Think Pink: A Simple Summer look!

 

When it's hot outside, the last thing I want to do is spend ages on a full face of makeup for it to melt away in the heat. With that in mind, I created this look using products which over the past few months and weeks have proved themselves to be long lasting during the warm weather whilst also being quick and easy to apply.

This look is perfect for a weekend adventure, or even a trip out with friends.You can easily dress it up by smoking out the eye, and dress it down if the bright lips are too much by choosing something more subtle like a pink/nude matte lip.

If you'd like to recreate this look, all the details are below:

Foundation: Nars Sheer Glow - Siberia 

Concealer: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

Contour: NYX Taupe Blusher

Eyebrows: Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade - Taupe & Medium Brown

Get The Look: Simple, Striking, Summer Make Up!

When the sun is shining and the weather is hot the last thing I want to do is put on my make up and head into the sun only to feel it all melt away from my face. The products I used in this look all seem to have a miraculous staying power and can withstand a heat wave, as well as deal with the oh so very British summer rain. As soon as it gets sunny, most girls I know are straight onto the bottle tan and bronzer, but if like me you're keeping your pale skin this summer, then this is a look for you! 

I picked up this flower crown in my recent Primark Haul and I'd been dying to try out a few ideas with it. I also had a few e.l.f cosmetics orange lipsticks in my 'to wear' pile, so thought it would be most fitting to pair them both together. When wearing a statement lip I like to team it with a simple eye to make sure it doesn't overpower me, especially during the daytime. With a few tweaks this look can easily be switched to glam evening summer party style!
