Summer Makeup Tips
It's officially Summer! Which means, it's time to update your beauty routine! Before you rush off to the nearest Sephora, check out my summer must haves to keep you looking flawless, effortless and perfectly imperfect all summer long.
Ditch Your Foundation
I love Tarte's BB Cream and Tinted Moisturizer. The BB cream is great for us oily gals! Both products have SPF in them and are cruelty free! They can be had at tartecosmetics.com
Waterproof Mascara is a Must!
I love MAC's False Lashes Waterproof. It's not super tacky or waxy like other waterproof formulas and it gives me the volume and length that I love. It's also easily removable with your makeup remover. No scrubbing those lashes! It can be had at maccosmetics.com
Protect Your Lips!
I love Sugar Rosé from Fresh. It hydrates your lips and protects with SPF 15. It also has a great rose tint to it for a little pop of color. This formula comes in multiple shades to satisfy your lip needs. You can get it at fresh.com
Don't Forget to Bronze...
Who doesn't love a bronze goddess? Get a summer glow without exposure to the sun's harmful rays. I love Make Up For Ever's Pro Bronze Fusion. This product gives the perfect luminous bronze glow that all of us gals want! It comes in multiple shades and is versatile to use in the summer or winter. You can score it for $36 at makeupforever.com
Protect Your Skin
Overall skin protection. I've been loving Elta MD's UV Aero Broad-Spectrum SPF 45 this year so far. Application is super easy as it is a spray sunscreen. The best part is it leaves NO greasy residue behind. It's also mineral based which is better for your body. Find it at eltamd.com.
Hydrate From The Inside - Out
Drink lots of water! Okay, now I sound like your mom, but in all seriousness water is your best friend. Keeping yourself hydrated will keep your skin looking radiant and fresh, as well as keep you feeling your best (especially after a few cocktails). I like to drink my water with some fresh lemon or strawberry with mint. It's yummy!
