Looks: Simple

| Daytime Summer Makeup Look |
It's been forever since my last FOTD. I decided to share my pretty standard everyday summer day face. Its not revolutionary but its something that's quite simple and easy to replicate. The products I've used are perfect for the summer time. Let's get started.
After prepping with serum and sunscreen (see my current skincare saviours HERE), I apply NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser in Medium 1 St Moritz. Its a moisturising base with an astounding flash-safe SPF30. I then pat on MAC Mineralised Skinfinish Natural in the shade Medium Plus all over. Baking follows with a hefty dose of Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder underneath the eyes, on my forehead and nose. I let this sit while I apply the rest of my makeup.
I apply a peachy blush with gold duochrome like MAC Petal Power Mineralize Blush on the apples of my cheeks. I dust MAC Studio Sculpt Defining Bronzing Powder in the shade Golden Rinse on the hollows of my cheeks, temples, forehead and jawline to add a bronzy glow and contour at the same time. I follow with NARS Albatross Blush on the high planes of my cheeks and the bridge of my nose. My eye makeup is simple with my favourite warm-tinted nude MAC Texture Eyeshadow on the crease and MAC Engraved Powerpoint Eye Pencil. I fill in my eyebrows with Blink Brow Bar Jasmine Mogra Brow Pencil.
Now I dust off the baked powder and apply mascara. My current favourite is MAC In Extreme Dimension 3D Mascara. I add on a lippie, in this case Maybelline Touch of Spice Matte Lipstick, a matte lipstick with a creamy feel on the lips.
I love the beautiful subtle glow these products achieve and I thought you might like that too. Now off to enjoy the sunshine...

Daytime Summer Makeup Look
Starting off with my primer and SPF in one, I slapped on Laura Mercier Foundation Primer Protect paying attention to my oily T-zone. Following this I applied MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation with my fingers- the warmth of my fingertips allowed blending of the product into the skin.
I lightly contoured my cheeks with Benefit Hoola Bronzing Powder. Using a Real Techniques Multi-Task Brush I applied Tarte Exposed Blush to the apples of my cheeks. High on the cheekbones I placed some Becca Moonstone Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed.
I kept the eyes simple by lining some Maybelline Blue Eyestudio Liner just at the outer corners and blending into the lashline. The blue shade instantly makes eyes look wider awake by counteracting any redness of eye capillaries.
I used Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme Mascara, the brush might be too huge for careless use. I had to wipe away some smudges with a qtip.
Finally moving to the lips I lined and filled them with MAC Whirl Lip Pencil for a pinky brown pout. I dabbed some Maybelline Baby Lips Dr Rescue into the centre of my lips to make the lips look larger and luscious.
