Summer for me is my favourite time of year the long summer nights, barbecues and fun in the sun is what I love most.

In summer we can be a bit more playful with our make up but keeping it looking natural for me is key, to let your natural beauty shine through.

My Day Summer Make up Tips

SPF foundation

My personal favourite is Natio SPF 15 foundation, has more of a sheer natural cover and blends out my flaws - very close to my natural skin tone also.

Lip gloss

I prefer Revlon lipglosses the colours are lovely and they aren't sticky like some brands and last a long time too on.

Eyeshadow - I use natio brand of eyeshadow in pinks palette I use to love browns but find pinks are more subtle and make you glow in summer

Mascara - I use revlon mascaras I find they dont clump and make my eyelashes look longer which is a bonus for every gal.

Night Time Summer Make up Additions

Bronzer - summer time is all about the glow on affect. Bronzers can replace blush and make you have that sunkissed look. Tip brush over your cheekbones like blush and around your de collete chest area to give you a lovely glow.

Eyeliner - I personally use Revlon eyeliner just under the bottom of my eyelids I find if I put it on the top it looks too harsh. Dark brown is my favourite go to but depends on your look or eye colour.

Kiss proof lipstick or lipgloss

This is an important one nothing worse than your lippy coming off on your wine glass or more so on your man. My favourite kiss proof lipgloss is revlon colour stay.

Keeping it natural and pretty is what summer is about. Whether on a daytime excursion or night time date these little tips should help you to shine.
