Hi there! Happy Wednesday!
I hope that you are having a great week! It has been hot, sunny, and all around glorious here in Michigan the past week or so, and I’ve been going for minimal “no makeup” makeup. Today I want to share the products I grab when I want (or need!) to get out the door quickly and feel light but put together. This look can be done in less than ten minutes, or as I have been saying 7 products in 7 minutes!
It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Airbrush Perfecting Powder in Fair
I love this because provides light to medium coverage quickly with a powder light finish. I like that this powder foundation is pressed so it is easy to travel with. It contains SPF 50 which I appreicate, while I don’t rely on it as my only SPF protection (read why here). I apply this foundation with a large powder brush after using a makeup primer.
Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer in Fair
I like to conceal my undereye area every day and the Shape Tape is so intense that the tiiiiniest dot is all I really need to lighten up my dark circles.
I love this bronzer in the summer because I can use it to quickly add some color to my face, focusing on the cheekbone area, and then I pinch my brush to lightly sweep it over my eyes for a little glow on the lids.
I always forget how much I love this kit from Too Faced, but the two colors of brow powder, wax, and highlight really make a big impact quickly! I use a brush similar to this one to quickly fill in my brows, using the lighter powder near my nose and getting darker at the arch and the tail ends of my brows.
Kat Von D Tatoo Liner in Trooper
I love this eyeliner! This liner is fantastic whether you want a quick line or a thicker wing and it is always wet so it is never tugging at the skin.
Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara in Waterproof
This is a great mascara because I like a mascara that is a little on the wet side to really oomph up the lashes with just a couple of quick coats! This does smear a bit because it is a pretty wet formula, but can quickly be cleaned up with a q-tip.
L’Oreal Infallible 8 Hour Pro Gloss in 415 Sunset
I love these L’Oreal Infallible glosses because they definitely last longer than most glosses on the lips, but they aren’t so sticky that they drive me crazy. Does it last eight hours? Nah, but it still has a little something-something even after eating and drinking, which I think is good for a gloss! I like the color sunset because it is a summery peachy shade that is flattering on most skin tones. I want to grab more of these!
What are your favorite summer makeup items? I’d love to hear about them : ) Have a wonderful weekend! Almost there! xx
