Summer Beauty Updates

"People often say that beauty is in the eye of the behold, and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder". - Salma Hayek

I know we're well into summer now that it's late July, but I'm hoping for a longer summer. (Especially, since winter lasted for an eternity this year.)  Anyways, I wanted to share some of the products I'm using for this summer.

When in comes to my summer make-up, I try and stick to a more natural look with one burst of color. I focus on a lot of neutrals, golds,  and browns.

Here is the pre-make up look:

I use two different bronzers to start off the look. The one of the left is a Physicians Formula bronzer and the one of the right is a two-in-one illuminator and bronzer from Lorac.  I use the lighter bronzer as an all-around powder. The darker color I use in a more concentrated location (right on the hollow of my cheeks and around my temples. I run the highlighter above my eyebrow and along the top of my cheekbone in an attempt to catch the light.

I them use a lighter blush on the apples of my cheeks. I am currently using Bare Minerals in Aphrodisiac.

 My eye make-up is also a Physician's Formula product. I am using the Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Shadow in Natural Nudes. I absolutely love this palette, it's super natural and there are a ton of possible combinations.

 The last thing I use is a bright lip crayon from Revlon. I think summer is the perfect month for a fun punch of color. My current favorite is Sweetheart out of the Just Bitten collection.

Here is a quick look at the finished product:

Have a great rest of the summer!
