Medeja's Life

Hi there! ☺

Long-time no see! 
I have been away for a while. Mostly because of my exams and because I am currently doing an internship in Tenerife, Spain. 
I wrote this post at the start of the summer and even though summer is almost gone I still wanted to share it with you.
Hopefully, I'll have more time to write in the next few months before school starts again.
So without further ado, here is my summer makeup routine. 

As the weather gets warmer when summer starts, we get rid of heavy and thick clothes and replace them with something lighter and breathable ones.

I do the same thing not just with clothes but also with my makeup.
I replace a heavy foundation and concealers with lighter, thinner formulas that let my skin breath, especially on the days that are extremely hot and I start to get a bit sweaty. I just want to allow my skin to breath and get some extra vitamin D.

So here is my summer makeup routine:

I start with cleaning and washing my face, moisturize with a thinner formula cream and I always put on sunscreen, just to make sure my face does not get burned.

In the summer I don't really use a primer unless I go for a night out. 

So I start with concealer. Even in the winter, I don't like to use a thick one. I just find it creases on me so quickly. My favourite concealer is the Maybelline Fit me concealer. I use shade 12 all over my face, on blemishes and wherever I feel like I need it and for under my eyes I use shade 05 just to brighten the area a bit. Sometimes I first go in with shade 12 and then a bit of 05 under my eyes, only if I want a bit more of coverage, since it does have medium one, but it is buildable. 

After that, I will use a setting powder, just so it helps to keep the concealer in place and stops me from looking like a greasy mess.


Because I am one of the palest people I always use a bit of bronzer from Essence. I use the Sun club one, but for a lighter skin tone. I also go in with a very light hand, just so I add some tan to my face and don't look like a ghost.

For my highlighter, am currently using the Sleek Makeup Love shook Highlighting palette and I use the lightest shade. 

When I'm done with bronzer and highlighter,  I usually set my base with a setting spray.

I don't really do much to my eyebrows. On a day to day base, I mostly use only a brow gel just to set them in place and make them more feathery. I use the Artdeco Clear brow and lash gel. I find it works the best in every weather and my brows stay put no matter what.

If I feel like doing a bit of an eyeshadow look, I use my bronzer as my crease shade and one of the darker shades from highlighting palette for all over my lid. On most days I don't really like wearing eyeshadow because the sun irritates my eyes and they start to leak and my eyeshadow gets everywhere. 







as for my mascara, tend to always reach for the Maybelline falsies mascara. Even though it is pretty much dried out I still love it and I will use every last little bit. 

On my lips, I just wear a lip balm, usually, The Body Shop Born Lippy in strawberry flavour or a clear Essence Cosmetics lip gloss. 

I set all of it with a setting spray and that is it.
