Summer is here, and, you know what that means! Hello, beautiful fresh skin and minimal make-up looks.

I used to love a full-face beat with layers of full-coverage makeup but those days are over. Caking makeup in summer is always a challenge because of the heat. Makeup usually ends up melting off and so does all the time you put in. So, I have discovered a few essential products that have become my go-tos, in creating a flawless, fresh face that’s still a naturally beautiful makeup look.

These are the go-to products I am loving for a fresh summer makeup look     

Foundation

Blush

Benefit WANDERful World Blushes

For a beautiful sun-kissed look, these WANDERful World Blushes from Benefit gets the job done seamlessly. This silky soft powder blush is vibrantly pigmented in a wide range of shades to match your skin tone.

This blush has a soft airbrushed finished for the perfect flushed look!

Available from Superbalist

Highlighter

Swiitchbeauty – DewDiligence balmy highlighter stick

If you like a fresh, dewy skin finish this summer, you need a balm or liquid highlighter. This one from Swiitchbeauty is my personal favourite.

This quick stick is super easy to apply and blend into your skin. It has no glitter or sparkle but delivers a healthy dewy skin shined with a glassy luminous finish.

The velvet-like texture just melts into the skin, giving you a natural-looking glow. It can be used on the cheekbones, brow bones, the bridge of the nose and the cupids bow.

Pro Tip: I love to add some to my shoulders and collarbones for a beautiful shine.

Mascara

MAC – Mac Stack Mascara

For years I have struggled to find a mascara that doesn’t leak off my eyelashes, leaving me with panda eyes! Eventually, I found my golden ticket with Mac.

This mascara instantly provides volume and length to your eyelashes without any clumping. One wand through your eyelashes will naturally give your eyes an open appearance. Its long-wearing formula is suitable for warm summer days.

Available from a MAC Store or MAC Online in various sizes.

Brow Gel

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze

If my eyebrows are neatly brushed, I feel like a brand-new human being.

Since the soap brow is trending for the season, this brow freeze from Anastasia Beverly Hills is perfect to hold your brows in place. It offers a strong hold to any brow style you desire as it lifts, tames and sculpts the eyebrow hairs. This is the product that you need to achieve the feathered brow look.

The clear jelly-like formulae is suited for any skin tone.

To apply, use a spooky brush and brush the product through your eyebrows in the desired direction and style you want, and believe me, it won’t move!

Lip Balm

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

Everyone loves a multi-purpose product, and this product is the very definition – multi-purpose!

Not only is this a skincare essential but it soothes, restores, calms and helps relieve chapped, cracked, dry skin. It is the perfect lip balm treatment that delivers a beautiful shine as well.

Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream moisturises your lips, so if you want to add a lipstick or lip tint, you can.

All these products are versatile and come in different shades for different skin tones.
