My Summer Face !

Although Summer here in Scotland is pretty much non existent  I still feel obliged to switch up my makeup and try out lighter , creamier products . Over the past few weeks I have found myself using a combination of products which I feel make for a great summer face (whether you live in Barbados or here in not so sunny Glasgow). So here goes !

Face


1. Mac Mineralize Skin finish in Medium - I like to use a little bit of this to set my foundation during the summer months , although summer is all about cream products this powder prevents the skin from looking oily or greasy in the summer sun . This could also be used instead of foundation for a lighter coverage - if you're feeling brave !
2. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum in 53 - This is definitely my foundation of the year so far ! It gives a medium coverage but still leaves the skin looking dewy and ....healthy , this is a great alternative to Nars Sheer Glow foundation . 
3.Benefit Talk to the Tan - This is a product which I didn't really know how to use at first , however this is great for adding to any tinted moisturizers or foundations to add a bit of warmth during the summer months.
4. Bobbi Brown Creamy Concealer in porcelain - I apply a little bit of this under the eyes with my fingers to conceal any dark circles ( perfect for "the morning after the night before" who needs sleep eh?).
5. Maybelline Dream Touch Blush in 06 -These blushes have a fantastic creamy texture and feel great on the skin - these work best when applied using your fingers - handy !

Eyes



1.A very well used Urban Decay Naked Pallete - A great versatile product , perfect for any season .This is a product I definitely couldn't live without .
2.Stilla Smudge Pot in Kitten - This product is marketed as a gel liner , however I tend to use mine as a shadow base , or simply on its own for those hectic days . A great highlight product for your inner corner !
3. Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner in black - A great dupe for Urban Decay's 24/7 liners . Its creamy ,amazingly pigmented and long-lasting , what more can I say ....
4. Loreal Super liner in Crystal Black - This is super easy to apply and is an everyday essential for me . 

Lips


1.Revlon Lip Butter in Strawberry Shortcake - These lip butters are a lovely for  to moisturizing your lips and adding subtle hint of color .
2. Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer in Celestial - Rimmel really are on the ball this season ! These liquid lipsticks are extremely pigmented and long lasting and are also under £5.
4.Revlon Colourstay Lipstick in Socialite - These apply really smoothly and dry with a matte finish . I love these lipsticks however a find using some sort of lip balm over the top prolongs wear and adds a bit of moisture which I feel they lack .
5&6 . Mac Fan Fare and Hot Gossip - You just cant beat a Mac Lipstick - they look great , they smell great and have possibly the best colour range on the market .
7. EOS Lip balm - A Summer Essential , great for keeping your lips soft and kissable !
