-------a few pointers------
1. SUNSCREEN- i cant stress enough on this one, though ur foundation may contain spf, its always a good idea to put on some sun block underneath it cuz u dont want the UV rays to touch ur skin in places where ur foundation maybe a bit sheer or sometimes missing!

2.FOUNDATION- its an absolutely smart move to skip foundation this season, u can replace it with BB creams, tinted moisturisers or mineral powder foundations. they will even out ur skin tone and sit there throughout the day, using a primer is a good idea too!

3.BRONZER- this one thing for me defines make up in summer! i cant live without it! there's nothing more beautiful than healthy bronzed sun kissed skin!

4.EYESHADOWS- anything powdery is good so that the excess oils are absorbed, light shimmery colours are really flattering and for the experimental few, u can go all out and color the world:). the blacks, browns and more earth toned colors can take a back seat.

5.MASCARA AND EYELINERS-waterproof mascara is a must this season for fun flirty looks, black eyeliners can be replaced with colorful ones for a pop of color!

6.BLUSH- corals without a doubt! nice peachy pinks, oranges and peach by itself!

7.LIPSTICK AND LIPGLOSS- go shimmery rather than matte, full luscious lips are year round!


HAPPY HOLIDAYS:)!!!!
