Summer Makeup Routine | Collab

Hello Everyone! Just a quick update, I won't be posting as regularly as I have this week. The days I will post will be Wednesday and Saturday. This will commence after next week. Today I am bringing you my Summer Makeup Routine which is a collab the lovely lilyisabella.co.uk so make sure you check out her post after mine. I hope you enjoy.

In summer, although it isn't the hottest, it can get quite warm so it's not ideal to wear a full face of makeup (but if you do that's totally cool!) I prefer a natural look, with focus on the eyes and brows.

For my base, I use the Loreal Lumi Magique Primer which adds a lovely iridescent glow to the skin. I prefer to skip any foundation but if I wanted some coverage I would use a BB cream. Instead, I like to use a highlighting concealer, such as the Collection Lasting Perfection in Fair. I place this in a triangle under my eyes, a dot on the chin and two dots on the forehead then blend. This gives the illusion of flawless skin. I then add some warmth to my face with bronzer or a contour shade, adding bronzer will define your face and give you that sun-kissed look. I apply some blush, whether it cream or powder, to add a natural flush. To finish off my face, I dust some highlighter on the tops of my cheekbones and under the brow bone for a beautiful dewy look.

I use a brow powder to define my brows, making sure they are a bit more bold but still natural. If I want to wear eyeshadow, I like to use a cream one as they last longer. The Maybelline Colour Tattoos are perfect for this, there are lots of shades for everyone's preference. For mascara a waterproof one is great as it won't budge or smudge all day. To finish off the whole look add a lip balm or for a pop of colour use a tinted one, such as lolliblam, this gives a subtle stain to the lips.

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy. I won't be posting until next Saturday and Sunday. Don't forget to follow me on Instagram and Bloglovin. Love, Liv xox
