When summer rolls around, I find myself minimizing my makeup routine and opting more for lightweight coverage on the skin. I also don’t really go that many places during the day aside from the gym, so my routine has been super minimal lately. I figured it would be fun to share all of the things I’ve been reaching for. I’ve put together a video talking about all of my summer beauty essentials! The focus here is on the skin and making it sweatproof, non-cakey, dewy, and illuminated. I love reaching for products that help me achieve that look, and I love things that are great at multi-tasking (i.e. brighten up the eyelid while also priming the eyes for eyeshadow… thank you MAC Paint Pot!).
So, get ready for video time! Hope you enjoy and don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel!!
Products Mentioned:
- The Beauty Blender
- Pond’s BB Cream
- Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
- MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
- MAC Paint Pot in Soft Ochre

I only wear make-up for pictures or special occasions but I do find that sunscreen is my one change for the warmer weather. 🙂 That beauty blender looks cool.
Meg O. says
The beauty blender is AWESOME! It definitely makes everything you put on your face look airbrushed. You should keep wearing that sunscreen all the time – it will help you in the long run!! 🙂

Sweatproof is essential! Thanks for the tops 🙂

Oh yes, especially down here in Humid Houston! I swear that all nighter spray really helps!

I definitely go lighter on the makeup and the perfume. I find that some days I don’t even put on makeup and just go with the natural summer glow. 😉 Plus, my skin needs to breathe in this Houston humidity. As far as perfume, I do a lot more light body sprays…especially coconut scents.
