It is never to late for some summer favorites, even if July is over soon.
In the summer I take all my makeup products with shimmer and bright colors out. Late spring, summer and start autumn are the only time a year that my shimmer blushes get to see the light.
Like I said I don't like blushes with shimmer all year round. I have some blushes that I only use during the summer time.
The same with lipstick, all of the bright colors I only wear in the summer time. I love orange, red and pink on my lips during the summer and that you will see in the picture.
I don't want to have that much makeup on in the summer time so for base I will go for a BB cream. My current favorite is the Bigger Than BB Big Easy BB cream from Benefit. What I like about this BB cream is that is drys to a powder feeling on the skin.
For the eyes I have three MAC eyeshadow I go fore the most. One of the colors are a summer color. The color is Paradisco and are a beautiful pinky-coral color with hint of pearl. I used this color on its own. The two others are colors that can be used all year round. Naked Lunch and Sable are colors that you will find in any MAC eyeshadow lovers collection.

If I could choose I would use these colors all year round. These colors describes me in person, I would definitely choose these colors over any other color.
Hope you all are enjoying the summer so far!
