Hola Kinks!
Today I want to try something a little different than my usual review. For those of you who follow me on SnapChat (KinkyCurlyMe) you would have seen that lately I have been dialing back the amount of makeup I wear. Kinks I love wearing makeup but honestly its getting to dang hot to wear my full face in all its glory! When I do, honestly I end up looking like this:

Now with that being said there are ways to still wear your makeup & not look like your skin is melting off in 98 degree New York weather. I just want to give you Kinks my summer face routine, this is what I do for work or if date night is a simple dinner & a movie kind of deal.
Now for a minimal makeup look one thing to me that is a HUGE must is how you prep your skin. During the summer its less makeup & more skin your seeing. I always take care of my face with my Clinique 3 Step Kit for Combination Oily Skin before applying any kind of makeup.

You can purchase Clinique products from stores like Macy's, Sephora or Century 21 Department Stores or
HERE which is a direct link to their website. If your a first time buyer I would suggest going to a store so they can help determine your skin type. You can also find this help from the Clinque website

After I have cleaned my face really well I spray it with my Skindinavia oil control primer spray. This next step isn't a must but if you are super oily in the t-zone like me I put the Make Up For Ever Step 1 Skin Equalizer on my t-zone to preserve the wear time of my makeup.
Since I have been wearing lighter makeup I skip my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pomeade and use my NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Taupe. I usually go for a more feathered brow look and set it all with the Milani Clear Gel.

Depending on what I am doing that day I will either cream contour my face or head right into concealing my evil dark circles. When I do decide I want to glam up my simple makeup look I use my Anastasia Beverly Hills Cream Contour Kit in Medium. On my simple makeup days I use powder foundation, as a personal preference I like the way cream contour looks under the foundation VS powder contour after I apply powder foundation.
As for foundation I always reach for my It Cosmetics Celebration Illumination Foundation in Tan. This foundation is perfect for the summer because it is so light weight & gives that lit from with in look. If you need full coverage It Cosmetics Foundations are made to built up so its a nice bonus.

You can purchase the It Cosmetics Celebration Illumination Foundation
HERE for $35 on their website. If your new to the brand you can usually buy kits off QVC.
Once the foundational steps are applied I top it all off with blush, a highlight, mascara or lashes. If I'm in the mood I do a simple one or two shadow look. Afterward I set it all with the Scandinavia Oil Control Setting Spray. This whole process takes about a half hour if not less. If your looking for a beautiful simple makeup routine for the summer this is one option.
I would love to hear what your summer makeup routine is Kinks!
