The nomakeup makeup look for hot summer days

Does anyone else has the same phenomenon going on in the summer, when the motivation to put on any kind of fancy makeup sinks against not there? I do have it. But i only let this feeling win, when i know i don't have to go out of the house or a lot under people. If i do have to wear makeup and i'm fine with a nomakeup makeup look than i am rocking it. Best thing about it is the time it takes, nearly none. Maybe five minutes? And i look more like a human and i dare to go under people.

First i put on a moisturizer or if i want a bit more "coverage" or colour correction i use a BB Cream like the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream . Sometimes a light coverage foundation. Sweep it all over my face, favorite method for this are hands. A bit of the Maybelline Master Conceal under the eyes to cover any dark circles. Blend it in with fingers and sometimes the Real Techniques Complexion Sponge for the finish touches.

For a bit colour on the cheeks i either put Revlons Creamblush with the fingers or a brush on and that's nearly it. I finish up the look with a bit of Mascara, at the moment the Maybelline Manga Mascara or the Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara. And last but not least a bit of clear brow gel to get those brows into shape. I don't bother with filling them in, although my brows aren't the boldest ones. The clear brow gel makes them stay in place and look a bit more done than if i would leave them like they are.

That's it. Nothing fancy, nothing time consuming, but still a look that makes me look a lot better than no makeup. It's all light and feels like you have nothing on your face.

What do you like to put on makeup wise on hot summer days?

Dewy makeup look

It's spring time and that means that the products to achieve a dewy makeup look are coming out of the drawer again and get slapped on my face. 

To correct any uneven skincolour and to give my skin a bit of radiance and glow i apply the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector. This also moisturises your skin a bit. Then i mix the Body Shop Radiant Highlighter with the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation on the back of my hand and apply it with a buffing brush on my face. Then i draw a triangle under each eye with the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser and blend the concealer in with a makeup sponge. To achieve the skin like finish i go with the damp makeup sponge in dabbing motions all over my face to blend in the foundation seamlessly. You can use some bronzer to warm up your face or for contour if you like.

Now when the base is done i go in with a blush. A coraly shimmery option would be the Milani Baked Blush in 02 Rose D'Oro. A bit of fresh colour for your cheeks to make you look more awake. 

Last but not least the Revlon Lipbutter in Peach Parfait. Now you can do any eyelook you want or just apply your favorite mascara and your good to go.

Do you like the dewy makeup look? Or what look do you go for in the spring?

Weekend Face

At weekends i either go completly nude (on my face) or if i have to go under people i use products, that are light and doesn't take ages to apply. I am a lazy person especially in the morning and sleep rather the ten minutes longer than spending them on putting on makeup. 

For a bit of covergae without needing to blend in foundation a lot or a heavy feeling on my face i reach for the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream. Sweep it all over the face with my hands and the face base is done. Next step to cover my dark circles is concealer. Currently i am loving the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser, i apply it in a triangle shape and blend it in with a sponge or my fingers. If i need a bit more coverage under the eyes or on any blemishes i apply the Catrcie Camouflage Cream (germany only) on top of my concealer again with my fingers. 

Blush or bronzer wise i just sweep on a blush with a bit of shimmer in it to replace a highlighter. I really love the P2 Glow Touch Compact Blush "touch of berry" (germany only) at the moment. The shimmer isn't glittery with huge chunks of glitter or anything it just gives a nice sheen with a bit of colour to your cheeks. 

For eyes i just go for mascara and a cream eyeshadow. Mascara wise i choose the clinique High Impact Mascara it gives a good mixture between volume and length to my lashes. And for the eyeshadow part i take the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in (surprise surprise) "Bad to the Bronze" put it all over the lid with my finger and blend it out with a blending brush. Eyemakeup done.

To tame my brows i just use a clear brow gel like the essence lash & brow gel mascara and last but not least the clinique chubby stick in "mega melon" to moisturize my lips and give them some colur at the same time.

That's my weekend face done and it only takes me five minutes and you nearly need no tools for the application.

Do you go completely without makeup on weekends or do you have a few products you always reach for?
