Spring/Summer "Beat" Essentials

Spring has arrived, and Summer '16 is vastly approaching! As the weather starts to change so should your makeup routine. Around this time of year you may notice the products you were using  months ago are not working like they used to. Primarily, this is due to the fact that the climate is taking a significant toll on your skin.

Naturally you will be prone to perspire in warmer climates for obvious reasons. As annoying as it seems, the skin reacts differently to products as the seasons change. So if you're worried about if he will take you swimming on the first date. Let me show you how to get your life with a few essentials for a light summer beat.

MUFE Step One Primer

PRIME! This step is crucial no matter what time of year. Priming prior to putting foundation on will ensure that your makeup will last all day, while at the same time keeping your skin balanced whether you are oily or dry.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer

If you are anything like me, you want to be beat at all times; however, in the Spring and Summer, nobody wants to be overheated with a full face of makeup. Instead of a heavy foundation, you can find an alternative such as a tinted moisturizer. This will provide you with the right amount of coverage needed without heavily weighing your face down.

NARS Illuminators

BECCA Opal Highlighter

Spring/Summer is all about that glow, that "Highlight on Fleek," is crucial to a summer beat. There are a few ways to achieve this look. A liquid illuminator can be mixed into your favorite tinted moisturizer to ensure an all over natural glow without looking "greasy." You can also take a pressed highlighter with a fan brush and apply it to the high points of your face.

Cover Girl Queen Collection Bronzer

Bronzers are blissful. Applying a bronzer to the hollows of your face will give you a subtle contour. Some bronzers have shimmer in it, for those who want to glow. While others are matte for a more natural defined look.

NYX Liquid Lipstick

Average lipstick seems to almost be a thing of the past, its pretty evident that liquid lipsticks are the new wave. Liquid lipstick apply wet, then instantly dry to a matte finish. The right brand will leave you with long lasting stain power all day, and if you choose to, you can throw a corresponding lip gloss on top.

When it comes down to brows, eyeliner, or mascara be sure to gravitate towards products that are waterproof! If you tend to perspire more than usual, you can bet your makeup isn't going anywhere!

Lastly, setting it all in place. A good setting spray will lock in all your products in place for the day. If you bake your face, and use powdered products, it will take the "cakey" look away leaving everything looking smoothly blended on your face.
