Hi beauties! Today I want to share with you my simple tricks for perfect summer makeup & hair. No one likes runny makeup & humid hair during the summer. These are convenient when going to the pool or beach, or simply soaking up the sun. Continue reading for a few tips on a flawless summer look! 

1. Primer, setting spray & powder

These products are your best friends this summer. Without it, say goodbye to all your makeup in a matter of minutes. A little tip: continue applying translucent powder throughout the day. This will eliminate the shiny, caked up mess created by humidity, sweat & sun, and create a huge difference.

2. BB Cream

A BB cream is simply a light foundation. You can also use tinted moisturizer. However, I am a bigger fan of the BB cream. My personal favorite is the Garnier BB Cream which now comes with an oil-free line. It is a sheer foundation with high SPF, found in drugstores. Perfect for summer!

3. Skincare

Heat will open up your pores, making it very easy for pimples to break out. If you do not continuously wash your face, and take your makeup off every night, you will have a problem. Skin care is way more important during summer, so keep up a routine!

4. SPF+ Moisturizer

Moisturize your face with a high SPF moisturizer. If you care for your skin, don't apply tanning oil on your face. Trust me, it will not help your skin in the long run. Any dermatologist will tell you, apply a high SPF moisturizer for your face and apply frequently if you are in the sun. It is even recommended to apply SPF on the rest of your skin, as well.

5. Waterproof

Try using waterproof makeup for the summer. This will help your makeup from melting off or rubbing away. That way you can also wear makeup to the pool or beach without worries!

6. No heat for hair

Put the flat iron down. It will frizz up & damage your hair regardless. Simply use a mousse or curly/wavy hair products to get rid of frizz, a serum or oil and hairspray. For an even simpler look, try a high bun, braids or ponytail!

7. Keep it simple

Keep your makeup use to a low. A little goes a long way in the summer: BB cream, blush, mascara & gloss should be enough. You don't want to look caked up & shiny. Anything more will run down your face during the day!

Hope these tips helped you prepare for this summers makeup & hair looks, girls! Remember, it's all about keeping it natural. I would love to hear your tips & tricks for this summer's looks. Have a fabulous rest of your summer & happy 4th of July!

Let's face it, no one is perfect.. we have all been there & done that.

In this post, i'll show you my tips & tricks to cover up blemishes, breakouts, and dark spots. Let's begin!

Rule #1: Match your foundation

If you want your blemish to be perfectly concealed, use a concealer in the exact shade of your foundation. If you are not using foundation, make sure it simply matches your skin tone.

If the shade is a tad darker or lighter, it will not match and stand out rather than conceal.

I find the L'oreal True Match Concealer - $8.99 works best for me as it hides and conceals blemishes without caking or smudging and fading.

I sometimes find the foundation in the True Match line is enough to conceal my blemishes, without the use of concealer. L'oreal True Match Super Blendable Makeup - $10.95

Rule #2: Precision

I realize that when applying concealer around the blemish, I get worse results. Apply the concealer precisely on top of the exact location of the blemish and tap lightly to blend it inward, rather than around. You can do this using your fingers, or a concealer brush.

Rule #3: Tap, don't rub

Make sure you slightly and carefully tap the concealer onto the blemish. You don't want to conceal the area around the blemish, only the blemish itself. Tapping also results in better concealing, as rubbing will cause it to fade into the skin.

Rule #4: Foundation, then concealer

Apply (liquid) foundation first, then move on to the concealer.

If you were to apply concealer first, the foundation will fade away the concealer which will cause a cakey mess.

You want to apply your foundation first, to create a smooth canvas, and only then conceal the blemishes.

Rule #5: Set with powder

Once you apply your foundation and concealer, let the liquid set for a little while, and then move on to set it with powder. This way it will stay put all day. It is important to set by tapping the powder onto your face, rather than sweeping it across your face, moving the liquid around. Otherwise, this will cause, well, another cakey mess.

I hope these few rules helped you girls to conceal your blemishes and breakouts! Continues washing your face routinely to keep those guys away.

Hi girlsss, I wanted to emphasize how important skincare is, because makeup application looks 50x better when you apply it on clean moisturized skin!

So, keep in mind that everyone's skin reacts differently to different products, some have it worse than others. But, we should all take care of our skin as best as we can!

I'll share with you my daily skincare routine, like I said before I have combination skin but I use products for oily skin!

First I obviously wash my face in the morning, and then I apply my cleanser (I prefer Neutrogena or Clean & Clear for skincare - again, I use products for oily skin). The mistake most people make is that they apply the cleanser and wait a few seconds, then rinse it off. You're supposed to massage the cleanser into your skin for about a minute or as long as you feel needed, and then rinse it off! The reason you pat dry slightly, is so that you leave some moisture in your skin after cleansing.

After this, I apply my dark spot corrector and a moisturizer, I make sure my moisturizer has a lot of vitamins and SPF to protect my skin from the sun.

The amount of times you exfoliate depends on your skin, my skin is a bit sensitive so I exfoliate about once to twice a week at most. If you have dry skin, you should try exfoliating more often.

I also apply a mask about once a week, and I use a nose strip (for blackheads) about once to twice a week.

At night, I remove all my makeup (SO important) - I used to rarely take off my makeup at night, you'll see a difference once you start taking care of your skin. Then, I apply the same cleanser I use in the morning, and then a nightly moisturizer.

I think that's it for my skincare routine, if there's more I'll update it!!

Take care of your skin every day, guys!
