The past several months I decided to update my look and experiment with different makeup for summer - both brands and styles. Several products and dollar signs later I came to the realization that I like my minimalistic, fresh faced look and don’t want to change that. Foundations are too heavy for my liking and I enjoy seeing my freckles. Any time I put on extra eye makeup or try to do “glam”, I feel like I’m playing in someone else’s makeup bag where I don’t belong. That being said, I learned I can keep to my style and still update it each season with the swipe of a tint lighter or a shade darker of blush, rather than keeping it the same year-round. Lips are such an easy change too.

Keep reading for my current summer makeup routine and my favorite products for pale skin and auburn hair or any warm spring if you follow color theory! Scroll all the way to the bottom for an accompanying YouTube video.

Does a skincare routine end with sunscreen or does the makeup routine begin with sunscreen? That is the question. Either way, after I complete my skincare routine (you can read my summer skincare routine here), I put on sunscreen. I use Babo Botanicals SPF 30 on a daily basis and Pipette SPF 50 if I going to the beach or somewhere in direct sunlight without a hat. I let that dry then pick up my beauty products.

Before I get into that, I wanted to say that the below products work for me and my skin type which is fairly “normal” though if I had to lean one way, I am more oily and breakout prone than dry. I do sleep with my humidifier every night. Even before that though, I wasn’t really on the dry spectrum. As always, I try to use nontoxic / clean makeup as well as cruelty free. If my products are rated on EWG, I try to only use a 2 rating or less. I also try to use products without coconut oil which is sometimes hard to do in the “natural spectrum. All that to say, here we go! Let’s dive into the products Ib use.

MY SUMMER MAKEUP ROUTINE


Have any ride or die makeup you think I should try or colors that would work well for a “warm spring”? Let me know! Especially if you found a good piny neutral lipstick for me. See you in a couple of months for my fall skincare update. Perhaps we will do a makeup update then too! Here’s a video for you if you’d rather see the items in action. Enjoy!
