Summer 2012 beauty favs

Living in the city for the first time throughout the summer has me reaching for a ton of products since my skin is not used to this much humidity ever.  These are my most reached for beauty products of this summer 2012 =)

 

MUFE HD Power - Has been my life saver product over the past few months. Keeping my make up in place and less sweaty , a little goes a long way with this product I have had the same one for two years now.

 

MAC Select Sheer Pressed powder (NC20)

Setting my make up with this daily and I also bring it in my purse to touch up throughout the day. I love how it sets make up and makes my skin look less shiny in the heat.

 

MAC bronzer in Golden 

I have had this for two summers now ! I have finally hit pan! I only wear it when I am going somewhere at night, I feel like with the humidity and heat in the summer my skin looks too shiny with bronzer added on.

 

Almost done finally ha!

 

MAC Paint pot in Bare Study

I opt to wear this paint pot in particular the majority of the summer because it looks natural on the lid and is something you can wear on its own or with primer. Only when it is not as humid though because it tends to look less natural with the effects of the heat.

 

Blush by Benefit in Coralista 

For a bit of extra color on my face for special occasions or going out I always turn to this one because I feel that it gives a nice glow to the cheeks.

 

Super 8 BB Cream

I have been in love with this BB cream ever since last summer and I have been recently comparing it to the new one that Garnier came out with. I find that this one is better simply because it doesn't leave any sort of shine or heavy feeling like I feel the Garnier one does.

 

Maybelline Illegal length mascara 

 This mascara does not smug for me whatsoever no matter how hot or humid it gets in the city. I used to only get water proof ones which work great but are annoying to get off at the end of the day. This mascara lengthens and makes your lashes look full and natural.

 

Smash box primer and Urban Decay Primer Potion

These have saved my make up from going anywhere in the hot days and nights all summer. Smash box's photo finish is smooth and doesn't clog your pores if you happen to sweat throughout the day, it help keeps your make up from melting away. UDPP I would wear under both paint pots and eye shadow to keep everything from creasing.

 

MAC Eye shadow in Naked Lunch 

This has been what I have been using as a highlight all summer, mostly in the inner tear duct area of my eyes and then sometimes along my brow bone. When it is way too hot to wear barely any make up I usually wear this shade on my lid over Urban Decay's primer potion.
