New bathing suit? Check! Cute beach tote? Check! Sunglasses? Check! Glowing skin? Ummmm??? With the heat and humidity that we’re having lately, you definitely don’t want to wear a full face of makeup this summer. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look put together and polished with a little summer glow.
Today, I am super excited to partner with Nordstrom to share several
of my favorite summer beauty must-haves with you all. I usually buy the majority of my beauty
products from Nordstrom because they offer huge selection of some of my
favorite beauty brands like NARS, Chanel and MAC Cosmetics. Nordstrom is usually my one-stop shop for just
about anything! If I ever need to find an outfit, the new “it” handbag, a new
pair of shoes or any new makeup, then I always head over to the Nordstrom website
first. I love that they offer a fun rewards
program, they have an amazing return policy, and of course the shipping is always
FREE!
In today's post, I'm rounding up 7 of my everyday Nordstrom Beauty Must-Haves
plus a few tips for wearing makeup in the summer heat! These products are perfect
for achieving that no-makeup look on a hot & sticky day or a full -ace look
for that next big outing! Although a few
of these items I’m sharing have been my tried and true favorites for the past
few years, I also trying out new items here and there and I can’t wait to share
some new ones with you. So let’s get
into it!
1. Sunscreen
This beauty essential is necessary all year long not only in
the summer months. Since I’m in the sun
a lot here in Florida, I wear sunscreen everyday under my foundation. I
currently love the Smooth & Poreless Matte Screen Sunscreen from Supergoop. It’s great for daily
use since its lightweight blends seamlessly into the skin for a non-greasy
finish. This sunscreen has SPF 40 with
translucent formula that blurs pores and mattifies skin.
Other sunscreens that I’ve heard really good things about
include: Unseen Sunscreen by Supergoop; GlowScreen by Supergoop; Suncare Refreshing Water Mist SPF 30 Sunscreen by Coola; and Sun Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Face Sunscreen by Clinique
2. Tinted Moisturizer
/ Light Foundation
I usually just wear a light powder foundation on days that I
don’t want anything too heavy on my face.
My go-to is the Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation by MAC Cosmetics. It is a one-step powder
foundation that gives skin a smooth, even, all-matte finish with shine
control. I use the color NC 45 – Deep
Bronze Peachy.
I haven’t tried out any tinted moisturizers yet, but I plan
to try the Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum by NARS. I’ve also heard really
good things about this Nude
Finish Tinted Moisturizer by Bobbi Brown and the Tinted Moisture Natural Skin
Perfector by Laura Mercier.
3. Concealer
No matter how much sleep I get, I have always had ready dark
circles under my eyes. I’ve just accepted that and try to find the best
concealers to blend into my skin. The Radiant Creamy Concealer by NARS
has been my favorite for a while now. It brightens, corrects and hydrates for a
16 hour wear. I use the color Caramel.
Another concealer that I’ve been testing out lately is the Born This Way Super Coverage Multi-Use Concealer by Too Faced. It’s a multi-purpose concealer
that contours, highlights and masks imperfections.
4. Bronzer
I just ran out of my bronzer, so I’m excited to try out the Airbrush Flawless Finish Bronzing Powder by Charlotte Tilbury. This formula was created to blend with
the skin while blurring the appearance of any imperfections. The compact is
about double size of your average bronzer, so it should last you a long
time. This bronzer comes in 4 shades and I’m trying out the shade 3 Tan, but I may need to try shade 4 Deep.
The bronzer that I just ran out of was the Bronzing Powder by NARS in
the color Casino.
5. Mascara
I’ve tried out several different mascara’s and this is the Better Than Sex Mascara by Too Faced is one of the best ones out on the market. It lengthens and delivers
full voluminous lashes with just one coat.
6. Lip Color
I always have to have something on my lips and have lipstick
even if it’s a clear lip gloss. Lately I’ve been wearing a lot of lipsticks and
glosses that make my lips feel moisturized. I’ve been wearing this Love Me Lipstick by MAC Cosmetics and I’m
obsessed. It’s an Argan oil-infused
lipstick that delivers an instant hit of powerful color and all-day
moisture. I wear the color Coffee and
Cigs.
For a more sheer look, then I love wearing the Addict Lip Glow Color Reviving Lip Balm by Dior. And I also just
noticed that they recently came out with the Addict Stellar Shine Collection just in time for summer. It
contains 4 iconic shades of this fabulous sheer and vibrant lipstick. This
would make a perfect gift for the holidays.
7. Setting Spray
And last but certainly not least is my absolute favorite All Nighter Long-Lasting Setting Spray by Urban Decay. This
spray helps to set my makeup and keep everything looking fresh for up to 16
hours. They also offer a travel size, which is great to carry with you in your purse/makeup
bag to freshen up if you need it.
Thank you Nordstrom for sponsoring this post! All thoughts and opinions are my own.
