I don’t know about you, but I spend way less time getting ready in the summer than any other time of year. It is so hot out that I can’t be bothered to make myself even hotter by running around getting ready!
I personally love a more natural look in the summertime. I often will just wear moisturizer and call it a day! When I want to look a bit more together, I do wear makeup but I want to keep it as simple as possible. This summer I have been only wearing 5 products and I love how easy it is to get ready!
Step One
I like to start off by using the CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion. I love this for summer, because its oil free and has SPF 30. ☀️ I wear this with or without makeup, and I always bring it with me if I’m going to be outside to reapply! It is super lightweight, but it still works! I got mine from Target.
Step Two
Next, I apply my foundation. I like to use drug store foundation in the summer, because I always do get a bit of a tan and I don’t want to spend $$$ on a shade I can’t use all the way up! I also don’t mind sweating in it if I didn’t pay as much. I have been using the L’Oréal True Match super-blendable makeup and I love it! It also has SPF 17 in it which makes it great for summertime. I wore this on a super hot day in Nashville last weekend and it stayed on like a dream! I wear the shade nude beige W3 and I appreciate that they have warm and cool shades!
Step 3
I’ve been using the Benefit Gimme Brow for a few months now, and I really like it! Before using this, I would just fill my brows in with eyeshadow. I still prefer that method, but I find that it’s so much quicker and easier to use this! I use the 4.5, but could probably go down to a 4. I have the travel size because I’ve practically been living out of my suitcase this summer, and it is super convenient for throwing in my bag!
Step 4
This is my favorite mascara ever, and I have tried so many mascaras. The Benefit BAD gal BANG! doesn’t run after a long day like other mascaras I’ve tried which is perfect for hot days! I like the length it gives!
Step 5
This is my all time favorite lip product, color, everything. I have been wearing this for almost a year now and I still get compliments on it all the dang time! It’s the Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink lipstick in the shade seductress. I love that it stays on all day. I’ve heard some people say they don’t like it because it’s hard to get off, but I think it comes off just fine with a makeup wipe or remover. I love it!
These are my favorite products to create a quick and easy look! Let me know if you try them, and what your favorite products are for summertime!
