In the summer, a lot of people like the healthy, tanned glow look. If you’re anything like me,not interested in tanning. You can imitate the same look with makeup. The trick is to make sure it’s a healthy glow. With these 7 quick makeup tips for a healthy summer glow, your face will look flawless all season.Me being an oily skin, I would add my suggestions what worked well for me and what I would select.
1. Base Application and Products
In the summer, tinted moisturizer goes a long way. Most skins don’t need full-coverage foundation anyway,for daily wear. Tinted moisturizer or a BB cream is the perfect way to minimize the appearance of any discoloration without the cakey, streaky look that is possible with wearing heavy foundations in the heat.If you are select to wear a foundation try to stay from sheer to medium so it doesnt feels heavy due to heat of the day. My pick would be urban decay naked skin foundation.its sheer coverage,evens out skin tone.For drugstore though i dont prefer drugstore bb creams.Loreal magique BB would be my pick.
What to avoid?
Cream-to-powder foundations will usually do worse in the heat because they are often heavier.
2. Base Color
3. Bronzer
Thi is the trick part.The easiest way to add a healthy, tanned glow is to make use of bronzer. In the summer, a shimmery bronzer is a very nice way to go.There are many awesome ranges available my current fav has become makeup forever pro fusion bronze. Its waterproof and flawless glow. Check out its detail post here. For drugstore,The body shop bronzing pearls,Flormar bronzers , Rimmel natural Bronze are good.
4. Highlight
It is important to know how to strategically highlight and contour your face to get the look you want. Add some highlighter on the bridge of your nose and in a C-shape from your cheekbones through your temples and around your eyebrows can help give you the perfect summer glow.
Apply eye shadow highlight on your brow bone to always make your eyes pop.s Some people choose to use eye shadows to highlight and contour their face instead of base products. If you don’t want to splurge on a highlighter, you can use an eye shadow you already have.
Its all what you prefer, if you want a subtle glow then you can pair a shimmer bronzer with a matte highlight.If you want the best glowy tan then try on both highlights and bronzers shimmer based.
I like Mac Soft and Gentle for this step,the glowy highlight is there but subtle. For drugstore, sleek contour kit in shade light and the body shop shimmer waves would be my pick.
5. Blush
To get a nice glow, stick to peachy and bronze-y blushes instead of pink and red colors. Peaches, corals, and neutrals contribute to the healthy, tanned look a lot more than pinks.
I like mac ambering rose , peachykeen. and for drugstore I would pick the body shop all in one blusher in shade macaroon and sleek blushers in shades rose gold, life's a peach.
Have fun trying out these tips and techniques and enjoy your summer glow!
