It was 33°C the other day and trust me as much as I know wearing makeup as to be effortless due to the hotness but then what can I wear without feeling so uncomfortable because 33°C has no room for a time to cool down especially if you leave on a top floor where the sun rises and sets in your apartment, so if you know what I’m talking about you’d understand where I’m going with makeup.
The makeup has to be lightweight and long wearing, full of skin loving ingredients as you know the pores overwork in summer season – I’m talking of sweats, and oil production, and don’t get me started with the sun rays, so skin loving ingredient to take care of my skin while looking ‘snatched’ was all I could think of on this hot day.
More so, the less is more this season, all you need is a simple lightweight serum foundation, bronzer, soft pink blush and a tint pink lip balm. Use the bronzer for a sunkist glow with a simple eyeshadow look, the blush can also be used same way, the key is to ensure they are lightweight, long-wearing, and full of skin nourishment.
Anyway, COVET made a stop at many retailers and brands searching for what’s new in the beauty realm, we were spoilt with choices, from Charlotte Tilbury’s Unreal Stick Blush which we are so excited about because the brand came up with the foundation version and it’s all things summer perfection on the skin from it’s blurry effect, to its nourishing ingredients so when the blush version came out it’s a ‘no brainer’. Another stand out new makeup product is the Summer Fridays Blush Butter Balm – I mean it’s everything a soft summer makeup glow covets.
