Summer Make Up Favorites

by Elsa Termenon on June 29, 2011

As I said in this post, I like to keep my make up to a bare minimum in the summer heat. Here are my summer make up favorites!

Calvin Klein Sun Drenched (304) Summer Affair Bronzing Powder. I’ve used this one for a few summers now and it gives the perfect matte and sun kissed look. It is not as illuminating as most bronzers but gives a more natural look.

M.A.C Mineralize cSkinfinish Natural in Medium. This is the perfect all year around powder as it’s basically a transparent mineral powder that never leaves that stiff feeling to you face. And you can even use it the sun.

Lancome Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette in Bronze Amour 101. This palette is a new favorite and is so so perfect for a dewy glowing summer look. I’ve got quite a few compliments when wearing the gold or the bronze shadow.

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash (in blackest black) is the perfect summer mascara. It never gives a dramatic look, but more of a natural lash look which I prefer on hot days.

Laura Mercier  Illuminated Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20. I’ve raved about it before but I can’t say enough good things about this product. It’s light and evens out the skin tone at the same time. And the illuminating quality completes the dewy summer look I love so much.

Lancome Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette in Bronze Amour 101 – a new darling in the make up bag!

    Thank you for sharing your make-up favorites! :) Are you wearing MAC Skinfinish over LM tinted moisturizer or alone? 

    p.s. I think your Bronze Amour is Lancome, not YSL :)

    Well sometimes I wear the MAC Skinfinish powder on its own or either over the LM… I like to just brush it over my face lightly to get the gloss off! 

    You’re totally right about the palette – I wrote YSL but of course it’s Lancome! Thanks!!

    It really is the perfect powder, I can recommend it! I wore it even on my wedding day in the summer heat and it takes off the gloss without leaving that “powdery” feeling on your face!
