I feel like makeup can be such a seasonal thing! When the hotter months roll around, I am definitely a “less is more” kinda gal. Don’t get me wrong: I love feeling glam. But I definitely want my makeup to feel nice and lightweight when its hot and humid out. And I want it to last! Over the last few weeks I have perfected my every day makeup routine and have found products that are perfect for not only the summer season, but also for wearing to work as a nurse!
For face I have been keeping it so simple! @Michelebell21 on instagram has been recommending Cicapair cream (by Dr.Jart) for years and I finally decided to pick some up. Let me tell you, it is so worth it! I have completely stopped wearing foundation. This is a green cream that blends into the skin and helps completely even out your skin tone. It also has SPF 30, so its perfect for wearing under foundation or wearing alone. I personally just conceal under my eyes/spot conceal if needed, and wear the cicapair alone. For concealer I have been obsessed with Fenty Beauty concealer. It is perfect for under the eyes and spot concealing on the face. For days that I feel like I need a little bit more coverage, I add some Bareminerals Bare Pro powder. It gives great coverage and doesn’t break me out. For blush I have been loving a natural blush look and have been using the Nars multiple in Maui. It blends so easily and I think it would look great on a lot of skin tones. I think cream blushes are great for summer time! And of course in the summer, you can’t go without that sun kissed bronzed glow! I have been loving the Fenty beauty Sun Stalk’r bronzer in I$land Ting. I love that Fenty beauty makes products for people of all skin tones! If you’ve ever struggled to find a product that works for your skin tone, be it fair, deep, or somewhere in between, I suggest checking Fenty out! They have blushes, bronzers, foundations, concealers, etc., and they have such a wide range of shades and products! And to finish off my look I spray a couple sprays of my tried and true Urban Decay All Nighter finishing spray.
For eyes I have been keeping it super simple! Mascara, liner, and either cream eyeshadow or this trio from Kaja. My current favorite mascara is the Monsieur Big mascara from Lancome. For liner I love the Fenty flyliner. My cream eyeshadow of choice is from Supergoop! It is a gorgeous bronze color and I love that it has SPF in it. I’m pretty sure I’ve never even thought to apply SPF to my eyelids, but it makes so much sense as that is such a delicate skin area! The Kaja trio is called “Chocolate Dahlia” and has 1 shimmer shadow and 2 mattes. It makes for a perfect eyeshadow look, and works well on top of the cream base as well!
For lips I have been keeping it super simple lately! Gone are the days of uncomfortable matte lipsticks! I have been absolutely loving Dior LipGlow! I have the shade 006 Berry. It gives you the most natural lip color, while feeling like your’e wearing a balm. I usually do one or two swipes and then pat it into my lips for a natural look. I let my mom try it and she immediately picked one up for herself!
So those are my current makeup favs! Perfect for a 10 minutes or less makeup look that makes me feel put together for work or for going out! I’d love to know what your go to make up products are for work/the summer! Comment down below and let me know!
