Hi friends!

So excited to share some of my go-to summer makeup products as well as a new find that is one of my new favorites!

I’ve switched up my makeup routine a bit for summer - I love a natural (but well covered of course) look that’ll give you that glowy effortless summer look we all want, but probably put a lot of work into that look am I right?! Haha JK. This look I’ve excluded some of my normal steps to give you a flawless, but easy, effortless look!

Almost ALL of my makeup items are from Nordstrom. It kind of has always been my go-to shop for everything - beauty, makeup, skincare, clothes, shoes… the list goes on I mean we all know how great Nordstrom is here hahaha. Especially during quarantine I’ve definitely been using the easy shipping wayyy too much haha!!

ANYWAYS. I’m going to be sharing today my core products I use that are essential for that flawless, but effortless look - so let’s get started! All links & shades will be provided below for you to shop. Enjoy! xx

foundation

First of all, these brushes are available at Nordstrom, they are the Sigma Beauty x Hollie Woodward collection, but are currently sold out! I will be sure to link once they become available again. Usually I’ll use a beauty blender sort of sponge for my foundation, but lately I’ve been loving these brushes!

I have loved this foundation for YEARS. I seriously have used it since high school and have tried so many foundations and have always come back to this one!

It can be a little heavy so if you want it a little lighter, sometimes using a beauty blender sponge does make it feel more lightweight! I use color 2n2 buff.

bronzer

This bronzer STEALS. THE. SHOW!!! I just ordered this bronzer as it recently launched on Nordstrom, y’all.. it’s so good. The word “airbrush” is in the name for a REASON. It has such a great brown color (no shimmer), gives you a matte flawless look. It can be so hard to find a bronzer that is blend-able and one that doesn’t make you look orange. I’ve always loved the products from this brand because they create amazing high quality products. I’m using color 2 “Medium” and highly suggest this shade!

powder, mascara & lips

Next, translucent powder!! This one has been one of my go-to’s for years as well! Its great for setting under eye concealer, and the rest of your liquid makeup! I typically do this step before I apply my bronzer.

For mascara I have been using this one for about a year now and love the way it creates volume and length to my lashes! I only have to apply a little and it goes a long way!

Last, but not least my lip combo! This is the BOMB. First lipstick - color is KKW. The BEST nude color I’m convinced. Then to finish just a tad of this gloss - color is Crystalline. A little goes a long way with this one as well!


 

Also linking my outfit here as well! Sweatshirt is only $28 and the coziest thing! Fits TTS. Love wearing it with black leggings, but also goes with beige joggers, white leggings/biker shorts, or even jean shorts if you live somewhere cooler! I typically size one size down in Alo for the leggings, and I love this compass necklace! I have definitely got my money’s worth out of this one.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! As always feel free to DM or email me with any questions. Have a good rest of your week friends!!
