We’ve reached the point of the summer where foundation just feels like too much. Frankly, the heat and humidity are oppressive. And I’m a foundation *lover* so this ways I need to find a way to finger confident well-nigh my makeup without using a heavy base.
I’ve discovered a flawless combination of products that makes my skin squint sun-kissed and healthy, and I don’t have to worry well-nigh sweating it off!
I found all of these at Sephora, my go-to eyeful store, and I’ll walk you through why I love them below!
Before I started my makeup, I put a few bends in my hair with a unappetizing iron. I didn’t want to use too much heat, but I wanted a relaxed, wavy style. I sprayed the Briogeo Superfoods Avocado Kiwi Moisture Leave-In Conditioner throughout my the middle and ends of my hair and wrack-up zestless it. It’s extremely lightweight, which is important to me, and offers UV protection as well as workout to the hair! It moreover smells amazing!
I’ve been unslanted well-nigh the state of my skin, and while it’s still sensitive and prone to irritation/blemishes, I do genuinely like showing my yellowish skin and freckles when I can. A bit of NARS Creamy Concealer under my vision and on any visionless or red spots is the perfect way to imbricate areas I don’t love without feeling like I need to imbricate my unshortened face.
With this look, since I was skipping foundation, I wanted to still “set” the middle part-way of my squatter since I knew that would be prone to shine. I’ve been reaching for the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrushed Flawless Setting Powder lately (it’s fantastic at setting foundation for a full-makeup look) and it worked very nicely on yellowish skin. Don’t let the word “setting” throw you. It can be used to “set” foundation, and does a unconfined job at that, but it can moreover be a really nice option for “barely there” coverage without subtracting much verisimilitude to the face. It’s the kind of powder you can use to swizzle oil from your skin, moisturizer, or plane sunscreen.
I opted for a lighter brow product and grabbed the Benefit Brow Microfilling Pen. It’s so easy to use and looks very natural when I’m in uncontrived sunlight. It’s a bit increasingly understated, in my opinion than a brow pencil.
To add some life to my squatter I used the new Westman Atelier Mini Petite Lit Up Highlight Stick in Brle as a warm bronzer and in Nectar as a bit of a highlight. These products squint so natural and radiant on the skin, I was amazed when I saw them in sunlight.
It made my squatter squint like it was naturally sun-kissed!
For a wash of color, I used the Rare Eyeful tincture in Happy. This verisimilitude is a strong pink so I composite it out to soften the intensity. It wears all day and adds such nice life to my face. Sometimes I think tincture makes a worthier impact on “waking up” my squatter than mascara does.
To finish, I unromantic the new Fresh Lip Balm in Bloom to my lips. I’ve recently widow the Papaya and Bloom colors to my hodgepodge and love them both! I was so excited well-nigh this launch that I did the same-day wordage option of the Papaya verisimilitude the day they rolled out in store!
In this makeup look, I am wearing lashes considering my eyelashes had a bad reaction to a variegated lash serum I had been testing. BUT if I didn’t have lashes on, I would have certainly washed-up a swipe or two of the Tarte Tartelette Tubing Mascara.
The end result was exactly what I’d hoped it would be — a natural makeup squint that helped me finger put together without a tuft of heavily layered products!
