Adjusting your makeup routine in the Summer is really important. Really, less is more for these Summertime tempts. And let's face it, no one wants to have a cake face and makeup running down your face is not an attractive look!
So, what's been saving my face? Well, let me tell you, Tinted Moisturizer. Its been a LIFESAVER for me! I've used it before, but had stopped for whatever reason ... and for a month or so, I've been using it again.
I've been using Smashbox's Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer, and I absolutely LOVE it! It's Oil Free, lightweight, blends well and gives me enough coverage. And not to mention, it has some really good ingredients.
The Tinted Moisturizer is: Lightweight, oil-free, and is packed with vitamins and anti-aging peptides for naturally radiant skin. It also contains citrus honey moisturization technology that nourishes the skin as it absorbs excess oil throughout the day and UVA/UVB SPF 15 guards against future damage so skin stays flawless and protected.
This is my routine:
Clean face
Moisturize
Prime face
Apply Tinited Moistruizer
Conceal face/under eye
Apply Powder to set TM
Prime eyes/apply shadow/mascara etc
Fill brows
Apply Bronzer/Blush
Apply Lipstick or Lip gloss
That's my basic makeup routine. If I am going somewhere that's a little more glamorous, I vamp it up a bit more! Just to run errands and whatnot, this is perfect!
I really don't have to powder my nose or blot too much. That is a big plus for me ... I don't like to have to re-apply powder.
(A few Products I use on a daily basis)
I'll let my Pros be the really great ingredients and the overall feel and coverage that I get.
Now, I do have a two Cons. The Cons are:
- The price is $30 plus tax (size is 1.7 fl. oz.)
- There's only 5 shades (Fair, Light, Medium, Dark and Luminous.)
If you want to try it out before purchasing you can go to your local Sephora (or any store/boutique that sells Smashbox products) and ask for a sample!
Remember, less is more and by all means necessary, SAVE YOUR FACE, GIRL!!!
