Spring Makeup Routine

I am pumped for warmer weather and not freezing my toes off every time I step outside. In this week’s video I share my current go-to base routine that is sure to get me through the rest of the season. I love it so much because it features all the elements that are important to me in a base routine.

Sun Protection
Daily SPF isn’t the sexiest of beauty routine steps, but it’s arguably the most necessary. Consider it insurance for your skin! It’s the number one preventative thing we can all do to slow down our skin’s aging process and protect against skin cancer. I’ve recently partnered with Shiseido to promote their Urban Environment Oil Free SPF 42 sunscreen which is an excellent option for those of us with oily combination skin. It controls oil production without being dry or cakey and looks beautiful under makeup.

Longevity
A foundation that wears well is a top priority for me, especially as the weather is warmer. Dior Face & Body Foundation has been a tried and true favorite for over 2 year now. I wear shade 2WO in the summer and mix with shade 1N in colder months. It has a light to medium coverage, thin fluid consistency and stays put all day.

Finish
I am embracing glowy skin a bit more this season so Auric Glow Lust has been on heavy rotation. It’s the perfect luminizing product for me. It makes my skin look fresh and glowy without accentuating pores or texture, and can be used multiple ways: mixed in with foundation, on its own as a primer, on top of foundation on cheekbones as a highlighter. My prefered method of application has been blending it into my Dior foundation.
