What are your must-have summer products? What do you just have to have during summer?

I am now addicted to tinted moisturizer! I also love stains, cream blushes, and bronzy cheeks.

Thanks to Pursebuzz for the question idea! 🙂

A light gold shimmer brick for my cheekbones. I never wear blush on summer, I prefer to glow. Otherwise, a good sfp cream!

I’ve actually never tried tinted moisturizers but I’ll have to find one this year 🙂
I really like lip/cheek stains and glowy skin in the summer 🙂 Benefit Posie tint, Benefit High Beam, Pearl CCB, Vanilla pigment, Pink Opal pigment and Strobe Liquid are must haves for me 😉

Lately, I’ve been really into creme blush from MAC applied with the 109, as well as a fan brush to apply bronzer.

What tinted moisturizer are you using that you like best? I’m trying to get my hands on some!

Bold lip colours and lots of shimmer for cheeks or lips or eyes.. 🙂 And I love stains too for lips&cheeks. Cream blushes, gel blushes.. Waterproof mascaras.. They’re my must haves.

Definately tinted moisturizer – all over foundation is just too heavy for the heat and humidity summer always brings. I’ve only just discovered tinted moisturizer and I use Stila’s with some physician’s formula bronzer and a cheek stain. Helps you look fresh throughout the day.

Lipglasses, MSFs, and bronzy neutral eyeshadows. I’m going to purchase a bronzer, Prep + Prime Skin SPF50 and a tinted moisturizer since everyone is going to skip foundation for the summer.

To be specific: Waterproof eyeliners (black, dark brown, turqouise and dark purple)(hello, UD 24/7 liners!), Everyday Minerals foundation and Waffle Cone bronzer, Neutrogena’s Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch suncreens, bronzy and peachy eyeshadows (UD eyeshadows in X, Half Baked, Toasted, Sin and so on), and I’d also really like to find some cool lip colours for summer.. some pop of colour!

Although tinted moisturizer is great, I really prefer mineral foundation in the summer, it just feels so much more comfortable to me.

Neutral eyeshadow (Femme Fi is my current favorite, though Rice Paper and Naked pigment are good too) and black/brown mascara. Summer is usually when I take my makeup break (unless I’m going to a specific event where I want to get all done up)

Koh Gen Do Aqua foundation, Benefit High Beam, SPF50, Lipgloss, Silver liner (shu painting liner specifically :p), Blue shadow!

My home-made tinted moisturizer: I mixed garnier pure A moisturizer, mac studio sculpt foundation and a bit of melon pigment…and I love it! It’s light and makes my skin glow (and not shiny, thanks to garnier cream)

mattifying facial sunscreen, invisible setting powder, peachy blusher, redhead msf (great alternative to bronzer if you are v fair IMO), and peachy or corally lip colours (I’m kicking myself for not getting lollipop loving l/s right about now!)

Jennifer Avatar

A light foundation or tinted moisturizer, bronzer (powder & liquid), SPF daily moisturizer, light metallic or duochrome shadows (loving UD), SPF lip balm and glosses galore:)

Tinted moisturizer and a dusting of pressed powder on my T-zone, MAC Engraved Powerpoint Pencil, Maybelline Full ‘n’ Soft Waterproof, my makeshift versio of MAC Brow Set (Maybelline Expert Wear Brow Pencil in Dark Brown with Garnier Brilliantine Shine Hair Gel over that applied with a clean MAC Mascara X wand), Pixi’s lip/cheek stains for naturally flushed cheeks and stained lips.

CHRISTINE! I need help! You are always talking about how you are wearing a tinted moisturizer. What kind is your favorite? Because I’m looking for a good one!
Thanks!

Looks like it’s going to be a BB cream with SPF 35. I tested it last Monday, and currently waiting for mine to arrive. Great product: covers redness, evens out the skin + more!

Jody Avatar

Giorgio Armani bronzer, Bare Minerals faux tan, Peppermint Patti nail polish, Perfect Topping MSF, and nude and pink lippies like 3n, Myth, California Dreamin, and Fun Fun.
