It’s fair to say that with the warmer
weather comes a dramatic change in the daily makeup rotation; full winter
coverage is discarded in favour of a sheer base, glowing tan and rosy cheeks.
For when summer does pop ‘round there are a
few makeup staples I always keep handy to brighten up the complexion while
still keeping everything skin-like and fuss-free.
When
you’re sweating your
way through the majority of the day, a primer is a necessary step in the makeup
routine. bareMinerals’ Prime Time,
although a little on the expensive side, works a charm at prepping the skin
while ensuring everything is left looking pristine by the end of the day. For a
lightweight and breathable base, the Eau De Teint offering by L’oreal is a good ‘un; a quick shake of the bottle and
smooth over the skin will provide sheer (but buildable) coverage that still
evens out most redness and imperfections. To sort any blemishes or dark circles
peeking through, the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer will cover just about anything
you throw its way without appearing too heavy or overdone.
It’s become somewhat of a cult product
and for good reason - Rimmel’s Stay Matte powder
sets your face while remaining invisible on the skin. For those of us with a
porcelain complexion that fails to tan or if you just need to oomph up the
summer glow you’ve already got (I’m very jealous if
you do),
a bronzer is essential. Rimmel’s Natural Bronzer
in Sun Bronze can be used as both a contour for the cheeks or as an
all-over tanner that never appears too orange or fake. The tiny shimmer
particles it holds are virtually undetectable on the skin however manage to add
a summer-appropriate glow to the complexion. To finish things up with a slight
flush on the cheeks is the Sleek Blush in Rose Gold. The golden
undertones flatter most - if not all - skin tones while adding a natural pop of
colour that instantly perks up the face.
