Hi beauties, I am back with a summer makeup essentials that I think is really useful for me which I would like to share with all of you.

First of all, in the summer time or in countries like Singapore where it is consistently hot and becoming even hotter in these few months, our makeup tends to not last as long or even melt down. So here are some products and steps which I like to use to help prevent makeup melt down.

1. Prime your face before putting on any makeup
I do not have any particular preference for primer as I think most of them work the same for me. However, if you are someone with really dry skin, skip this step or get a really hydrating primer. In the summer time, I do prefer using primer that will give a more dewy finish to my skin.

2. BB cream instead of foundation
Personally I would prefer lighter base makeup in the hotter months and thus BB cream instead of foundation. Having lighter makeup also allows your skin to breath and reduce breakout which often happen to teens in the hot summer weather.
The one that I am loving is the Water Fuse Blemish Base by Dr. Jart+. It have SPF 27 pa++ which is always a plus, it is dewy and makes my skin look extremely healthy and glowy. The best thing about this is that it helps me to control the oil on my face and keeps my makeup in place for a good 6 to 8 hours which a temperature of 39-42 degrees Celsius. I would seriously highly recommend this product if you have not tried this if you are able to get your hands on it.

3. Bronzer
A bronzed skin will makes you look a lot healthier and summer ready. It is one of the few things that will make a huge difference in your makeup without even you realizing it.
My current favorite bronzer of the moment is the Bourjois bronzing powder. It just adds the right amount of color without being too muddy or orange, it also have a little tiny bit of glitter which is not really noticeable but will just makes your skin look a lot more healthy and radiant. It gives just the perfect sun kissed look that i extremely adore right now. You can get this on ASOS singapore, however, I do not see it in stores so I am thinking that you can only get this online which I did get mine online.

4.Bright colored blush
A brighter colored blush just screams summer. Summer is all about having colors and fun, nothing beats having a pop of color on your cheeks and make you look really dolly.
My current fave is from Essence and it is their silky touch blush in 60 life's a cherry. Its a bright pink blush that is so pigmented that you will only need a tap with our blush in the product to get enough product all over your cheeks. This product is super long lasting as it does stain your cheeks but no worries it can be removed by makeup removal. The best thing about this blush is that you can get it from Watsons for $5.90 SGD which is insanely cheap. For that price, I seriously think that this blush is a win.

4. Cream eye shadows.
One thing about eye shadows that I do not enjoy in the summer is that when I sweat, my eye shadow tends to melt off my eyelids. Not only it is not pretty, it is also a pain to my eye. And the solution to this is cream eye shadow.
This is Maybelline Color tattoo in Inked in Pink. The color is extremely gorgeous, it is smooth and easy to apply. The best thing is that this stays put on my eyelid regardless of how much I sweat. It does not crease on me and it really stays till the end of the day when I remove my makeup at night. The more this can be easily found anywhere and also it comes with 8 different shades for you to choose from.
