4 Simple Steps to a Summer Face
Summer is my absolute favorite time of year! I get to wear my most comfortable outfits (dresses & sandals) be outside as much or little as I want (it is still hotter than the sun here) and have family vacations to the beach! Most of the time I only wear sunscreen and go. However, when I do want a finished natural looking glow for a date night with the hubby or a girls night out here is how I achieve it.
1. Use a BB cream or Tinted Moisturizer
BB creams are great as they combine sunscreen with tint for coverage without the heavy feeling foundation/concealer sometimes give. They provide a shimmery summer glow all in one step while still providing some coverage.
2. Use a Bronzer with some Sparkle
I like to use a bronzer that is slightly pinkish in hue and has some sparkle added. Just add a bit to your cheek bones and forehead and you're ready to go. If I really want to look fresh from the beach, I will add a tiny bit of cream blush to the apples of my cheeks and then put the bronzer lightly over.
3. Lighten Up on the Eyes
This is the one area where I really believe less is more. I will use a clear mascara for my brows and eyelashes (I have naturally dark brows & lashes; if yours are lighter then use a brown mascara) this prevents any clumpy looks and keeps it natural with a bit of definition. Use a lightly tinted cream shadow or a bit of the bronzer you used for the cheeks and your done!
4. Have fun with Lips
This is where you can really add as much or little color as you like. I tend to go for a light pink gloss during the day and then add a bit more color at night. Easy Peasy!
