Clear Skin
Summer in Southern Cali is hot, I need for my make up not to melt off my face. Thankfully one of the trends this summer is a natural clean looking face. As great as this sounds, unfortunately I have to wear a little something at the very least. I suffer from melasma, so I need a little coverage to feel good. To have healthy looking skin, make sure you are cleaning your face every night to remove all makeup and sweat residue from the hot day. So for the light & fresh look, go for a tint and not a full on foundation. My favorites are:
- Clarins, UV PLUS Anti-Pollution Broad Spectrum SPF 50, ($45.00)
- It Cosmetics, CC+ Cream Illumination SPF 50+, ($39.00)
- Laura Mercier, Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20, ($46.00)
- NYX Professional, Bare With Me Tinted Skin Veil, ($13.00)
Glowing Skin
News Flash! Matte looking skin is out & healthy glowing skin is in! So take out your bronzers & highlighters to play with again. I love me some bronze for the summer, I don’t like to get a lot of sun, so the bronzer always does the trick for me. Highlighters are magical, they leave me feeling like I am just glowing. It’s so easy too, just highlight all the areas the sun would naturally hit your face, cheekbones, forehead and nose. My faves are:
- It Cosmetics, Confidence In Your Glow 3-in-1 blush, bronzer and highlighter, ($32.00)
- Anastasia Beverly Hills, Sun Dipped Glow Kit, ($40.00)
- Mac Cosmetics, Refined Golden, ($29.00)
- Mac Cosmetics, Mineralize Skinfinish in Cheecky Bronze, ($35.00)
- Stila, Heaven’s Hue Highlighter in Transcendence, ($32.00)
- Mabelline, FaceStudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter in Molton Gold, ($9.99)
Pinks
OMG! YES!!!! Who doesn’t love pink? Pink everything, lips, cheeks and on the eyes, why not! If you are not up to doing all 3 at once, no problem! Do a bold lip, or just the eyes, whichever you feel most confident in! My faves this summer are:
- TooFaced, Throwback Metalic Sparkle, in Marcia Marcia Marcia, ($19.00)
- Nars, Lipstick in Funny Face, ($28.00)
- Anastasia Beverly Hills, Norvina Palette, ($42.00)

Eyeliner
Eyeliners are TOTALLY in this summer; especially when you wing it. Neon colors are the “it” thing as well. This sounds like so much fun already!
