Dear Summer Makeup

"I drop the heat when you bring up the sun"

Though I like many women have tons of makeup but, tend to stick to a signature looks. Something easy to put on, durable during the day and only requiring extra sweeps of mascara and a smokey eye to take me to an unexpected night. Convenience is key for me. Never has the K(Keep) I (It) S (Simple) S (Stupid) rule applied more than my easy Winter look. Comprised of, MAC warm Gingerly blush, a beige or pink lip, full eyebrows, and about one bazillion coats of mascara day or night. Its a low maintenance polished look that gets the job done. 
For summer however, I wanted to switch it up a bit;



Nars debuted its "Portrait of Paradise" palette and gave me everything I had been looking for in a summer look but, didn't know. I wanted a look that was, healthy and fresh with accentuated cheeks and  gorgeous I spend my days at the beach glow and the perfect lip to match my newly found lightly shimmered with sort of an iridescent highlight bronzed situation. This trio was everything I needed to achieve my desired look. Containing Nars best selling Orgasm blush, Laguna bronzer, and Albatross highlighting blush powder, they made it too easy! These products can be applied lightly for day and layered for an evening intense glow. I pair it with Nars South Beach multiple, Belize lipgloss (which is amazing by the way, the texture is perfect, not sticky but still provide just enough coverage) and MAC Refined Golden all over bronzer ( I go completely in with bronzer #trueconfession I don't use it as a highlighter, I put it all over my face for a sun kissed just in from the beach (in the south of France of course). Use this at your desecration and do what works best for your skin tone. Its quite flattering and comes in possibly four different varieties. I like this combination of products, and I haven't found myself switching anything product out this far. Not included in the photo is MAC Zoom Lash. I very much enjoy the freedom of this mascara meaning you can layer and build up intensity. I'm a lash kind of girl but, if I'm just running to the grocery store one or two coats will do, and I appreciate having the option to go bigger or have a more natural look. Last but not least, signature fragrance. I've worn Miss Dior Cherie since maybe summer of 2006, my absolute favorite summer smell. I only wear it in Summer, and though I've been on a fence about switching over the Chloe, maybe just on the weekends because I've shared so many wonderful summers with Miss Dior.  A sensual blend of Italian mandarin, Egyptian jasmine, and patchouli its modern fruity elegance, meaning it doesn't smell like mangoes and lollipops. Its simply divine.

I'm done for now, so one for now

Possibly forever, we had fun together
But like all good things, we must come to an end
Please show the same love to my friends
Dear summer
-Jay Z
