One of my favourite things about summer is being able to switch up my makeup bag. To me, summer makeup is all about having a natural, sun kissed glow and looking like you've just stepped off the beach. Here's some of my favourite products for summer...
Nude eyeshadow palette ($24.95)
This sweet little palette by Nude cosmetics is the ultimate all rounder, the pigments pack a punch and last all night long. During the day the two lighter colours create a perfect golden tone, and at night the addition of the brown / black shade creates the perfect smokey eye. The palette comes with the mini double end brush too, which is perfect for make up on the go.
St Tropez everyday face ($33.99)
All the benefits of laying in the sun for hours, minus the skin damage! This lotion sits so well on my skin and leaves me glowing, I've also been playing around with 'tan touring' which is using a fake tan to achieve a contour without bronzer- it's absolutely amazing and this is the perfect product for it.
Benefit sun beam highlighter ($45)
This gorgeous golden highlighter has been a makeup staple for me since it's release. It works perfectly to highlight key areas and is the perfect shade to go on top of a tan. I also love mixing a drop with foundation or moisturiser for an all over glow. Quite literally, sunshine in a bottle.
Benefit The porefessional agent zero shine ($44)
Is a new product to me but I already can't go without it, a tiny amount of powder goes a long way to stopping excess shine. Not only does this amazing little powder stop shine, it's a miracle worker with fine lines and wrinkles!
Fudge salt spray ($19.99)
Need to fake beachy hair? Then you need this in your cupboard, stat! The fudge salt spray is an incredibly texturising spray, perfect for adding some oomph to flat hair or for using to mess up fresh waves.
Nude facial scrub ($17.95)
Every girl knows a tan goes on much better on exfoliated skin right? I swear by this nude facial scrub, which is also super moisturising. I lather it all over myself pre-beach (or fake tan) to make sure I get a beautiful even, fresh glow.
Neek Come into my world lipstick ($38)
Neek are a gorgeous vegan cosmetics company and the masterminds behind this gorgeous lipstick. It's pretty pink shade is perfect for a barely there kind of look and it's wonderfully moisturising too. What I love most about this lipstick (apart from it's totally cruelty free) is how long it lasts, I can easily pop this on at the start of the day and feel safe knowing it'll still be there way past lunch time.
Jurlique Herbal recovery serum ($79)
Another total miracle product, this serum contains Naturadiance PB18+ which reduces the appearance of fine lines, increases elasticity, restore radiance, hydrates and creates a natural defence shield to help protect against environmental aggressors. And what does all that mean? It means healthy, hydrated, glowing and younger looking skin. I treat my skin to this every evening after a day out and about in the sun.
Benefit coralista blush ($51)
The perfect coral blush, it adds a subtle glow on the first sweep and a little colour pop on the second. Gorgeous over a tan and paired with sun beam highlighter! I also love pairing this with Hoola bronzer by benefit (not pictured) for a gorgeous summer contour.
