Hey “BD beauties”!
Since summer is around and our makeup has been melting off
easily, I decided to put up a post writing about the most important products to
keep the makeup longer and also I will recommend my favourite products for
summer.
Face
1 Gel based primer: if you’re someone with oily skin, what
you need to look for in a primer is silicone or gel. This is usually water
based and does a great job to give a smooth canvas for your foundation. I feel
like a primer is vital if you use a foundation or even a BB cream. The one I
have been loving is one from benefit called professional it has a velvet like
texture and controls my oil really well.
2 Long lasting full coverage foundation (if you have
problematic skin) : the best one in this category for me is the Revlon colorstay
its cheap and does the job well. If you have really great skin you will be
perfect with just BB cream. The BB cream i recommend oily skin girls is the L’Oreal
one. I like contouring my face too and usually prefer a darker shade of
foundation for this purpose as this makes my contour last longer.
3 Highlighter: if you have oily skin go for powder
highlighters in the summer and if you’re dry go for liquid highlighters. You can
also pair both liquid and powder to give a really highlighted glow. I think highlighters
in the summer are just perfect. I like a golden glow so the one i use the most
is the NARS Albatross. You can use a bronzy shimmer if your tan and candlelight
shade if you’re pale.
4 A mattifying face powder: of course we all know this don’t
we? but not all of us are doing it right. If you’re an oily skin girl, its highly
likely that you get oily in your t zone mostly if that’s the case you should be
oily powdering your oily areas. And for your powder to do the real job, you shouldn’t
be using a powder brush but a puff instead and use pressing motions to lock in
the foundation.
