How To...Look Great In The Summer! | Paigeypumpkin

Hey everyone!

So I was noticing how the weather has started to heat up a bit so I thought it was about time I wrote this post! In summer I often see people with make up basically melting off of peoples faces & looking very bothered about it so I thought I would share my tips with you lovely lot!


1. Keeping Shine Under Control!

So I'm pretty sure everyone must have had a time in the heat (even if it was years ago) in which your face was so shiny that it could almost reflect! I ALWAYS use a powder to keep my face from being a massive shine-ball whether its loose powder or not!

Two of my favourites are Rimmel Stay Matte as it keeps you looking matte all day (I have normal to dry skin but I have seen many reviews from people with oily skin saying it worked for them!) and the Collection 2000 (or "Collection" as it is now known) Sheer Loose Powder works really well for me and it feel really light and last for a long time!


2. SPF

I think this is pretty obvious but looking like a tomato isn't really a good luck and not using SPF is really bad for your skin!

Luckily most foundations/BB Creams have some type of SPF in! Also sun cream is an ESSENTIAL! My favourite sun cream is the Piz Buin "1 Day Long" sun cream as topping up sun cream a number of times a day can get very boring and tedious and sometimes you forget (then you turn into an almost ripe tomato). 






3. Prime Makes Perfection 
Primer doesn't always make "perfection" but it helps a lot! It helps to make your make up stay put longer which is something your aiming for in all weather but paticularly in summer when you can easily sweat it off!

My Top 2 Primers are the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer which I recently tried as I had a sample and it is A M A Z I N G and also the Benefit Porefessional which I think I have talked about a lot in my videos!


4. Waterproof 
Even if you aren't going to be swimming you will most likely be sweating (a bit gross but I thought I would be honest) I have heard a lot of people say how there mascara smudges a lot so I thought I would pick only one this time!

So the first one is my Benefit "They're Real" Mascara which isn't actually waterproof but everyone (including my self) basically says it is. I have also reviewed this mascara which you can see here.






5. BB/CC Creams
BB creams came across by storm last year with pretty much everyone in the beauty community talking about them. This year CC (colour correcting) creams are set to be the next big thing. 
I have yet to try a CC cream but I thought I would show you my top two BB creams! Going back to the whole SPF thing they are both PERFECT for summer as they are both SPF 30!



6. Water sprays!
I get really overheated in the summer especially whilst during PE or just exercising at home and just a quick spray of this makes me cool down so much quicker!


7. Skincare
Taking care of  my skin in the warmer months is something I really try to keep up with, but if I'm honest I forget to do it or I am way too lazy to take care of my skin. My favourite skin care items this season have been the Benefit "Triple Performing" Facial Emulsion, it makes my face sooooooooooooooo soft! Ad I've also been loving the Soap& Glory "Smoothie Star" Body Milk!



*sorry for using all stock photos but I thought it looked clearer than the images I took myself*

Okay guys so these were my tips for how to look great in the summer!

Do you have any tips?
