Happy summer everyone! If you are anything like me, you are enjoying the lazy mornings, warm days, and late nights. I have many memories growing up of summer such as hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, watermelon and of course SMORES!

Summer heat can be brutal on our skin. I often get the question, "How do I keep my makeup looking fresh in the heat?" It is simple, ditch heavy makeup products and go for a simple beauty routine. Heavy makeup always makes you look older especially in warmer weather.

Here are a few tips to lighten up on your makeup routine;

1. Skip foundation-try tinted moisturizer and go for an oil-free version. Better yet, set with an oil-free powder.

2. Add bronzer- Fake it to you make it! Apply to apples of cheeks, nose, forehead with a large brush.

3. Go for a natural eye- brush your lids with a bronze color then line with waterproof eyeliner just on top to define eyes.

4. Have fun with gloss- toss the dark lipsticks for now, and add a sheer pop of color like watermelon!

5. PRIME it- use a primer for staying power under all your makeup, a makeup artist secret we can't live without!

Don't forget about skincare...switch to lighter moisturizer, exfoliate, and mask.

Whatever your summer pleasure is make it special and beautiful -like you!
