Makeup is such a treat! Every morning when you put your face on, you are essentially putting your best self forward. We love how makeup can spark instant confidence and self love, and we absolutely love breaking all the makeup rules to fit our true authentic selves. With that said, we know that summer can feel a bit tricky when trying to update your foundation to match your sun-kissed (protected) skin. We have a few hacks to share with you to find the perfect summer match!
1. CC Cream: If you are one to get a little bit of color on your face, but not enough to warrant purchasing a new base in a deeper shade, use our CC Cream one shade darker than your skin, then top it with your current base for the perfect, warm summer match.
2. Age Defying Treatment Concealer and Loose Base: If you are looking to achieve the perfect, dewy summer glow, we love combining our Age Defying Treatment Concealer (one shade lighter) as a flat highlighter, then topping it with our full coverage, dewy finish loose base for the perfect, multi-dimensional complexion.
3. Pressed Base: If you tend to get quite a bit of color during the summer months, you can certainly switch up the shade of your Pressed Base. If you tend to get deep caramel colored, switch to a shade in the Golden family, if you tend to get more peach go for a shade in the Natural family and if you get more of a pink/red tan, stick with a shade in the Beige family. You can also use Honey or Olive to warm up your winter base!
4. Bronzer: Bronzer is the oldest, and most popular go-to to adjust the warmth of your foundation. Use the Full Face Brush and sweep a light dusting of bronzer all over, or use the rule of 3 (tune in here to learn all about it)!
Summer time is for patios, sangria, and hot balmy nights. We know that wearing a ton of makeup in the summer is not ideal, so we created a sultry summer smokey eye look that is easy, minimal and simply... hot-to-trot! You can still add a little drama to your summer look without having to pile it on.
Create this look by following along with our video below and check out the products we used to create this simple, smokey eye!
