Summer Makeup Essentials: My Routine and Favorite Products

Happy Summer!

As the sun shines brighter and temperatures rise, it’s time to refresh our beauty routine with products that keep us looking fresh and glowing throughout the season. Sharing with you my go-to summer makeup routine and favorite products that are perfect for the sunny days ahead.

FACE

SUMMER FRIDAYS Sheer Skin Tint

Summer calls for light and natural makeup, and Summer Fridays’ Skin Tint fits the bill perfectly. I got Shade 4 – light medium with neutral olive undertones. It’s lightweight and effectively evens out my complexion, giving me a fresh “my skin but better” look that feels comfortable throughout the day.

MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer

Next up is Makeup by Mario Skin Enhancer – a complexion balm, skin tint, and creamy bronzer all in one. My favorite way to use it? As a bronzer, effortlessly adding warmth to my complexion with no visible harsh lines.

HUDA BEAUTY Mini Easy Bake Loose Baking and Setting Powder

I then lightly dust the Huda Beauty Loose Powder all over my face, focusing more on the under-eye area and my oily T-zone. I love how this powder sets my makeup without making it look dry or cakey.

BARE MINERALS Gen Nude Blonzer Blush + Bronzer

The Bare Minerals Gen Nude Blonzer in the shade Kiss of Pink has been a favorite of mine for years . It’s a multi-tasking blush and bronzer that adds a subtle flush of color. To achieve a sun-kissed look, I lightly sweep the blush across my cheeks, nose, and temples. It’s truly a staple in my makeup routine for its versatility and beautiful finish.

EYES & BROWS

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Brow Cheat Eyebrow Pencil

For my brows, I rely on the Charlotte Tilbury Brow Cheat Eyebrow Pencil. It’s perfect for creating natural-looking brows with its angled tip that allows precise application.

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Brow Fix Clear Eyebrow Gel

To set my brows in place all day, I follow up with the Charlotte Tilbury Brow Fix Clear Eyebrow Gel. This gel keeps my brows neatly groomed without feeling stiff or crunchy, which is ideal for the hot summer days when I want my makeup to stay put.

MAKEUP BY MARIO Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals

For the eyes, I love using the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes® Eyeshadow Palette in The Neutrals. It offers a variety of matte shades that are perfect for creating various daytime or evening looks. The formula is super smooth and easy to blend, making it a breeze to achieve a seamless application.

HOURGLASS Unlocked Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara

After applying eyeshadow, I reach for the Hourglass Unlocked Lengthening Mascara. What impresses me about this mascara is its smudge-proof and non-flaky formula. The brush smoothly coats each lash from root to tip, providing length and definition for beautiful, natural-looking lashes.

LIPS

CHARLOTTE TILBURY Lip Cheat Lip Liner

Let’s move on to the lips, starting with the Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Iconic Nude. This lip liner is a staple in my collection for its versatile shade and creamy formula that glides on smoothly. It defines and shapes my lips with precision, creating a natural-looking outline that enhances any lipstick or gloss I apply on top.

MAKEUP BY MARIO SuperSatin Lipstick

For lipstick, I used the Makeup By Mario SuperSatin Lipstick in the shade Bronx Baby, described as a soft warm rose. On my lips, it appears more like a brownish rose, which is perfect for everyday wear. I particularly love the satin finish of this lipstick, as it leaves my lips feeling smooth and hydrated.

MAKEUP BY MARIO Moisture Glow Plumping Lip Serum

Last but not least is the Makeup by Mario Moisture Glow Plumping Lip Serum in Petal Glow, a beautiful pinky mauve shade. The lip plumper can be applied on its own or layered over another lip color. This final touch enhances my lips with a healthy, natural-looking glow, perfect for embracing the sunny days of summer.

  6. These products look great. I tend to stick to light make up in the summer with concealer and a bit of foundation. But I am on a skincare journey so trying to keep make up limited at the moment. Thank you for sharing your chosen products.

  9. though I myself am not into make up, I appreciate the subtle look and true enhancement on your beauty of your make up regimen. It’s not over empowering at all. If you combine both this technique and the skincare, you definitely can’t go wrong!

    • Hi there:!

      Yes, the Summer Fridays skin tint does offer some coverage, though it’s more on the lighter side. If you’re looking for something that evens out your skin tone without feeling heavy, it could be a good fit. As for Charlotte Tilbury, I understand your hesitation with mixed reviews and pricing concerns. If you’re keen to explore Charlotte Tilbury, I highly recommend checking out their Pillow Talk collection. The shades are absolutely gorgeous and versatile, making it a great starting point to experience the brand.

    • I’m no expert in doing my eyebrows either, but Charlotte Tilbury’s eyebrow pencil and gel have made it surprisingly easy for me. Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for something user-friendly!
