Makeup Medley #20.

How did a new month come around so quickly? I think I start every ‘makeup medley’ post with that opening line, come to think of it. Anyway, my monthly makeup edit definitely has a summery feel to it, as I opt for lighter bases, bronzed cheeks and laid back lips…

I didn’t expect to like the Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions BB Cream (£23.50), although I do always appreciate a Clinique base as they’re usually pretty awesome, it’s just that a BB cream aimed at blemish-prone skin just didn’t seem to be up my street. As it turns out, this has a pretty dreamy formula – a lightweight, all-concealing formula that tones down redness and really works to improve the condition of the skin. I keep it for lazy days, and it’s a safe option for happy skin.

I’m shaking up my lip and cheek options this month, as I’ve found two beautiful picks – first up is the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in Powder Pink (£19), a shade that looks quite boring in the pan, but absolutely flawless on the lips and cheeks. I love the Pot Rouge’s, the formula is so dewy and perfecting on the skin, and each pot works equally as good on the lips as it does on the cheeks.
The other hue that has caught my eye is the new Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess All Over Illuminator, a shimmery stick that melts in to the cheeks for a fresh flush of colour. I love the chic nude/pink shade with the flecks of gold shimmer, it’s just the thing for enhancing summer skin!

You’ve probably noticed I’m pretty typical with my eye looks, and right now I’m back to an old favourite – Burberry Eyeshadow in Pale Barley (£23), easily my favourite eyeshadow shade ever. This cool, flattering taupe is such an effortless ‘sweep on and go’ shade, I think it should be an essential in every girl’s stash!
I’ve been finishing off my makeup look with the L’Oreal False Lash Superstar Mascara (£10.99), I never thought I would be using a double-ended mascara in 2015, but there you have it. This is surprisingly good for lengthening and thickening up the lashes, especially after curling them with lash curlers. Yay for budget mascaras!

What’s in your makeup bag this month?
