The Perfect, Easy Summer Makeup, or 10 Steps To That "Just Got Back From Vacation" Glow

The Perfect, Easy Summer Makeup, or 10 Steps To That "Just Got Back From Vacation" Glow

I don’t believe in “rules” when it comes to wearing makeup (cause like, do whatever you want, duh), but I do strongly believe in keeping makeup minimal & as natural-looking as possible in the hot summer months. Piling on thick layers of makeup in the humid weather will only clog your pores and suffocate your skin. That natural “just got back from vacation glow” is really the goal here — not “I’m ready for my Vogue shoot.” If your face could speak to you, it’d say “save the dramatic looks for the fall, or a special occasion, please & thank you.”

So, how do we obtain that effortlessly gorgeous and completely un-orange summer look without spending loads of time or using a bajillion products?

The key is to use lightweight products, and to apply everything in a “tapping” motion. This ensures the product is being pressed into the skin, which looks a whole lot more natural than basically painting your face with makeup (yuck). Remember ”bend and snap” from Legally Blonde? It’s more like “blend and tap” when it comes to the technique for this look.
