Summer is winding and so I have found myself soaking up all thats left. Trips to the pool, doing
my morning workout outside, going out to get ice cream, and summer makeup is all still on the
agenda. Don't get me wrong though, I am SO excited for fall, as it is my favorite season! But
because I am still in summer mode I thought I would share with you my all the products I have
reaching for to create my go to look. I hope you enjoy!
When it comes to foundation I rarely change it up. I am very faithful to the Covergirl Outlast
Stay Luminous Foundation (I am in the color 820: creamy natural). I like my foundation quite
dewy because I tend to have dryer skin and a matte finish just doesn't work for my skin type
plus I feel like my skin looks more glowy and natural. For concealer I have been using the cover
stick by Maybelline. This stuff is really thick and full coverage. I find it lasts way longer than
some of the others I have used in the past. I use the color light beige which is slightly lighter than
my actual skin tone. I find that this helps brighten up my under eye area.
The bronzer that I have been reaching for the most lately is my Chocolate Soleil by Too Faced,
which (bonus!) actually smells like chocolate! I really like the matte finish and I find it really
blendable, which can kind of be a hassle with bronzer sometimes.
It's no secret that my favorite spring/summer blush of all time is Full of Joy by MAC it is THE
perfect baby doll pink with just a hint of lavender. It makes the face look so dewy and fresh and
I just think it should be a staple in every girls collection.
On to my favorite part, highlight! I received the OFRA You Glow Girl highlighter in my August
Ipsy bag and I got so excited because I saw it reviewed on Rachhloves YouTube channel
(the girl knows about highlight!) and I really wanted to try it. It is no joke and has quickly
become one of my favorites. I have been using it almost everyday and it just gives the most
beautiful glow to the high points of the face. I will definitely be repurchasing it in the full size
when I am finished with the sample and I highly recommend it to all of you!
When it comes to eyes I have been keeping it really simple. I have been loving the NARS
eyeshadow duo in the shade Alhambra. They are so pigmented and really easy to work with. So
what I do is take the gold shade (on the right) and sweep it all over my eyelid then I just take a
little bit of my bronzer and pop a little bit in the crease to add a little bit of definition. I then use
the champaign shade on the left and put a little bit underneath my brow bone and in the inner
corner of my eye. After my eyeshadow has been applied I take a brown liner (from Covergirl) and
line my upper eyelid, then I smudge it out. I also use it to line the rim of my bottom lid. I think
the brown really complements the gold toned shades plus its really soft. I find that for me, black
liner is often too harsh for an everyday look.
Last but not least are lips. Lilac Flush by Maybelline has been my go to color. It's such a
beautiful shade of pink and it complements the blush I've been using really well. It's also really
moisturizing, which is always a plus. I just put a little bit on my lips and then really rub it in with
my fingers to give it a sheerer look. I think it looks a little bit more understated this way.
Well that's it, guys, just pop on some mascara and you're done! Overall I think this look is really simple and perfect for soaking up the remainder of summer! I hope you all have a blessed week!
