As I said in my introduction to these posts, I prefer to let my skin breathe during the day. In London I do wear a tinted moisturiser/BB cream. But while away in hotter climates I try not to put any on and just try to use concealer. During evening in summer I like to wear foundation and go for a glowing complexion. I only in wear blush during the evening, as during the day I'm naturally slightly pinky so would be pointless.
- The BB/Tinted Moisturiser I am using is from KORRES. Although after I have a tan this shade will be too light for me, I'm loving it for now. It is gives a light coverage and comes in a tube. (review on this product shall follow shortly).
- The foundation I love to use in the summer are either my JEMMA KIDD Light As Air Foundation in 04 Medium. If you do not know, Jemma Kidd has gone into administration so the products are no longer available :(. It gives a perfect amount of coverage and lasts long.
- Another foundation I love is CHANEL Vitalumière in 40 Beige. It is a glowing foundation with a medium to heavy coverage. Smells lovely and is moisturising (good for people with dry dry skin).
- I always get compliments on this Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Nectar. The colours can be used separately as eyeshadows or individual blushes or swirled together to produce a beautiful shimmery orange-pink (similar to Nars Orgasm blush). It doesn't require a highlighter and reflects the light really well.
- MAC Sheertone Shimmer Blush in Dollymix. Not that shimmery but a lovely (extremely pigmented) blush. The name says it all and perfectly describers the shade - a bright pink. I love to use this blush when I dont want a lot of blush on and want the attention on my eyes instead.
- MAYBELLINE Dream Touch Blush in 06 Berry. Although it doesn't last as long as I would want, It is a lovely bright pink (almost identical to MAC's Dollymix above). It has a light shimmer that blends really well with the above foundations I mentioned.
- BOBBI BROWN Shimmer Powder in Veil.
- NARS Bronzer in Laguna. I have written a review about this product and absolutely love to use it as a contour. I know on holiday your tanned and may not want to look even darker with a bronzer, but if you don't tan, or haven't gone on holiday, its perfect to give the illusion of a tan.
- BM BEAUTY Mineral Bronzer in Summer Warmth. I only have a tester sample size which is 1g and the actual size is 4g. Such a beautiful bronzer, which can also be used on the body as well as the face. A little goes a long way and requires a light hand.
- BENEFIT High Beam is a gorgeous pink toned highlighter. Perfect to blend into the cheek bones and brow. It is a weird sensation to rub a liquid in on your cheek bones but is such a stunning almost milky shimmer.
