Super Minimal Makeup: Perfect for Summer!


Foundation: L'oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder Foundation in Natural Beige
I keep this in my skin care basket where I keep my moisturizers and such. It's not made to be applied with sponges or brushes (says so right on the package) but with the fingers. I pour a bit onto my fingers or the back of my hand and then apply. You won't get a super amount of "coverage" per se, but you can even out your skin tone a bit. It's also helpful for me because my face is so much lighter than the rest of my body. 
Set with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent
I don't normally do this but it was REALLY hot outside and I wanted to help with shine control
I didn't use any Concealer or anything, but feel free to!

Eyes
Base: Milani Jumbo Eye Pencil in Almond Cream                   
Crease: Milk Chocolate*
Bottom Lid: I didn't use anything, but you could blend some of that 
Milk Chocolate on there as well
*Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette

Eyeliners
Upper Lid: Triple Fudge* on the Outer third
Upper Waterline: LA Girl Semi Permanent Autoliner in Black
My bottom lids are tattooed Black.
Mascara: Cover Girl "The Super Sizer" in Black
This Mascara is GREAT for the girl on the go. No need to curl your lashes because
the brush works so well to do that for you! There's no flaking or transfer either. It also
is available in waterproof.

Cheeks
Bronzer: None
Blush: Mary Kay Creme Blush in Sheer Bliss
Highlight: Nope

Lips
I simple used a lip balm. I started off with the Physicians Formula
Super BB All in One Cheek and Lip Balm Beauty Balm with SPF on my lips.
I have the peach one.
Then I popped on the Cover Girl Smooches Lip Balm in #luv u because
I wanted something a little more "Mauvy"
Truly, you can wear WHATEVER you want with this look and you'll be fine.
Liner: Uh uh
Lipstick: Nada
Lipgloss: Forget about it.

Eyeliners

Mascara: Cover Girl The Super Sizer Mascara in Very Black

This Cover Girl mascara is awesome. I believe it will be my new favorite for the bottom lids! It didn't budge or transfer. There was absolutely no flaking on the face throughout the day either. Yay! It's not super volumizing but it does give you separated long looking lashes. I think if you like a super amount of volume, this one would be a good first coat mascara and then layer it with a more volumizing mascara on top. Love it. Good job, Cover Girl! 

Cheeks
Bronzer: Mary Kay Bronzing Powder in Light-Medium
Blush: Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color Duo in Ripe Watermelon
Highlight: Highlight from the Duo mentioned above

This Mary Kay Cheek Duo lasted all day long! I even wore this on vacation and walked around in the heat and humidity all day and it never faded. I highly recommend it.
