Summer Beauty 101
Find your face shape and learn to Contour & Highlight your face HERE
It’s Summer Beauty 101 on the blog today. To keep your make-up looking fresh and pretty all day long here are a few steps I follow during the summer.
*Use Halo Extensions to stay cool all summer.
You can put these in and out. Don’t wear heavy hair extensions during the summer at the beach. Take them out and then put them back in at night when you go out! It’s genius. The hair is beyond gorgeous. I’m so happy that I found them. You can keep this hair for up to a year if you take good care of it.
*Wear an oil free moisturizer
Before you apply your make-up always use oil free products. What you put on your skin is just as important as the make-up you apply. You don’t want anything melting off your face in the heat.
*Bronze where the sun hits you
This will make you feel like a sun goddess without damaging your skin. Apply this Baked bronzer frosting in Honey Glow to places on your face that are naturally hit by the sun. Your teeth will look whiter and you will glow!
*Ditch powder blushes and eyeshadows
This will give you longevity and will decrease chances of your make-up caking. Use cream blush & these super amazing creamy eye shadows. I use bone and ballet pink. My favorite!
*Use lipstains and glosses
Get rid of your matte lipstick. You want to create dewy and fresh looks this summer. Get a few LIPSTAINS for all day lasting color and put a gloss over it. It’s so pretty.
*Invest in an amazing waterproof mascara
Don’t be caught with raccoon eyes in the pool or on a really hot day. You can keep your mascara in place with a really great water proof mascara.
*Use an eye brightener or primer
Sometimes this is all I wear with my mascara. Your eyes will look bright and beautiful. It also lasts all day long. I use this one Lisa sent me for my birthday this year. it’s amazing! Stroke of Light by Bare Minerals
*Carry Prep Items
You can be prepared for anything this summer. Keep the essentials close by you so you can freshen up when needed. Use these blotting papers to get rid of sweat or shine. They are a huge lifesaver.
- 1CC Cream by Supergoop – This is incredible! smoothes and hides imperfections. It’s the perfect tinted cream to wear before powder.
- 2Stroke of Light by Bare Minerals – brightens eye in the best kind of way! I wear this every single day. Wear it alone with mascara or build your eyeshadow on top.
- 3Bigger Blacker Mascara by Urban Decay – I have a huge crush on this mascara. The waterproof is my favorite too.
- 4Swirl Illuminator by Laura Gellar – Use on your eyelids or any place you want to add glow.
- 5Filter Finish Powder – this will become your favorite product! It hides imperfections and smoothes flaws. I don’t leave home without this!
- 6Baked bronzer frosting in Honey Glow – The ultimate bronzer for face and body. I
- 7Coral Lipstick by Mac – This has been a summer favorite for years! Add a gloss over it and it is perfection!
- 8Nourishing Lipgloss in LoveChild – this lipgloss has quickly become a favorite. It’s not sticky and looks dewy and oh so pretty! Loving this soft pink color
- 9Nourishing Lipgloss in Streak – same as #8 but in a darker coral color for a pop!
I also NEVER tan my face (I’d wear a mask outside if I could) so I turn into the bronzing queen and I use this Laura Geller bronzing powder everyday and everywhere. It’s incredible. Happy Wednesday!

Jenna

It seems like lately my mascara melts and smudges under my lower lashes by the end of the day. Do you think it’s because I don’t use a waterproof formula? What eye makeup remover do you use?
Thanks,
