Summer Makeup Routine

I absolutely love the summer & one of my favorite things about it is how much more natural you can make your makeup.  Your face gets that natural, sun-kissed glow in the summer that allows you to wear far less makeup & still look absolutely gorgeous :) This is an awesome time saver too!
My summer makeup includes:
- Tinted Moisturizer (with SPF15)
- Peachy cream blush
- Barely there lipstick or lip balm
- Brown mascara (I've swapped out my usual black for brown & I'm loving it!)
- Dewy eyeshadow (or jumbo eyeliner pencil) in a light, natural shade

Here are pictures of the products I've been using, but you can swap in whatever you have:


mark "get a tint" (my shade = buff/natural)
mark "just pinched" in shade peachy
optional: you can dust a similar peachy/coral shade over the cream blush for a slightly more dramatic & lasting effect - I've been using the coral shade blush from the e.l.f 120 color palette, but any one will do)








mark Lipclick SPF 15 Color Shine Lipstick in shade Cupid









Avon Super Magnify mascara in Brown









NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in shade Yogurt










A Little Something Extra:
If you want to add a little oomph to your look, you can use a bright, summer color to line underneath your bottom lashes (either use eyeshadow with a eyeliner brush or an eyeliner pencil in your favorite summer shade).  I especially love to use bright blues, greens, or purple.
