Even though I am a makeup (and skincare) junkie, I try to not wear as much on my face during the summer season. I am lucky enough that I get to walk to work but for the New Yorkers out there, you know when it is summer here the heat really gets to you quickly. Sometimes I feel like just my walk to work, my makeup melts off my face. I’m sure others can relate anywhere during the hotter months but it is beyond uncomfortable and gross.
Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen:
-I discovered this when I was at the Create & Cultivate conference in LA back in February. This sunscreen is so light, it feels lighter than my primer. Absorbs almost instantly into your skin and super light on your skin. Like I said, it feels lighter than my face primer which speaks volumes. Doesn’t matter what season it is, I always wear SPF on my face and this is great to keep in my bag during the summer. Plus, they have a huge 18 fl oz bottle you can keep at your house for you and your family!
NARS: Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30:
-I have been using this for a looooong time now and it has not failed me. The color I use (usually St. Mortiz) blends in with my skin tone very well and it is super lightweight. I use this on a daily basis and I do not even use that much. What is also great is when I do breakout and need to add additional foundation and/or concealer, I still use this as my base because it is so light on my skin and easy to add another layer or product. It keeps my skin very moisturized and glowing.
NARS: Bronzing Powder
-Staying on the NARS train, their bronzer is also a favorite. It gives my skin that extra glow that I love to have ESPECIALLY during the summer. They also have little pigments of a golden shimmer to make your skin truly shine and have the sun hit your skin all on the right spots.

Burt Bees Lip Shimmer
-This is my go-to year round. I keep this in my bag all the time! I am ALWAYS on the go, and anytime I need a quick touch up, I feel like this lip shimmer just gives me that extra pop that I need when I go from work to rooftop happy hour. It keeps my lips moisturized with the vitamin E and I love that it comes in 14 different colors.

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Treatment
-Another one I keep in my bag year-round is this bad boy. The main reason why I love this one over the Burt Bees Lip Shimmer is that it has SPF 15 in it. The lip tint is subtle but gives you a little extra attention your lips deserve and great for everyday wear.
Too Faced: Better than Sex
-I wish I could tell you guys how I found out about this mascara but I think I just randomly picked it up one day in Sephora. During the summer, I use the waterproof version because I am always in the water. I was in the ocean last weekend when the ocean temp was 58 degrees and I was wearing this. No smudges, no black makeup running down my face. I naturally have long lashes but this makes my eyes truly pop. It gives my lashes the attention they deserve. It is so volumizing and has just enough thickness to the product. The brush itself separates my lashes but also brings each lash the best curve.
For my brows: I typically try and use a gel to keep them in place during the day. I will only really fill them if I am meeting friends or going out. I either use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz or their Dipbrow (if I want to make my brows more defined)
For my eyes: I am a lover of the winged liner but during the summer I try so hard to not use the winged liner on a daily basis. if i do a winged liner then i use the Kat Von D
