So once i have completed my morning skincare routine and spritzed on some facial spray, i go straight in with foundation as the facial spray i use can be used as both a primer and a setting spray. If you have read my posts for a while you will already know that this foundation is a favourite of mine, as it is one of those foundations that would survive pretty much anything and ticks all of the boxes (sweat-proof, waterproof, long-wearing, great coverage and lightweight).
This concealer has been a favourite of mine for the last few months and it is actually pretty similar to the Maybelline Fit Me concealer, except this one is even more affordable. The main thing for me when it comes to choosing/liking a concealer, is that they always have to be hydrating under the eyes and this one is just that. I actually prefer this concealer to a lot of the more high-end concealers i have tried and used over the years, which is insane as this concealer is only £2.
So the only powder form product i have been using on those quick/everyday makeup days is my bareMinerals powder duo, i always like to use a mixture of the matte and glow side to set/brighten my under-eye area. As i do have a normal to mainly dry skin type, i am super lucky when it comes to not having to use too many powder products to set things into place. So when it comes to summer i can pick or choose if i want to use just powder or just cream/liquid products.
For adding some shape and bronzing up my face recently, i have been loving reaching for the Clinique Chubby Stick again. This stick is actually perfect for summer as it is slightly deeper yet warmer in tone, so it give the illusion of a natural bronzed look to the face. What i love about this stick also is how easy it is to blend out, i like to use a damp beauty blender for a flawless finish and it also lasts all day long without fading away.

Another product from Primark i have been obsessed with reaching for on a regular basis, is this golden/bronze face and body butter and i like to use this on those quick makeup days for a more natural looking highlighted look, rather than something super glow-y. I like to apply some of this straight to a damp beauty blender before bouncing/blending it on the areas where you would normally place your highlighter and it also smells amazing like summer as it has a beautiful coconut scent.

For brows as i mentioned in my recent Superdrug post, i have been trying to not use the Revolution brow tint more than once a week so in-between i have been filling my brows in with the Revolution Pro brow pomade. Then of course to set things into place, i like to use my trusty favourite waterproof brow set from MAC and when you use this, you know you are good for the whole day.
urban decay naked heat palette + ps pro hd mascara
So for eyes i like to keep things super quick and simple, by using a single shade which is usually a warm almost orange/brick toned brown shade and i just apply that one shade and blend it out. Recently i have been reaching for the shade Sauced or Low Blow from the Urban Decay Naked Heat eyeshadow palette and then i simply finish that off by curling my lashes, before applying some mascara to both my top and bottom lashes.

Finally for lips i have been obsessed with this warm nude lip combination, which is perfect for summer in both shade and with how long the combination lasts on the lips. Stripdown liner by MAC is one of those lip liners that goes with pretty much any nude applied on top, especially the new Chocolate Matte liquid lipsticks from L'Oréal. I have the shade Sweet Tooth which like i mentioned recently is the most beautiful light peachy-nude shade, making it perfect for summer.
