Summer Makeup





Summertime is for big sunglasses, flirty dresses, and soda from the bottle with cute straws. 
 day time

I like to keep my makeup relaxed and natural during the summer. Here are the 6 products I will be using the most to achieve that sun-kissed, fresh from the beach look.





clockwise: ELF bronzer, L'Oreal voluminous mascara, Sonia Kashuk "pink punch" lippy, Wet 'n Wild blush, Aveeno Positively Radiant tinted moisturizer, NYC liquid eyeliner.

-Concealer and base can feel really heavy and sticky in the summertime, so I go for a tinted moisturizer instead. Aveeno's is SPF 30 so I don't have to worry about looking like a tomato when the day is done.
-I use bronzer all over my face. I especially love this one because it's got a bit of shimmer to it, and it's $3. You can't beat that friends.
-Surprisingly, this Wet 'n Wild blush is my favorite blush these days. It's bright and stays all day long. 
-Mascara is a quick step that makes a big impact. Swipe on a few layers and you're good to go.
-During the day I skip the liner and go for a bright lip. This Sonia Kashuk lippy in pink punch is such a fun summery color and my lips stay nice and soft while wearing it. 
-For a quick day-to-night switcheroo, I just add a swipe of liquid liner. Instant drama!
