Okay so the UK has been having the craziest heatwave at the moment so that last thing you want it a tonne of makeup on your face. After playing around for a while, I have finally found my perfect minimal makeup look. For the days where you are heading out and want to put a little bit of effort in, but you don’t want to sweat it off.
1. Primer
Primer is so important and I can’t stress this enough, particularly in this heat! It will make sure that your makeup will last a long period of time and stay looking fresh. I love the ‘Makeup Forever Step 1 Hydrating Primer’. Although it is a little on the pricey side, it does do its job. I apply this with my hands as if it was a moisturiser and it works a treat at keeping my makeup on and keeping me looking a-okay!
2. Base
So don’t want a thick coating of foundation, but you do want a hint of coverage? Look no further, I have found the loveliest product that will do the trick. The Nars Tinted Moisturiser is the best for this. I love this around this time of year as it’s super lightweight on the skin and looks quite natural. Although it is a little expensive for a tinted moisturiser, it’s definitely worth it.
3. Brows
I always use the same product for my brows and that is the NYX Precision Brow Pencil. This just makes my brows bushy but also shaped nicely. I prefer to use the colour ash brown as this matches the roots of my hair perfectly.
4. Bronzer
Bronzer is one of my favourite parts of my makeup routine as I feel it really pulls the makeup together. My favourite to use is the Makeup Forever Pro Bronze Fusion. This gives a lovely bronzed glow and subtly contours your face.
5. Eyes
My favourite eyeshadow palette at the moment is the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam palette as it’s very versatile, I can create a really subtle eye look with this but can also go quite dramatic. The colours are nicely pigmented and also blend out really well.
6. Mascara
I feel like my lashes aren't the longest so mascara is an important step in my makeup routine. I love the Benefit They’re Real mascara as this lengthens and gives volume to my lashes with the help of some lash curlers.
7. Highlight
Highlighter is one of my favourite parts of my makeup routine as it really makes you glow! The one I’ve been using day in day out for months is the MAC Mineralise Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle. It gives a really natural glow but is build able so can be blinding! It’s such a gorgeous champagne bronze colour and complements any skin tone.
8. Lipstick.
I’m a sucker for a nude lipstick and my favourite it the Charlotte Tilbury Nude Kate. It is a gorgeous peachy nude with a shimmer and it complements my skin so well. It is my favourite nude of all time, I will definitely be repurchasing this soon as i’m getting through it rather quickly.
These products seem do be doing the trick at the moment for making me look good in the hot weather. Are any of these any of your favourite products? Do you have any other products that you’ve been using recently? Let me know in the comments!
Lots of Love
