It's that time of the year where the weather is getting warmer and you can't be arsed to do anything because the heat makes everything a chore. Don't get me wrong, I love doing my makeup ready for the day ahead. But when your bedroom is like a sauna in the warm weather, who really wants to sit in front of their mirror slapping on makeup? Not forgetting going about your day as you please and your makeup trying to melt off your face all day. So frustrating, right?
THE BASE
I usually stick with a BB cream or a tinted moisturiser as it's very lightweight and it's so quick and easy to apply. Unless I'm having a bad skin day, then I'll use a light foundation. Otherwise, I usually stick to a BB cream or a moisturiser.
If I have mega dark circles under my eyes, then I'll apply some concealer. I also apply a little bit of bronzer to give me a bit of colour and I keep the highlight quite subtle.
THE BROWS
I always tint my eyebrows so I don't have to do much to them anyway. But, I usually just fill in the ends of my brows with a brow pomade and just gel them in place. It doesn't take long to do but they still look good!
THE EYES
The majority of the time, I don't wear eyeshadow. Mainly because I have individual lashes and they get in the way when I apply it and take it off. However, if I go out for a day to the beach or for an evening bbq, I will apply eyeshadow but I keep it quite subtle and simple. I also stick to using two shades.
THE LIPS
Depending on how I'm feeling, I have a choice of a lipbalm, lipgloss or a lipstick. I tend to stay away from the matte lipsticks throughout the Summer as I feel like they get quite sticky throughout the day and it annoys me. I like having a lipblam in my bag for when my lips get a bit dry and need hydrating.
IT WON'T BUDGE
I use my setting spray to keep everything in place. I swear by my Urban Decay setting spray and I know full well that my makeup won't be dripping down my face by the end of the day.
How do you do your makeup for the Summer?
