Light Summer makeup ''Base''

I love the summer as it generally means a thinner and more simple layer of makeup for me on the hot days (Which there isn't many of in England;).So I thought I would share with you the makeup I wear to give me a flawless base on hot and sweaty summer days.
I start with ''Maybelline: Dream Pure BB cream'' as it is a light BB cream which gives me a light (but even and enough) coverage. I particurly love this BB cream as its aimed for people with oily skin like me so it prevents my skin from being oily during the day (which means my makeup doesn't run down my face on hot days woo).
I then set my BB cream base with ''Natural collection pressed powder''. I love this powder as it sets my base without giving me an obviously powdery face. Also I find that even though I am naturally tanned many other powders give my face an orange tinge which is my pet hate so this powder is the perfect shade for me!.
Lastly I use ''Rimmel:Wake me up concealer''.I have this concealer in a lighter shade than my face in order to use it to highlight and brighten up the dark circles on my face. I really like this concealer as its thick enough to give me a great coverage but is very smooth and silky  when applying so doesn't look thick on the face. This concealer is great to apply under my eyes to brighten them up (as I get very dark circles naturally under my eyes).
I hope you liked this post! What have you been wearing on your face this summer?

  1. I've been skipping foundation and just dotting on a little concealer under my eyes and on a couple other spots and finishing up with a some pressed powder. It's nice to keep it light! I use Lancome products, they are my favorite by a mile.
