Eyeliner: Anything that doesn’t smudge
Blush: Anything! I’m not a big blush wearer, but I like it in the summer for a “fresh” look.
Lipstick/gloss: Anything sparkly, but I try to avoid reds and berries unless it’s for a night out.

SORRY, OFF TOPIC BUT I AM ALSO WONDERING WHAT IS A GOOD WATERPROOF EYELINER. SOMETHING YOU CAN GO SWIMMMING WITH THAT WON’T SMUDGE OR COME OFF. THX AND SORRY CHRISTINE!

MAC Liquid Lasts – lasts forever but there are known to be hard to take off but should be fine if you have an oil-based makeup remover.

For pencil, try Urban Decay Liners or Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes.

Best eyeliner for summer? MAC Fluidlines because they stay in place so well

Best blush for summer? Hang Loose from In The Groove is such a pretty, shimmery pink. It looks soft, though it has nice pigmentation. It makes the skin look glowy, but in a good way.

Eyeliners: Anything blue/teal/green that will make the eyes pop and the colors go so well with corals and oranges.
Blushes: Anything corally/orangy/red. For me, I find that I always gravitate towards Taj Mahal and Turkish Red from NARS in the summer. I usually wear them on top of some bronzing powders.
Lipsticks: I have a stash of l/s that I keep only for summer because they look way better with tanned skin; From MAC Savory, Unflappable, Sunsational, Jazzed, and the like (I tend to like the yellower/orangier/corallier (sp?) type of colors)
Lipglossses: Anything yellow/orange/bronzy/red/coral. Can’t remember all the names but all are MAC
