Summer is coming up and my top destination of choice is, of course, the tropics! Having salty hair, bronzed skin, and hearing nothing but the continuous sound of waves crashing is what I thrive for. Doing makeup while on vacation is so fun because you can try new things, such as giving yourself an “ultra bronzed” look and using the natural palettes to let your natural beauty shine bright.
For my look I am starting off with my Smashbox Photo Finish primer ($48) and patting the Dior Nude Air foundation ($58) right over the top. This foundation gives a natural and matted look that I find to make my face look the most clear. Once my foundation is completely mixed in I begin my light contour with my Lorac Pro To-Go powders. I believe that this powder gives my face a natural contour in comparison to some of the cream kits. I top this off with my Too-Faced blush ($40) and my Becca shimmer powder in the color Pearl ($35). Mixing all of these different
highlights, bronzers, and blushes together gives me my favorite fresh-faced glowing look. To end off my look I use the Smokey Naked Palette by Urban Decay ($54). I lightly brush the color Dirty Sweet onto the inner corners of my eyes, then cover the middle section of my lids with Radar, next I shade the outer part of my lids with a mixture of two colors- Whiskey and Black Market. To make my eyes pop I give a light dust to the bottom of my lids in the color High. The finishing touches include my mascara in this case I am using MAC ($40) and of course, my brows where I use the Anastasia Brown Wiz in the color light brown ($35).
Summer is coming up fast and it is easy to let the
makeup prep slip through your fingers! Starting to prepare with getting a powder contour kit and less intense shadows. When doing a makeup look for a vacation in the tropics it is key to stay in the realm of having a natural looking face with extra bronzed contouring. Always let yourself play around with different looks until you find the perfect one that is natural and makes you feel the most confident.
