wanted to illustrate my summer makeup: basically eyeliner and nars blush in luster topped with mac skinfinish in soft and gentle but the lighting didn’t turn out so desirably (when it’s just you, your timer and a few minutes to spare before work, you take what you can get) but you get the picture, simple and slightly gilded.
i love how even the slightest tan on your face goes such a long way in the summer months. i honestly wear far less makeup during the summer. but mind you, it’s also so hot out lately that the thought of caking on makeup is completely off-putting.

  1. Ohh I'm right with you on minimal makeup in summer. A bit of moisturiser then a quick finish of bronzer all over is all I generally use unless I need to whip out the concealer ;)

And haha i totally know what you're saying re: a few minutes to spare before work… although i usually take my photos when i come back and look miles from your fresh-faced self! The makeup is gorgeous and so are the curls! Hope you had a good weekend darling!!

  6. Your hair looks gorgeous all curly!

    I also share a similar makeup routine: using spf moisturizer, bronze liner and mascara. That way it doesn't feel like my face is melting off in the hot summer sun! :)
