Summer make up

[citygirl1961]

What make up do you use in summer or do you use the same all year round, do you change foundation shades in summer?

I don't wear foundation daily, (lazy slattern or good skin ) but I do have Bare Minerals if I'm making an effort.(It's a bit too dark for when I'm pale, I need to get a lighter shade)
I bought the Soap & Glory CC cream, it's an eye searing shade of peach but it goes on quite neutral (I think there are two shades but only one in store)

(I used Philosophy Primer for years that was the same colour but it gave a really nice finish)

The only difference I make really is using a gel (SBC Collagen/Vit E/ Vit C) at night instead of a cream.

I change foundation shade, and quite often switch to a tinted moisturiser rather than a mineral foundation - I don't like the totally matte look when I have a tan. Other than that I keep everything the same though.

Do you keep your lipsticks the same Hopefully? I am finding my usual beloved HoC 410 and 606 a bit too bright and harsh for summer, so bought number 5 yesterday. Do you have a summer lippy?

OP - I wear foundation less often in summer, plus probably less eyeshadow as I worry about it sweating off!

Ooh navy mascara instead of black but I am a product of 80s fashion so probably not done now

Charity I tend to apply a bit of lipgloss first, then lipstick, in summer. I don't keep reapplying the lipgloss through the day, just the lipstick, but the bit of gloss keeps the lip colour fractionally more sheer and appropriate for summer. I still wear full on 606 for evening/work, but wear it over gloss for daytime.

Ooh lipgloss then lipstick, well I never. Will be trying that tomorrow.

less eye shadow -just base colour and highlighter under brow-only use colour at night.
also never bother with foundation in summer
same mascara and same blusher but add a sweep of bronzer all over.
always use lip gloss all year but in summer sometimes go for a slightly brighter shade instead of my pinky/brown/nude staple.

It works much better than lipstick then gloss for some reason charity, much lech gloopy
