Spring/Summer Makeup (dry skin friendly)

I am not a professional MUA, but thanks to my lovelies on the YT, I have learned a thing or two!! Lets face it, I have learned a whole lot!!

My routine for the warmers seasons really doesn't change much from when its cold. The reason for this is my skin type. I have extremely dry skin that can become flaky!! The same radiance that most people like to have when it is warm is what I also go for when it is cool.


The picture below is from when it was cooler this year (back on October or November). If I can recall, I know I  used my Maybelline BB Cream and my M.A.C. msf in deep dark (or dark deep)...I did my brows (not really because most of what you see are my natural brows), contoured a little (CoverGirl Queen bronzer-Ebony bronze) and highlighted a little (Black Radiance highlighter) and made up a wonderful lip with two lipsticks and a lip gloss!!

Now this next picture is a more recent picture and the whether is warmer. Everything is pretty much the same, except the BB Cream part because I did not use it!! I did use the orange corrector from my MAC Studio Finish pro palette (the one with the four studio finish concealers and two color correctors) under my eyes and around my mouth to cancel out the dark circles. Then I used my LA Girl pro concealers in Toast and Fawn to conceal (toast around my mouth and fawn under my eyes)...then I set my face with my MAC msf in deep dark. The lip color is almost neutral which is what I tend to go for anyway!! I used the same contour and highlighting items as above. O yeah, the blush I used in both pictures happens to be my favorite blush called SIENNA by La Femme!!

*If anybody would like to know specifics that I may not have mentioned (hairstyles, lip colors, etc.) please do not be afraid to comment and ask!! Thanks!!
