MY GO-TO PRODUCTS FOR MINIMAL SUMMER MAKEUP

A full face of makeup is the last thing on my mind when it's hot AF outside. Most days I go makeup-free, however it's always good to have a go-to minimal look for when you want a little extra something. Using these products, I can throw this look on in no time and run out the door. Quick, easy + fuss-free does it!

MINIMAL SUMMER MAKEUP

+ Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield - We all know SPF is a skincare must have and this one is a total game changer for your face. I've tried countless facial sunscreens + products, most of which are too thick, have a white cast, are greasy or are made up of chemicals. You want to use a mineral-based, physical sunscreen that will physically block harmful rays versus a chemical sunscreen that is instead going to chemically absorb rays. The Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield is the best one I've found. It's made up of 12% zinc oxide (physical sunscreen), has SPF 50+ protection, is super bendable and has a subtle peach tint. 

It's the perfect base for a minimal makeup look because it gives a very subtle glow to the skin + offers great protection from the sun. I also love that it has a thinner consistency that blends in well and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized! 

+ MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter - I have been sharing this MAC Prep + Prime Highlighter for years now.  I always purchase the shade "Radiant Rose" to use as an under eye brightener. It's sort of like a hassle-free concealer for me-- it brightens up the under eye area to combat dark circles and give a wide awake appearance. The coverage is great but lightweight + easily blends in with my fingers. 

+ Velour Lashes Fluff'n 3-in-1 Brow Pencil - Cleaning up the brows just a little can do wonders for your face while still maintaining a minimal look. I like to lightly touch up + fill in around my brows with the Velour Fluff'n Brow Pencil. It has a pencil, spoolie + wax all in one to color and set everything. Super convenient and compact! 

+ Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash Mascara - A little bit of mascara is also essential. It's the easiest way to open up the eyes + makes a huge difference. Right now I've been loving the Benefit Roller Lash

+ Burt's Bees Lip Balm - My lips constantly feel dry so keeping them hydrated during the summer is a must. I always go for the best of the best- the Burt's Bees lip balm. You can't beat a classic, it works and still gives a little shine to the lips.

My go-to products for a quick, minimal makeup look for summer! The best part is you don't have to use any tools either so it's easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
