Best Products for Your Summer Makeup Routine
What does your makeup routine look like for summer? Whether you like to keep it simple most days or keep it classy, I have some of the best products for your summer makeup routine that you’ll love!
I keep my summer makeup routine pretty basic, but it still highlights my face in all the right places. I’ve tried a lot of different makeup products, so these truly are at the top of my list. I hope you find some favorites and I can’t wait to hear what you add to your routine!
Best Products for Your Summer Makeup Routine
I use several different makeup products, so I thought I’d divide it up based on the area of my face. I’m showcasing products for foundation, highlighting/contouring, and eyes. These products really are a game changer. When you put your face on along with your cute outfit and fancy hair, there will be no stopping you!
Foundation
I’m all about building a good foundation. Setting up your skin with foundation, concealer, and bb cream will help make the rest of your makeup look flawless. I like to use the Shine BB Cream and the Shine Concealer. (Use code “twistmepretty10” to get a special deal on them!) Each of these not only hide blemishes, but protects and nourishes my skin too.
I’m also a big fan of this Tarte Concealer and this Nars Concealer. These products can be doubled as a highlighting tool depending on the shade you choose. I love finding things that can be used multiple ways! If you’re feeling brave, you could even use these as part of your eye shadow application.
Highlight/Contour
It’s incredible what highlighting and contouring can do for your look. It extenuates your face in all the right places, if you use the right products, of course. My favorites are the Shine Blush Stick (use promo code “twistmepretty10”!) and the Benefit Cookie Highlighter.
The blush stick looks like lipstick, but don’t let that scare you. Once you rub a little bit on your cheeks, you can blend it in using a makeup brush or sponge. And I’m in LOVE with the Benefit Cookie Highlighter! It’s just so shimmery and beautiful, so it really makes your skin glow. Feel free to highlight your favorite facial features!
Eyes
You can have a lot of fun with your eyes when it comes to makeup. And when you add in your brows, wow–you’ve got to look stunning. My go-to eye shadows are the SeneGence Buttercream Shimmer and Tierra. Depending on how outspoken you want your eyes to be, you can choose a more natural color or one that’s a bit more flashy. There’s many colors to choose from!
Now onto lashes and brows. I’m into the Maybelline Mascara right now. When I put this on I’m amazed with how full and long my lashes are! I use this clear brow gel to help tame my eyebrow and hold it in place throughout the day. Next, I apply my It Cosmetics Brow Power Pencil. I love how easy it is to apply yet still looks amazing when done.
Another reason these are the best products for your summer makeup routine is because it doesn’t take forever to apply! I know you’re busy and while you may wish you had an hour to do self care and have ample makeup time in the mirror, you don’t. But you can still look like you spent ages with a look that only took a few minutes! Who’s ready to wear our best faces and feel good doing it?
