Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name! (Blue-green eyes)

What lip product have you used the most this summer? Basically, is it nude? Is it red? Well then, I’ve probably been rocking it this summer! I do have certain favorites that got worn more regularly, ie; MAC Marque Ultimate Lipstick, PMG She’s Heaven Luxetrance, Bite Jicama Liquified Lipstick, UD Broken Vice Lipstick, Fenty Gloss Bomb Universal, Becca Beach Nectar lipgloss, MAC Maria Moretti and Natural Born Leader, and UD 100 Degrees.

What foundation have you used the most this summer? Mostly, mixing MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation in NC41 with my Lumene BB cream because the Pro Longwear Nourishing is so full coverage and thick. Or, lately I’ve been mixing Fenty Pro Filt’r Hydrating Longwear foundation in 270 with Lancome Teint Idole in 360, because 270 seems too rosy peach and 360 is too dull of an olive. The two together give me a perfect match! Olive with some slightly peachy overtones.

What blush have you used the most this summer? Either MAC Oh My, Passion or Cheek Pollen, Tarte Paaarty Amazonian Clay Blush, or Nars Fetishised Blush.

What lip product have you used the most this summer? In early summer, I was on a mission to try to wear different shades every day. Then MAC Love Me Lipsticks were released, and since then, I’ve been in love with Hey Frenchie and Laissez Faire. My favorite summer “evening out red” is MAC Lady Danger.

What foundation have you used the most this summer? I’m a loyal EL Double Wear fan year-round.

What blush have you used the most this summer? CP Blush Stix in Mini Me, Flamenco, and More Is More. I use MAC Mineralize in Sweet Enough a lot, too.

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair-Light neutral leaning cool.

What lip product have you used the most this summer? Dior Lip Tattoo in 451 Natural Coral (lip stain). Patrick Ta’s lip gloss in “Is She Younger Than Me?”was another favorite; amazing formula, no stickiness, my only complaint being about the peppermint scent.

What foundation have you used the most this summer? I’ve only used foundation a couple of times this summer (Clinique Perfectly Real liquid foundation, discontinued unfortunately). What I’ve used the most were two tinted products from Drunk Elephant (their Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense SPF 30 or the D-Bronzi drops mixed with my sunscreen, Biosolis). And I topped these DE products with Becca’s Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder applied on my T-zone. This was my HG combo this summer. I’ve used the Laura Mercier velour puff to apply the powder and I really took the time in the morning to press the powder into my skin, and I must say that I rarely needed to retouch or even blot my T-zone using this method.

What blush have you used the most this summer? Inglot AMC Liquid Blush (93) and the Hourglass Luminous Glow blush from their Vol. 4 palette.
