I always switch my makeup from glowy to matte each year. Now, I am not a foundation wearer at all. However I use tinted moisturizer (bb cream) during spring and summer months and once September hits til march? I'll be using matte thank you. I have 2 products that achieve my looks and they're super cheap but effective. For my glowy summer look I use garnier BB cream and for the fall I use maybelline dream matte. I love the idea of switching up the skin finish each season!

Makeup switch up

Makeup refresh
Do you change your makeup with the seasons? I do. Often, I opt for a natural, glowy look for the summer followed by a bold tangerine or coral lip. For fall, I really love a matte complexion with a raspberry or red lip. Winter, I really adore shimmers with a subtle pink lip. Spring, I look to pastels. Right now, it is summer, so it's all about the glowy look.
Here are a list of some of my go to favorites:
NARS blush in ORGASM. There's no going wrong with this shade. It gives you such a beautiful ethereal glowy look. Bonus, it's universally flattering on every one! Perfect for a bridal look
NARS Sugarland eyeshadow duo. Matte and shimmer shadows play out a lovely natural look
Benefit watts up highlighter- a glowy look isn't complete without highlighter. I run under brows, across forehead, and temples.
No summer look is complete without at least 30 spf. I love L'Oréal silky sheer lotion for that.
Above all, primer is a must. If you don't use it, your makeup simply won't look it's optimum. If you don't prime, you pay the crime! ☺ SMASHBOX photo finish is my personal favorite.
Lastly, if you haven't discovered BB cream by now, you really need to! This tinted moisturizer has spf AND 5 benefits of use. I never go without my BB! Personally, I use garnier BB cream. I've used it for 3 years and ive liked that one the most.
