If you're the type of person that could spend hours in Target or Sephora looking at make-up, same. I love make-up, not necessarily because of the way it changes how I look, but more so because it's almost therapeutic to have some "me time" when I'm putting it on. Summer is my favorite beauty season because everyone is all about that glow and pretty shimmer. The products I have listed below are my favorite, go-to summer beauty items.
1. L'Oréal True Match Lumi Cushion Foundation
This is my favorite foundation for summer for many reasons. First off, it is so fun to apply. When you open it up there is a little sponge drenched in the foundation that you can either dip your handy beauty blender into for a softer look or go for more full coverage with a make-up brush. Either way it looks gorgeous on your skin, giving you a nice subtle glow. This product is a true 10/10 in my books.
2. Urban Decay Afterglow 8-Hour Highlighter in "Fireball"
At first glance, you may think that this product is a blush, but you'd be wrong. This is a beautiful highlighter for those ladies out there with a more pink complexion, like myself. Normally I stay away from any face product that looks a little pink because I have all the pink I need on my cheeks but this product is amazing and leaves the perfect amount of shimmer on the cheekbones.
3. L'Oréal Infallible Eyeshadow in "Amber Rush"
What can I say, I love L'Oréal products! This is the most stunning eyeshadow ever in my opinion. It's the perfect rose gold color to match your iPhone 6s and look like a glowing goddess during the summer. The formula is super creamy and blends easily yet stays on my lids all day.
4. Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss in "Rose and Shine"
Step aside Kylie, this lip gloss has yours beat. First off they smell like chocolate cake and who doesn't want that on their lips? Secondly this color is the perfect pinky-nude to pair with all the products listed above. Third, it gives your lips a subtle plumping without looking like you just got stung on your mouth by a bee. Plus, the name is clever.
5. Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
This literally goes on like butter. It is the perfect summer bronzer because it has a tiny bit of shimmer to give you a sun-kissed glow, even if you never leave the house. It's also the perfect shade.
So there you have it. If you are looking to spruce up your make-up look for what's left of summer than I highly recommend these products. Most are pretty affordable and can be found at any drugstore, except for the Urban Decay highlighter, which you may have to take a dangerous trip to Sephora and try to come out with some money left in your bank account. So go get yourself looking like the glowing fairy, summer goddess you were born to be!
