I have been a makeup artist and beauty expert going on 15 years. It never fails to amaze me how much my beauty routine changes when temperatures rise. I know I am not alone here because all of my clients tell me the same thing. Not only does the weather contribute to a change in how we do our makeup but our skin can see a lot of changes too. My Summer Beauty Edit discusses products that are perfect for summer weather.
In this post I will be sharing my Summer Beauty Edit. These are products that are perfect for hot weather glam or as I like to call them products that help me look cool in the heat 😉
1- SPF
Starting off with the obvious, SPF.
Finding a good SPF for your face can be a challenge but I have obviously got that covered for you. If you are struggling to find the perfect lightweight SPF for your face grab this one! It also wears beautifully under makeup, never feels greasy and doesn’t clog pores. The La Roche-Posay Anthelios Ultra Fluid SPF 50 is one of the best SPF’S out there.
Anthelios Ultra-Fluid SPF 50+ Facial Sunscreen
- La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios is the #1 Canadian Dermatologist-Recommended Sunscreen for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
- It delivers high broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection through patented Mexoryl filters and NETLOCK Technology.
- This face sunscreen is ultra-light and oil-free, leaving no white streaks, and providing a matte finish on all skin tones. It is also water and sweat-resistant for up to 80 minutes.
2- Skincare for hyperpigmentation
If like me you have hyperpigmentation you probably notice that it flares up in the summer due to sun exposure and heat sensitivity. My holy grail when it comes t keeping my skin even in tone is this Niacinamide serum.
Mela B3 Serum with Melasyl™ + Niacinamide
- La Roche-Posays latest innovation, Mela B3 Serum with Melasyl™ + Niacinamide, is formulated to visibly correct and reduce hyperpigmentation including melasma, sunspots, post-acne marks, dark spots and overall uneven skin tones.
- Key active ingredient: Melasyl™ – New, exclusive, multi-patented ingredient that visibly reduces persistent dark spots with long-lasting results, which can be visible in just one week of use, while respecting the natural tone of all skin.
3- The only complexion product you need
Less is more when it comes to foundation products during the summer. Sheer coverage and glow are what the doctor ordered. You have to try:
Rimmel London Multi Tasker Better Than Filters
This product is the MVP of my makeup routine lately. It offers sheer coverage but it’s also a primer, glow booster and highlighter. I love it because, it’s so multifunctional. You can wear it in so many different ways: layer it under your favourite foundation, use it to highlight or of course wear it by itself for the most stunning sheer glow.
This lightweight complexion product is all you need during the warm weather and it is absolutely a product you can use all year round.
4- A pop of colour on the lips
I love a pop of colour on the lips especially when it’s hot out and I don’t feel like wearing much makeup. A swipe of lipstick can pull a look together instantly.
COVERGIRL Clean Lip Colour Lipsticks
These lipsticks are brand new to the market, you’re getting the first peak at these stunning lipsticks.
They are very creamy and hydrating on the lips, the colour payoff is outstanding and they are also 100% vegan.
These COVERGIRL Clean Lip Colours have been formulated without using any carmine pigment. For those of you who are unfamiliar carmine beetles are crushed up to give lipstick their vibrant colour. If carmine was used in these lipsticks it would take approximately 31 beetles per tube to deliver the vibrant colours :/
I am going to call this a big win for all of us! No bugs in my lipstick sounds fabulous to me.
5- Long Wearing Blush
Imagine a blush product that lasts all day long in the heat? This product is fun, innovative and provides the most stunning wash of colour to the lips and cheeks.
Milk Makeup Jelly Tint
This easy-to-use lip and cheek tint glides on sheer and builds to a vibrant watercolor-like finish that won’t melt off midday. The skin-loving jelly texture is packed with vegan collagen, aloe, and seawater to give this innovative formula a refreshing, cooling effect that leaves skin looking healthy and bouncy.
6- Hair Product to Tame Flyaways
I have honestly yet to find a product that truly tames my frizzy hair but this one is exceptional. My hair texture is particularly prone to flyaways and frizz and this spray makes a huge difference when it comes to taming the poof.
Amika Top Gloss Shine Spray
This finishing spray is a lightweight, non-greasy shine spray that gives your hair the ultimate glossy finish while fighting frizz, and keeping hair colour vibrant. What’s not to love?
