A 5 Product Summer Face

I'm a huge makeup junkie. We're all aware of that. But as soon as the temperatures climb into the 90s, I want as few things on my face as possible, while still remaining presentable. The fewer things to sweat off, right? So with some careful curating, I've narrowed down my every day products to just 5 items.

On the face, a lightweight base that provides coverage, sun protection, and skin care benefits. I'm currently crushing hard on bareMinerals new bareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation (I'm using shade 06 Bare Satin). This stuff is liquid gold. I've been waiting for ages for bareMinerals to release a liquid mineral foundation, and this is all I could ask for and more! A tone-correcting foundation and skincare serum in once, a little goes a long way. Two drops is all I need for the perfect amount of lightweight coverage. The finish is luminous and natural, and it feels like you're wearing nothing. Better yet, it has staying power, with or without primer. I might never use another foundation again.

Spackle on a bit of concealer under the eyes and on any redness (my nose is perpetually red. Why is this a thing?) and you've got a perfect, lightweight base.

For all that I've got enough hair on my head for 4 people, I was blessed with the wispiest eyebrows on earth. So filling them in is an absolute must. My product of choice is currently Anastasia New York's Dip Brow pomade. At first I wasn't sold on it, but now that I've mastered the process (i.e. my eyebrows no longer look like I drew them on with permanent marker), I am absolutely in love. This stuff doesn't budge for anything.
Follow this up with bronzer (or some combination of bronzer and blush, depending on what I'm going for). I'm loving this Rimmel bronzer, both because it's waterproof, and it closely mimics the color of my skin as I tan. This is a bonus, since sometimes I get a little too much sun. Despite wearing SPF. Oops.

A curl of the lashes and a few swipes of waterproof mascara followed by a bright lip (obviously) to finish up the look, and you're good to go. And all in about 6 minutes!
