weather was cool enough for me to survive with powder, but if I did need a quick blot, then it wouldn't be anything other than Bourjois Healthy Balance. Time for the brows, and currently I've been using a combination of my all time favourite MAC Charcoal Brown and Maybelline Master Shape Eyebrow Pencil in Blonde.

As for bronzer, which I'm totally having a moment with, I swirled my Real Techniques Expert Face Brush into this gorgeous bronzer for a warm glow around my temples and cheeks. Moving onto eyes, I couldn't give my beloved Too Faced Natural Eyes palette a miss, using two of my current favourites shades, Nudie and Silk Teddy, and blending them into my lid and crease. After giving my lashes a quick curl and a few lashing of Maybelline's Lash Sensational mascara, all I needed was pop on my lippy. Going with the spring/summery feel of this makeup look, I thought a touch of coral would be quite fitting, and I couldn't pass this lovely L'Oreal and Revlon combination.
