Throughout my 10 years of beauty blogging, I’ve been prone to being slow off mark when it comes to trying out new makeup releases. It has to be something exciting for me to rush out and buy it or something that’s missing in my makeup routine.
So when Glossier launched their new Solar Paint bronzer creme I surprised myself by ordering it within a day of spotting it online. This is because I’ve simply never seen a bronzer with such a precise applicator before (I’m sure they exist somewhere) and I’m currently missing a lightweight liquid bronzer in my everyday routine.
I’m also a fan of any beauty brand that caters to fair skin and when I saw the lightest shade ‘flare’ I knew it was for me.
For the past few months I have been using a huge array of beauty products that have been perfect for summer. These include both high and low priced products from an interesting mousse SPF for the face to a berry flavoured lip scrub and even a roll-on eye shimmer that works amazingly well.
Blog posts like these remind me of favourites posts that I use to write many years ago. So I've excited to share with you my current summer favourites today that could be useful if you have a holiday planned or to simply used beyond the summer months. I hope you find a few new products to try out here!
After packing for a little break away with my boyfriend is still fresh in my mind and it is summer, after all, I thought I share with you the beauty products seriously worth picking up to pack for your next vacation and enjoy using the rest of the time!
Below, you will find travel size products that not only save space in an overnight bag or suitcase but also work well as products in your makeup bag in their own right. From miniature versions of some cult classics to some seriously lust-worthy palettes for both home and away use.
Call it the UK heatwave or the fact I've been in a bit of a slump lately, but for the past two months I have probably worn the least amount of makeup since my teenage years.
Not only has this taught me to be more comfortable in my own skin, but my skin has felt better for it and on the days I do want to wear makeup I've found myself reaching for much fewer products with lighter textures and an overall fresher feel.
Below I think there are an interesting mix of beauty products that while having a juxtaposition about them actually work well together - think a low-maintenance high end look!
When summer hits I find I'm an all or nothing kinda' gal; bare-faced (i.e my 5-minute makeup routine) or seeking out bold pigmented makeup that glows in the sun. While bold coral makeup may seem daunting to some it suits all skin tones, looking fresh and summer suitable every time.
Below I have five fairly new coral makeup products perfect for summer that I hope you love just as much as I do!
Huda Beauty Coral Obsessions Palette
£25.00 Cult Beauty HERE
While Huda Beauty palettes are normally supersized the Obsessions range packs 3x3 ultra pigmented eyeshadows into something much more compact and travel-friendly. Although I'm fairly late to the game when it comes to Huda I'm currently obsessed with the Coral Obsessions palette, a slimeline edit of orange, red and yellow-hues to create the prettiest summer eye looks with. Easy to work with the seven matte shades do not disappoint, offering rich pigmentation and the ability to blend with little effort. However for me the stars of the show that really transform any look as the two shimmers to the palette that gives a foil-like finish and feel beyond buttery, both coral shades also have beautiful undertones to them!
For me, this truly is my new go-to palette for summer, whether it's for a wash of matte coral over my lids or something much more dramatic. I can't see how anyone that would be disappointed with this beauty!
Laura Geller Baked Gelato Vivid Swirl Blush in Papaya
From £.7.20 via eBay HERE
Described as a "vibrant coral" this stunning powder blush compact has just made its way into my summer makeup bag. Think a brightening pinky coral that lifts any makeup look, however, a light hand is required as it does pack some punch. It also offers a light sheen which is perfect for placing higher up on the cheeks to give a flush of colour with a slight radiant glow. This is a blusher made for summer evenings.
Benefit GALifornia Blusher
£25.50 from Feel Unique HERE
Another stunning blusher I couldn't not include and have raved about many times on Makeup Savvy is GALifornia which is a beautiful golden pinky coral shade. This is a makeup product that goes back into my makeup as soon as Spring hits so for a while now I'm been loving it again. From the packaging to the mini brush, the texture and even the vanilla scent I can't get enough of this summer-perfect blush. Oh, and it works amazingly well on the eyes too!
Glossier Cloud Paint Cream Brush in Beam
£15 from Glossier UK HERE
For lighter makeup days only weightless liquid formulas will do, and so Glossier Cloud Paint is often reached for on lazy summer days as it's the lightest flush of colour you can imagine. Patted and lightly blending into the skin this coral-peach watercolour-like blush is effortless and natural but can also be built up - it's up to you and the makeup you are going for. This is also a good option for longer makeup days as I find it stays put, looking fresh even when you aren't!
Can you tell I love a coral blush come this time of year?!
Hourglass Confession Ultra Slim High-Intensity Refillable Lipstick in 'No One Knows'
£28.00 from Cult Beauty HERE
With Hourglass just launching on Cult Beauty (my favourite place for more premium makeup!) I thought I'd share with you stunning warm coral lipstick in a cream finish from the beautiful Confession range! With such a price tag you know I expect quite a lot from a product and this certainly delivers on both quality (that sleek gold applicator!) and wearability, looking stunning on the lips and lasting well. On fair skin tones, 'No One Knows' is a wearable pigmented coral nude, going more coral in tone for the darker your skin, just gorgeous. It's also good to know that the refills can be picked up for £18.00! A very special feeling lipstick here.
Let me know your favourite coral makeup picks here and your own if you love summer coral makeup products just as much as I do!
Fee xo.
Come even a hint of sunshine I'm all about a flattering sweep of colour on my cheeks. The right shade of blush can instantly pick up a complexion while also soften the face in my opinion.
