What is in my Summer makeup bag?!

The first and absolute most important thing in my summer make up bag is SUNSCREEN! ☀️
Sunscreen should be in everyone’s make up bag.
The sunscreen I am currently using is the Neutrogena Sport Face oil-free lotion with SPF 70+. What I like about this sunscreen is that it won't clog my pores and is water & sweat resistant (which is great for me because I have the tendency to sweat.)
But what I like most is that it is recommended as an effective UV sunscreen by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
The next item in my bag is another SPF product and it's the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear® Talc-Free Mineral Airbrushing Pressed Powder SPF 30* in the shade Translucent.
I love this powder because it feels so light weight and I feel it gives just enough coverage - coverage is build-able.
This is great if you don't want to mess with foundation and just want to cover up and go! Usually, if I don't feel up to wearing makeup I'll just wear this and some mascara.
When applying this powder I just use a small kabuki brush.
For concealer I have been using the wet n wild Photo Focus™ Concealer* in the shade Light Ivory.
I love this concealer because it is so blend-able and is white-cast free!
The concealer has been "tested to be white cast-free under seven different photo lighting conditions, this high coverage concealer allows only your best features to get noticed."
Even if the concealer did not prevent white cast I would still use it. I love the formula and it's so easy to just blend in with my fingers.
I have been using two blushes so far this summer. The first blush I have been using is the SO SUSAN Blush & Glow Luminizing BLush** in the shade Rose Rust. This blush gives the perfect tint to my cheeks and also gives my face a glow! It is definitely a summer fav! 💖
I received this blush in one of my ipsy subscription bags. I find the actual blush to be over priced. I tend to stick to drug store makeup just because I feel it is just as great quality as high-end products and is in my price range.
The second blush I have been using this summer is the COVERGIRL truBLEND blush in the shade Light Rose 100.
I love this blush because it gives be just a sheer pinky glow! It's not full coverage which I like in a blush.
For highlight I have been using the trèStique mini highlight stick.*
I love this highlighting stick because I can just put it on my brow bone and dab it on my cheek bones and it gives my a great highlight to last me all day!
Now it's time for the eyes and...
EYEronically (see what I did there? 😂) all of the products I have for my eyes I have received from my monthly ipsy glam bags. Before (and if) I do my shadow I always start with concealer and pressed powder. But if I'm doing my eyeshadow these are the products I use.
The first product I like to use is the theBalm Bahama Mama® bronzer.**
I only ever really apply this to the crease and outter corner of my eye just to give my eyes some definition.
The next product I use (and probably most favorite in my whole summer bag!!) is the HIKARI Cream Pigment eye shadow** in honey dew.
This is the perfect color for my blue eyes and it just makes them pop! It is so pigmented! ✨ I just dab it on my eyelids with my finger tip and I'm all set!
The next product I use is the MANNA KADAR Radiance Split Pan Bronzer and Highlighter Duo.*
When I use this I use the highlighter on my lid and under my brow bone. I will sometimes use the HIKARI Cream Pigment as a base and then put this on top.
Then I will use the bronzer for my crease and outer corner.
The brushes that I use to apply theBalm Bahama Mama Bronzer and the MANNA KADAR Bronzer and Highlighter duo are the Elizabeth Mott Blending Brush* and the slmissglam Angled Eye W20 Brush.*
Both brushes are also from my ipsy subscriptions. From what I understand you can't buy the slmissglam Angled Eye W20 brush without purchasing the whole set which costs $325. If you are looking for an angled brush any brush will do. I also love Real Technique brushes which those are sold online and in Target, Ulta, Walgreens, Walmart, etc..
Next is mascara, eyeliner, and brows!
For mascara I have been using the itCosmetics Superhero™ Mascara* in Super Black.
I have always heard people rave about this mascara and I can see why! I was so excited when I got it! Like I mentioned earlier, if I'm not up for putting on my face I'll just do my pressed powder and some mascara and I'm good to go. I love it so much I even made a comparison photo (with just one coat of mascara) just for this blog post! 🙈
For eyeliner I have been wearing the wet n wild MegaSlim Skinny Tip Eyeliner* in Black.
I love this eyeliner because it's so easy for me to use - especially since I have such small hands!
Since it's so small and the tip is so short I feel like I have better control over it than my other eyeliners.
Anytime I go somewhere where I know I'm going to get my picture taken or whatever I'll fill them in.
Now to seal this post with a kiss! 💋 It's time for the lips!
The first thing I put on my lips is Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment. I don't ever get coldsores but I do get dry lips.
This lip ointment (I HATE that word) makes my lips feel so soft and moisturized! I'll always put this on before putting on a lipstick because helps the lipstick glide on so smoothly!
If I'm not using this then I use the NIVEA Mint & Minerals Lip Care.
Now if I'm adding color to my lips you can bet it's going to be pink! I love pink lipstick! Whether it's hot pink or ballet pink!
My first lipstick is wet n wild MegaLast lip color* in Dollhouse Pink! If you want your lips PINK then this is for you!! NOW if I want my lips hot pink but not too hot I will use the wet n wild MegaCushion Matte Lip Cream in Doll So Hard.*
Before putting on either of these products I will use the Blistex Medicated Lip Ointment.
To line my lips I use the jordana EASYLINER for lips in the shade ROSE CRUSH.
My last lip product is a lip paint from tarte. It's the tarteist lip paint* in the shade rosé. I'm not really one for matte lipsticks but this one is a must!
SO this is all that's in my summer makeup bag! What is in your summer makeup bag that you think I should try? I would love your opinion!
Look back at the end of the month for a list of my June favorites!
* indicates the product/company is labeled cruelty-free. I am currently in the process of clearing out would love to have all of my makeup products be cruelty-free.
