Back to school supplies, Halloween décor – really? I know we
all love fall, but please let me enjoy the rest of my summer. Until the temps
actually drop and I lose my tan, I’ll continue my summer makeup routine. If you
want to keep up that bronzed goddess summer glow (yes, please) here’s how:
1. Laura Mercier Primer
A primer is always a good product to start with, especially
in the summer when I want my makeup to stay in place during hot and humid
weather. I’m looking for a primer to help my makeup last and also give me a
subtle summer glow, hence the radiance.
On a day-to-day basis, I typically avoid heavy foundations
in the summer. I feel like when my skin’s naturally a shade or two darker, I
don’t need as much coverage. This lightweight serum foundation morphs to fit
your skin-tone, and I know because my mom swears by this stuff (I’ve also
sampled it a time or two). It starts out white and as you blend, it starts to
magically change color to match your skin-tone. Definitely could see myself
using this as a part of my everyday routine.
3. Hourglass Bronzer
I’m all about illuminating bronzers in the summer and have
heard amazing things about this one by Hourglass. Currently I switch between a
few Milani bronzers from the drugstore, but I’m looking for something with less
of an orange tint. Although this is a bit of price difference from drugstore
bronzer, if it’s the color I’m searching for, it’ll definitely be worth it.
I’ll never be against some extra glow, especially in the
summer. One highlighter I’ve heard about over the years and never actually
tried is MAC’s soft and gentle. I think this summer I just may give in. Glow,
baby, glow.
5. Lorac Pro Contour Kit
I love to brighten up my under-eyes and
currently use the Anastasia contour kit to do so. Since I love Lorac’s
eyeshadows and heard this one is a bit more pigmented, (plus I’m out of the
bright shades in the Anastasia kit) I figured why not try this one next? I
typically only use the contour colors when I do a full face of “going out”
makeup, so those shades come in handy too! **Beauty tip: I use a beauty sponge.
Keep on glowing.
