Everyday Summer Makeup!



Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii everyone!
Just as much as I hate doing my hair in this heat-- I hate caking on makeup.
It just gets way to sweaty and hot with tons of makeup on during the day. Most days I honestly usually just say F makeup. Because aint nobody want to have on a full face of makeup on at the pool, or just in general with this heat. I know you all are probably thinking, "You're from New York, it could be worse." But listen, it's hot for me. Especially because it's been hot AND rainy lately. Muggy is the best weather for  a perfect contour and extravagant smokey eye. The things I would rather do.... Some days though I do want to look somewhat done up and put together, so I put together an everyday makeup look! I hope you love it! 


...


First, you always want to moisturize and use SPF. This is a must!

Then, I used Mac Face and Body.. This is perfect for Summer! It is sooooo thin, but can be built up to medium or full coverage for night. Buff this all over the skin. I wouldn't use a beauty blender with this foundation because its water based! My favorite thing about this foundation is you don't feel it. Ever.

For Bronzer, I stuck with a mousse, rather than a powder. I used Soleil Tan De Chanel. This really just gives you that bronze look without feeling like you have tons on your face.

After your done with all your liquids, set everything. This is a huge step for Summer unless your makeup is going to run down your face and you are going to look like the greasiest of all the balls.

For blush, I used Macs Melba and for highlight Soft & Gentle. I like Melba because it is so natural and the highlighter looks so natural! Put this right above your cheekbone and sweep above right where your arch of your brow is. AND BAM! You will look like a bronze, dewy goodess. Because who doesn't want that?!

To open your eyes a bit, take a nude eyeliner in your waterline and a white shimmery color right in your tear ducts. This will make you look wide awake even if you were out all night! Then, apply mascara to your top and bottom lashes.

To finish the look off, I used Mac Lipglass in Razzle Dazzler, first because who doesn't love a peach lip for Summer and second because cmon Razzle Dazzler. I think I would use it for the name even if it was brown. Its just so catchy!

And thats your finished makeup look! Perfect for Everyday and sooooooo beautiful!
Let me know what your favorite makeup for Summer is in the comments..
Sorry if these products were a little pricy-- BUT look out for a more budget friendly Summer Nightlook coming so soon!

If I was stuck on a desert island and could only bring one thing.........



A few months ago, I wandered into the Buffalo Mac counter and my whole entire life changed... Ok, I am exaggerating a little bit. But I swear just a little! I have been seeing this little gem on YouTube and many other girls blogs for a while now and I never believed that it was that great.. Like honestly, what was all the fuss about?!? So on that day, March the 3rd, 2014... Jk I don't know the exact date.... I realized that all the hype for Macs Fix + was true... It really was THAT amazing. And so worth the 20 something dollars! I can not imagine my life without it. I swear to the lord. 

Per the Mac website: 
An aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm the skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up! 

AND ITS $21! Cant beat that.


Fix + is literally the answer to all my makeup problems.. If I was stuck on a desert island and could only pick one product I would honestly pick this. You know when you buy eye shadows from the drugstore and they never look as amazing on your lid as they do in the package? They are never pigmented and always chalky looking. Spray Fix+ on your brush then dip into the powder and apply and BAM! Expensive looking eyeshadow that stays all day! Without the price tag.. Who woulda thunk.



All of the colors on the left are without Fix+ and the one following is with it. You can tell a huge difference! 

Its also amazing for when you do all your foundation think you look amaze balls then set the powder so it will last all day for my oily girls and you look like a cake ball and it looks nowhere near natural. We have all been there. Even if you are just wearing a full coverage foundation it can look crazy cake. After you are finished, mist it on arms length away and its crazy the difference.


Other uses:
When you are all done with your makeup it is also great for setting all of your hard work to last ages! 
When you need a pick me up on hot summer days just spritz this and your face will drink it right on up.
You know those really glittery shadows that the second you pick up it falls all over your face? If you spray this on your brush it picks up the glitter and acts like a bonding agent to your lid!
If your foundation is thick spray some of this onto a small bowl with your foundation and it will lighten it up.

NOW GO BUY IT! IT WILL SAVE WORLD HUNGER!

........but really go buy it, you won't be sorry ;)
