Summertime Makeup Advice

by Christina Jones on June 16th, 2006

Julyne over at my fave About.com has a few recommendations for summertime makeup - mostly “Don’t Overload.”

You know the look: Pancake foundation, clown-ish blush & tarantula eyelashes, the black eyeliner a half an inch thick [ha ha ha ha ha!]. We believe that in summertime the average woman needs only:

1. Sunscreen (our pick: La Roche Posay)
2. A concealer for undereye circles & blemishes
3. A tinted moisturizer (our favorite: Bobbi Brown)
4. Mascara (Lancome rules)
5. A light colored lipstick or gloss
6. Soft eyeshadow shades for nighttime
7. Self-tanner (we prefer Clarins)

I am pretty close with Julyne here, but you know I love my bareMinerals, Shu mascara, Estee Lip Gloss - and at night, all bets are off. I am wearing “real” makeup. ;)
