What Look Am I Rockin'?... Summer Special!

I realised I haven't really posted any makeup looks recently but luckily last week I snapped a few photo's of my makeup before I headed out. I have made a few changes to my summer makeup in comparison to last year and I will list all the products used below. I will list my skincare as well as the makeup used. Remember that products that work for me, may or may not work for you. It is all about getting to know your skin and nourishing it with what it needs. It has taken since June for my skin to feel plump and smooth since my return from Kuwait where air conditioning really impacted my skin by drying it out. I am not sure how my skin will change from being the USA for 10 days and then back to London for an evening and then onto Oman :S I hoping by hydrating it well, it should keep soft and supple. Please find below details of my 'Summer Special' look.

Skincare Regime:

1. Cleanse my face with Soap & Glory 'Peaches and Clean'.
2. Sometimes I tone with Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water.
3. Pat Soap & Glory 'Puffy Attack' eye gel around my eyes.
4. Moisturise with Soap & Glory 'Feel Good Factor' which is a translucent BB cream onto skin in upwards motions.
5. After 20 minutes or so, I apply LM Oil Free Primer to prep my skin for my makeup application.

 Makeup Regime:

1. Apply LM Tinted Moisturiser in Sand by blending with fingertips.
2. Conceal blemishes lightly with Secret Concealer No 3.5 and apply MAC Prep and Prime Illuminator in Peach Lustre as my colour corrector under my eyes.
3. Reapply/pat on a layer of LM Tinted Moisturiser in Sand and conceal any blemishes.
4. Apply MAC Prep and Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast under the eyes, above the cheekbone, along the ridge of the nose, cupids bow and chin. ( I used to contour too but now I strobe/highlight more in the summer months).
5. Dust LM Baked Radiance Highlight 01 above my cheek bones, cupids bow, ridge of nose and forehead.
6. Sweep Sleek Blush in Suede to my cheeks for a pop of colour.
7. Use Collection 2000 Liquid eyeliner to draw a cat eye liner on upper lid and UD 24/7 Eye Pencil in Crave on the lower lash line.
8. Curl lashes with LM Eyelash Curler - pump for 10 seconds and lift.
9. Use Benefit Rollerlash Mascara to separate and hold curl to lashes and then apply UD Cannonball mascara to intensify the look.
10. Apply Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Rose Gold to highlight those key areas again.
11. Dab Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream on lips to prep them for lipstick application.
12. Swipe Natural Collection Lipstick in Rose Petal onto the lips and then L'oreal Cream Gloss in Protest Queen.

*If I was going out for the evening I would use my LM Translucent Pressed Powder and gently buff into the skin to ensure my makeup holds for the evening but for everyday wear I leave it like this!

Et voila the look is complete :)

I know it is lengthy writing down each and every product I apply it makes each process clearer. I can also now apply my makeup in 20 minutes which is a turn around for me!

I hope you enjoyed reading.

Love & Blessings,
