Okay first, let me just say I’m not a huge make up wearer. I truly only wear make up to events or when I am shooting for the blog. Otherwise it is no make up at all or just a little brow color and mascara. Literally my favorite thing to do when wearing make up is to wash my face as soon as I get home. I just love the feeling of a fresh face and doing a face mask. Which I almost always do after wearing make up! 

With that said, I have also found a brand that has changed things a bit for me. I can wear their make up and completely forget that I have make up on! It is so light and doesn’t have me feeling weighed or oily. 

So while this is titled My Summer Everyday Makeup it’s truly my when I wear makeup, makeup routine. But since I like light, neutral makeup I feel as though the look of it is everyday makeup.  The whole process also only takes about 5-8 minutes so it’s quite easy to do everyday too!

Step 1: jane iredale Smooth Affair Facial Primer & Brightener – just as the name says, this primer goes on smooth, primes, and brightens. While also offering anti-aging properties to even out skin tone, minimize the appearance of pores, and increase luminosity. I’m a HUGE fan of it as it is so light and really does instantly brighten your skin. 

Step 2: jane iredale Dream Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 15 – being fair skinned adding any little bit of SPF is extremely important to me so I love that this tinted moisturizer includes that. Additionally, it hydrates, prevents water loss, calms inflammation and improves skin elasticity. All while feeling very light! 

Step 3: jane iredale Active Light Undereye Concealer – Funny story, never thought I needed undereye concealer until someone put it on me. WOW game changer! Now it is a must have every time I do my makeup. This one helps reduce undereye puffiness while also concealing and brightening dark shadows. And again, feels very light {noticing a trend?}.

Step 4: IT Cosmetics Brow Power Powder – legit obsessed with this product! I truthfully barely have any eyebrows which is why I often put this powder on when I am just wearing mascara. Adding this powder to my brows instantly transforms my look! This powder creates the look of real hair, and adds the look of soft volume and definition without ever appearing flat or drawn on. Total win! I use this gel on top to hold my brow hairs in place. 

Step 5: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact {Nectar}- I have been using this product as blush and eyeshadow since Freshman year of high school. It is that good! The shimmer creates a soft glow while the mix of shades creates the perfect color to brush across your cheeks. 

Step 6: IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara – Another product I have been using for years! This does in fact have superhero powers! It products super length, super volume, and super results {cheesy, I know but so true y’all}. 

Step 7: Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G. Lipstick {B*tch Perfect} – Currently my most favorite lipstick. Aka my most favorite lipstick I have ever owned. It is the PERFECT nude that has just a touch of color. It will be the only lipstick you see me wear all summer, for sure!

So the brand I mentioned above, is jane iredale. I was introduced to the brand in February and have been wearing it since. The brand keeps their products free of parabens, talc, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, fillers and GMO ingredients. Which is so insanely important to me! Think about it, if you are wearing makeup to work every day, that’s 10+ hours {from putting it on in the morning to getting home and taking it off in the evening} that, that makeup is sitting on your face, soaking into your skin. I for one do not want a ton of chemicals in my makeup soaking into my body every day.  Just, no! 

Additionally, the brand is all about enhancing your natural beauty, natural radiance. Again, love it! We are all, already beautiful, your make up should just enhance that. Not completely change your look! Especially when we’re talking everyday make up. 

Anyways, I love the brand, I love their products, and I love what they stand for! If you’re in the market for new makeup, I highly recommend checking jane iredale out. If you like light make up like I do, you’ll love their products! 

I also wanted to highlight some of my top makeup picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale {check out my post on the most FAQs + Top Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Catalog picks}.  This lipstick trio is my absolute top pick from the makeup offerings. Also loving this beautiful palette that is promising pretty glowing skin! Lastly, a gorgeous illuminating palette. I mean, yes please!

    Checking out the the brand now! I’ve been leaning towards “no make up-make up” looks lately. I usually wear a tinted moisturizer, blush, lipstick/gloss, and a highlighter. Definitely need to look into a primer though!

    Love this post, girlfriend!
