Minimal Summer Makeup Routine
I’ve finally found it!
A minimal summer makeup routine with high SPF that still looks great! And I can do it in under five minutes.
Of course I’m barely seeing anyone else, but it makes me feel better to have a little makeup on. So, here’s what I’ve been using!
Step One: Skinbetter Science Tone Smart SPF 68 Sunscreen Compact
This stuff is awesome! It’s a physical sunscreen with a high SPF that makes your skin look amazing. It adjusts to match your skin tone and blurs imperfections. It works well as a primer under foundation. But, these days I’m using it alone to get that “your skin but better” look. It comes with a little anti-microbial pad to apply and it only take a few swipes!
Step Two: Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Concealer
I love this concealer! It’s full coverage without being dry. I would say it’s semi matte. And it lasts all day! It doesn’t crease under my eyes and doesn’t end up looking streaky. It’s so good! I wear shade 145 and apply with a damp blender.
Step Three: Anastasia Brow Wiz
This brow pencil has a cult following for a reason! I love that it doesn’t need a sharpener and has the little spooky on the other end. It’s pretty creamy so it applies really fast without having to go over and over. I brush my brows down and trace along the top, brush up and trace the bottom, and then fill in. Easy peasy! I wear shade taupe.
Step Four: Diorshow Waterproof Mascara
I had lash extensions for years. But, after they grew out in quarantine I had to go back to mascara. And I don’t think I’m going to go back to extensions! I used a lash serum to grow my lashes back out and I use an eyelash curler before I apply the mascara. (I heat it up with my hair dryer first so my curl holds.) My lashes are pretty long and their blonde so I use waterproof mascara to avoid getting raccoon eyes. The Diorshow Waterproof is the only one I’ve found that holds my curl while giving volume and length! I’m also interested in trying this Pat McGrath one I’ve heard good things about!
Step Five: Glossier Cloud Paint cream blush
I have naturally rosy cheeks but after I apply my tinted sunscreen and concealer I need to add a little life back into my face. I use just a dab of the Glossier Cloud Paint in Puff to perk myself up a little bit!
Step Six: Buxom Lip Gloss
I loooove these glosses! They are highly pigmented and a little minty to slightly plump your pout. I love the color and shine it gives my lips without making them super slick and sticky. I’ve used the color Dolly for years and always have a backup tube on hand!
What makeup do you swear by?
