Article content Natural makeup doesn't mean sacrificing all elements of glam. Even subtle touches like shimmer on the eyelids or a classic eyeliner can turn heads. A soft touch of rose-pink on the lips with a complimentary rosy pink blush creates a harmonious, polished and effortless effect that proves less truly is more. Article content Article content Article content I love a transparent foundation for the summer season that allows the complexion to naturally glow. A great option is MAC Studio Radiance Face and Body Radiant Sheer Foundation. This ultralight, waterproof foundation provides a sheer yet buildable veil of coverage with a natural glow. Article content Article content Eyes Article content To dress the eyes, I contoured them with a soft-brown eyeshadow then lined the eye with Essence 24Ever Ink Liner in black. It's a silky deep-black liner that dries matte and lasts up to 24 hours. I love the applicator tip and how easy it is to use. I finished the eye look with a coat of mascara. Article content Article content Blush and Lips Article content I never skip bronzer. Here I'm using NARS Laguna. I also never skip blush — it's a makeup staple this season for creating a pretty flushed effect. I started with a powder blush, NARS Orgasm Edge. I layered that blush with Essence Baby Got Blush in Rosé All Day. I matched my blush colour with my lip by selecting a similar shade for each. I lined my lips with the cult-classic MAC Spice Lip Pencil and layered it with a baby pink lip colour by Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Promise (#668).
