My Makeup: Going Lighter For Summer

Being June and technically Summer that means it's a time where I go a little lighter with my hair colour! Nothing too drastic just a few extra highlights here and there       

As well as going lighter with my hair I also go lighter with my makeup! The tinted moisturisers have come out and I've been giving them all a throughout test. My favourite so far has been the Becca Luminous Skin Colour Ultra-Sheer Foundation SPF 25, expect a review soon but for now it's very light in coverage and does need a little sweep of powder over the top. Being such light coverage does mean I'm cracking out a bit more concealer than usual too. Apart from that I'm still madly in love with the Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel 917 Sable Rose from their summer collection (link to post here) that I think I may need to go into crazy backup buying mode and stock up as they are limited edition!

Skin

- As a bronzing base I've been using This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle which is basically the face version of what I wrote about here minus a bit of shimmer. Just takes the skin a shade darker without needing to apply a darker foundation

- Like I mentioned the Becca Luminous Skin Colour has been my tinted moisturiser of choice recently, very watery in texture and providing minimal coverage but feeling very weightless on the skin. I think it will be a great one when the sun comes out! For extra staying power I do sweep over a layer of translucent powder with a big fluffy brush. I do have to slap on an extra bit of By Terry Touche Veloutee Concealer (review here) for some extra coverage

- Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel in 917 Sable Rose has been my latest product love, I think I could rave about this forever! A little item from their Summer collection, Summertime De Chanel (post here) and is the perfect combination of bronzer, blusher and highlighter that you can just slap on the cheeks with a fluffy brush and looks perfect - no effort required

Eyes
- Applying two matt shades, Burberry Sheer Eyeshadow in Porcelain No.03 over the lid with Almond No.06 in the crease for a bit of definition. Burberry eyeshadows are definitely ones that I would repurchase as they come close to the top of my favourite eyeshadows as well as having the more gorgeous neutral colours. Full post about them here
- A fine line of Hourglass Script Eyeliner which possibly has the finest nib ever making eyeliner application so easy! Review here
- I've been dotting Pixi Glow Tinker Bell Fairy Dust in my tearduct just to open up the eyes and have a pop of shimmer and for mascara just the usual combination of Dior Lash Primer & Serum (post here) and  Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill (post here)

Do you apply lighter foundation in Summer too?
