Do You Have a Summer Makeup Look? Fun Products By Laura Mercier, Lipstick Queen, butter LONDON, Mehron and Ellis Faas

It’s just about summertime!  Today it was over 80 degrees in Kansas City.  Which is awesome and has me thinking of easy, bright looks for the season.

I was sent the following products for my honest review.  I have found some great summer makeup and I hope you will get ideas from these awesome picks!

Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer
Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer

Laura Mercier High Coverage Concealer ($28 USD) — This unique 3-in-1 concealer was designed to cover, de-puff and brighten under eye circles. The highly pigmented formula builds and blends flawlessly for professional makeup artist result and lasts all day. The concealer was formulated with honey, vitamin E and fruit acid to nourish and smooth skin, and comes in 12 shades, so you can find your perfect match.

What I think:  This cream concealer is perfect for summer as it really does last all day.  A little goes a long way (this is comparable to IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye).  It is very creamy and blends in well, while keeping skin soft all day.  It is full-coverage.

Lipstick Queen Oxymoron in Open Secret
Lipstick Queen Oxymoron in Open Secret

Lipstick Queen Oxymoron in Open Secret ($24 USD) — In a beautifully bright and romantically rosy hue, Open Secret bestows lips and cheeks with a bloom of fresh, flattering and ultra-wearable peony.

What I think:  This is a perfect spring and summer shade.  It is a bright, flattering shade and I like the matte finish.  I like it best on cheeks.  It is a little dry for my lips, but looks pretty with a sheer lip gloss over it.

Available at Lipstickqueen.com, Space NK and Ulta stores nationwide

Butter LONDON WINK Cream Eyeshadow ($18 USD) — The Brilliant Bronze Collection will keep any look sun-kissed and glowing with exceptional textures and gorgeous colour year round. The collection offers two new shades of butter LONDON’s WINK Cream Eyeshadow in Randy and Brassed Off.

What I think:  Both shades are so perfect for summer.  Shimmery and neutral, and so pretty.  They also last a long time once they dry.

What I think:  I don’t know how to apply theatre makeup, but I have to say I love this powder!  I have it in gold, and mixed with the liquid it makes an extremely long lasting shadow.  Perfect for hot summer days.  I think it will also be fun to use for Halloween or the holidays to make festive looks.  Easy to mix and apply.

Ready To Tan? — Do It Safely With Self-Tanner, and Protect Your Skin With SPF

I am a huge advocate of using sunscreen all year round, but especially during the warm seasons when I go outside more than usual.

But, I also love not being pasty white in the summer!  So I have not only intensified my sunscreen efforts, I have began self-tanning.  I never get super dark, but I do like a bit of a glow.

Below are products to help get ready for the sun — and to help you look like you’ve been soaking up the rays!

Fake Bake Fair
Fake Bake Fair

Fake Bake Fair ($25.95 USD) — As summer approaches. Fake Bake’s Fair is Fake Bake’s build-your-own self-tanner that is as easy to apply as any moisturizer and smells amazing! There is no better way to give your skin a light, golden, natural glow! Fair is wonderful on even the palest of skin tones and builds gradually so the effect is easy to control. It also has Fake Bake’s signature guide color so you can see exactly where it¹s going as you apply it.

What I think:  If you want to get a gradual, natural looking tan, this product is for you!  I love the guide color, it makes it easy to see where you have and have not applied the products yet.  And it smells nice, which is important if you decide to apply it every day.

Fair is available at leading salons nationwide.

Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Self Tan Mousse
Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Self Tan Mousse

Vita Liberata pHenomenal 2-3 Week Self Tan Mousse – Dark ($54 USD) — This must-have Tan Lotion gives instant, flawless color and develops into the longest lasting, ultrahydrating tan. It is formulated with revolutionary pHenO2 technology to guarantee the longest lasting tan in the world (up to four times longer than regular tans) with a completely perfect, natural fade. The lotion formula is packed with organic botanicals and is so moisturizing, it can be used on the face as well as the body. It contains unique Moisture Lock™ technology for silky-soft and super hydrated skin that lasts for 72 hours. Odour Remove™ promises zero smell for the most natural tanning experience.

What I think — This comes in Fair, Medium, and Dark.  I like using the Medium.  This is very easy to apply.  Just squirt the mousse onto a tanning mitt or gloves, and rub in.  Really fast!  It does last longer than a long time without fading, which I love. It smells pretty good, but there is a faint smell to it.

Available at http://www.vitaliberata.com, http://www.sephora.com and http://www.qvc.com.

Jane Iredale Powder-Me
Jane Iredale Powder-Me

What I think:  This sunscreen is easy to apply with the built-in applicator.  I have it in the Translucent, which is good to use on the face, body and hair.  I think the other two would be fun to try in the summer, especially in cute summer outfits!
