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?

The Sephora sale is currently on for Rouge members and VIB members get access tomorrow!

Below I’m sharing all of the products I am currently using in my every day makeup routine as well as some items on my wish list! Happy shopping!

I love a red lip all the time but especially this time of year. It just brings a little brightness to the dead of winter. Plus it’s a perfect look for Valentine’s Day!

My Favorite Red Lipsticks

Beautycounter Color Intense Lipstick – Girls Night

This clean beauty lipstick is creamy and moisturizing while being highly pigmented. It’s also long wearing and I love that it’s made without harmful ingredients!

Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick – Beso

This liquid lipstick is highly pigmented and long lasting while being lightweight on the lips. It almost has a whipped consistency. This is a great option if you have drier lips but want to try a matte look!

Nars Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil – Dragon Girl

Combining a lip liner and lipstick in one! This pencil is matte and highly pigmented. It’s easy to apply so it’s one that I love to throw in my bag for on the go touch ups. Bonus it’s one ofTaylor Swift’s favorites!

Tarte Tartiest Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint – Extra

If you want a full coverage matte lipstick that lasts all day, this is for you. This formula is transfer proof and lasts all day. This is the most pigmented and most matte formula of these four. It really makes an impact!

I am always looking for beauty products that are made with natural, clean ingredients. But now that I’m pregnant I’m even more focused on what I am putting onto my skin. One way I’ve changed that up is by focusing on my makeup. I think a lot of times we tend to go for clean skincare products but forget about our makeup. I like to run my products through the Environmental Working Group website or app to make sure they have a good rating. Here is how I achieved this look using products with a good rating from EWG!

Primer – First I primed my skin with the Tatcha Silk Canvas Protective Primer. Hands down the best primer I have ever used!

Concealer – I concealed my under eyes with Bareminerals Bareskin Complete Coverage Serum Concealer using a damp Beautyblender.

Foundation – For foundation I used Bareminerals Complexion Rescue Stick Foundation and buffed in with this brush.

Brows – I filled in my brows with the Tarte Amazonian Clay Brow Pencil in Taupe.

Powder – After my liquids set in I used my damp Beautyblender again to set my makeup with Bareminerals Illuminating Mineral Veil.

Bronzer, Blush, Highlight – I used this Tarte Tartiest Pro Glow Highlight and Blush palette for bronzer, blush, and highlight. I used the blush in the color Beat. For the bronzer and lush I used this brush, for highlighting I used this brush. I like to run my highlighter over my cheekbones, over the tops of my brows, down the bridge of my nose, and along the cupid’s bow of my lips.

Eyes – I used the Tarte Tartelette in Bloom Eyeshadow Palette in the color Jetsetter all over my lids and Activist along my lash lines using this brush.

Mascara – I applied Tarte Lights, Camera, Splashes to my lower lashes (I have extensions on top).

Lips – I used Bareminerals Gen Nude Liquid Lipstick in Swag.

I’m using a few different makeup products since my last makeup post so I thought I would do an updated routine. This is my every day makeup unless I’m really pressed for time.

First I correct my under eyes with my Becca under eye corrector and a concealer brush. Then I finish off my under eyes with It Cosmetics Bye Bye under eye concealer and a damp Beauty Blender. Just a dot! A little goes a  long way!

Next I’ve been using BareMinerals original powder foundation with a flawless face brush. I love how quick it is to swirl, tap, and buff! 

Next I do my brows. I’ve been using Benefit Ka-Brow with the attached brush to fill in and ModelCo More Brows to add fullness and hold them  in place. 

After my brows I do my eyes. I’m still using my Urban Decay Naked Basics palette. First I use Walk of Shame on my lids and then Faint in my crease and finally Crave on my lash lines.

Next I use the BareMinerals bronzer in Warmth on my temples, hollows of my cheeks, and along my jawline to give me a subtle sculpt. Then I use Marc Jacobs blush in Kinks and Kisses on the apples of my cheeks.

Last I use Covergirl Clump Crusher Waterproof mascara on my lower lashes. 

That’s it! Pretty quick and easy.
