Glowing Summer Skin

Before applying any make-up on your face always start with a primer.

Primer: simply a girl's best friend they can create magic for anyone's skin. Doing little things such as giving you instantly smoother, softer skin, shrinking your pores, removing oil and dry rough patches and helping your overall makeup stay on longer. Primer will also help keep your skin glowing without letting oil seep in. Products I recommend:

Smashbox Cosmetics - photo finish foundation primer
Bare Minerals -BareVitamins Prime Time

Face: after applying your magic wand its time to move on to the face. Many people don't like to wear heavy makeup in the summer because they feel like they are melting and makeup can get very sticky. At the same time they also want their skin to look healthy and glowing without looking oily. The best thing is to stick to tinted moisturizers that are oil-free. That way your pores are less likely to clog and you are still getting coverage. In order to create a glow or tan look try purchasing a shade darker than you would normally use. Remember to only go one shade darker so that you look still looks as natural as possible. Another good thing is that most tinted moisturizers have SPF in their products.

If you feel that tinted moisturizers don't give you enough coverage try and buy brands that are oil-free so that your pores don't get clogged with oil in the summer heat. You might also want to try mineral based products because they are also light way and many of them will give you the look of healthy glowing skin.

Checks: the fun part of creating a healthy glow because the checks if where it all shines. Glowing checks can add a new def to your face with wonderful illusions. This is why one of the best ways to create glowing checks is with luminizers. If you wish to do so you can mix your luminzing products with any of your foundations in order to create a bigger brighter glow to your skin. It all depends on the look you are going for. If you just want glowing checks than you can use luminizers as a blush to create and bring light to your checks or any other areas of your face. Such as your nose, eyes, or forehead.

Eyes: summertime is great for waterproof eye liners and mascara. You can also try eye primers so that your eye makeup last longer. If you want to create or add to your glowing skin, you can use colors such as bronze, silver, gold, and turquoise (which are great for already tan skin). You can also try cream eye shadow; most creams have little shimmers in them that can really make your eyes pop.
