Sun Kissed face time :)
Look #1 with the two Soft Touch eyeshadows My Sunny Side and Sunset Paradise, and the Soak up the Sun lipstick.
I did use a cream eyeshadow as base, and built up the colours quite a bit with another darker blue eyeshadow. No base on the lips though, just three swipes of the lipstick. A good MLBB summer colour.
The foundation looked blotchy at certain areas cause the new foundation I was testing out didn't agree with my brush of choice - EcoTools Face & Body Sculpting brush, which lead me to the second run below.
Look #2 with the lipstick and cheek tint with the same name - Hello Summer!.
The lipstick showed no colour on me, so I brought more colours to the lids using Essence 3D eyeshadows in Irresistible Chocolates and Irresistible Caramel Cream.
The Hello Summer! cheek tint had good colour payoff. I started out with the tiniest amount, made about 2-3 dots on each cheek and blended, finished it off with a setting powder to make the tint look more natural.
I liked the idea of jelly blushes but they stained my finger during application. Would they stain your brush too if you use one? I am testing out another jelly blush with a sponge applicator attached, we'll see how that works :)
See the tint after all blended out and set? Subtle and no crazy red.
About the foundation I mentioned, it was CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation SPF20, in my shade 957 Golden Tan.
Yes I heard everybody loved it, but I don't know if it is a summer foundation for me. It worked better with a denser foundation brush (I used Sigma F82 Round top kabuki brush in this look), and I need at least two coats to see some kind of coverage. Both things I don't want to do during hot summer days.
I have no complain about its staying power, so I'd say this is still a good foundation to have, but I'll save it for colder months or night time. Do you have better experience with this foundation?
