Everyday Simple Summer Makeup

During the summer nobody likes caking on makeup or wearing makeup at all sometimes. I like as little as possible anyway just because I don't like the feeling of makeup on my face. Also I don't like when people can really tell I'm wearing makeup, that's annoying. I wear just enough to cover up any blemishes or cover the dark circles under my eyes. So here you see I just got out of the shower and my face is washed and moisturized. It is all ready so I can show you my finished everyday summer look.

I have never had a problem not wearing makeup out. So here you are seeing the all natural look without makeup. I start off with Ulta's Professional Matte Prime to give my makeup a base. It helps to keep my face matte. It is not tinted in any way, so you can't really tell where you have put it on. I personally do not like liquid foundations because they seem so thick and unnatural. I have found that Bb cream is the perfect solution for me. For those who don't know what Bb cream is, it has more coverage than a tinted mousturizer, but not as much coverage as a foundation. I like that because I like the natural look. I haven't had bad breakouts since I was younger so coverage has not been a big problem for me. For my everyday makeup, I use Maybelline New York's Dream Fresh BB cream in light/medium. I do find this shade to be a bit lighter on my skin, but the medium is too dark for my skin tone.

Next, I use Maybelline New York's Dream Lumi touch highlighting concealer in nude. I use this under my eyes as it highlights this area, which happens to be my biggest concern. Then I use it to cover any other imperfections on my face. I use a powder brush to cover my entire face with L'oreal Paris's True Match super-blendable powder in buff beige (n4). This helps to make everything look more natural.

Blush is always something you want to look natural and in the summer coral seems to work for most people. My favorite blush for summer is Milani's baked powder blush in Luminoso (05). It gives the perfect balancing blush and shine. It highlights your upper cheek bones and gives the apples of your cheek just enough color.

When finished with all my face makeup I am left with my eyes and lips. For eyes, this summer I have found a new favorite mascara that I got for free at Ulta for my birthday as part of their rewards program. It is called ck one by Calvin Klein. It is the most natural looking and feeling mascara I have ever used. The brush is also amazing! You can twist the top to squeeze the brush and make the bristles closer together. I use this feature when getting my bottom lashes. It's like two brushes in one!! I don't use any other eye makeup as it's summer and it's unnecessary. For lips, I use Maybelline New York's Baby Lips Crystal in Gleaming Coral (135). As you have read in a previous blog post, I am obsessed with baby lips. This is no exception. I recently picked this one up and it is slightly tinted with sparkle. Just enough for that summer look.

And there you have it. The finished everyday summer makeup look with all the products shown and mentioned.
