The summers are officially here and for us girls, it means one thing and one thing only – you’ve got to get away from your winter makeup looks and transition into the ultimate summer flower-children. Especially with all the heat and intense summer sun in Pakistan.
Here are 13 summer makeup products that I’ve started using religiously for these long summer days that won’t melt away like an ice-cream.
1. Revolution Ultimate Blush & Light & Contour Palette
Price: Rs 2600/-
This is one legit palette with a delicious summery blend of 8 highlights, 16 blushes and 8 contour shades.
2. Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
Price: Rs 1050/-
Maybelline have come out with their best mascara since my favorite colossal one. The brush makes every application clump free and smooth too.
3. Colourpop Candyman Highlighter
Price: Rs 1300/-
This metallic rich highlighter exudes a summer gold kinda look. This was the first time I was trying a Colourpop product that isn’t a lipstick, and I was pleasantly surprised by the results. It’s buttery, supple and complements all skin tones, fantastically.
4. Kylie Koko Lip Collection
Price: Rs 6200/-
A pack of four, these yummy matte liquid lipsticks created by Koko a.k.a. Khloe are the only lippies you need this summer. Alternating between these four are plenty.
5. Nars Audacious Angela Lipstick
Price: Rs 35oo to 4500/- aprox.
This bright candyfloss pink lipstick is a handy one to keep in your bag at all times. It’s bright, bold and oozes c’est la vie!
6. Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
Should be available at your local beauty store that stocks imported products.
Price: Rs 1199/-
This is one foundation I live by. It doesn’t fully cover your face, but for someone who likes to keep her makeup as natural as possible, this is the perfect foundation. It doesn’t give you a caked and baked look, and it leaves your skin fresh and breathable for hours on end.
7. NYC Diamond Dust Sparkle Eye Dust
Price: Rs 553/-
This product is a MUST. It’s on sale too and you can grab a few more colours to create the perfect sparkling blend.
8. Maybelline Babyskin Primer
Should be available at your local beauty store that stocks imported products.
Price: Rs 1500 – 1700/- aprox.
9. NYX Cosmetics Liquid Eye Liner
Price: Rs 540/-
10. NARS Unfiltered II Cheek Palette
Price: Rs 8900/-
11. Paris Amour Diamond Shimmer Mist
Price: Rs 1200-1500/- aprox.
I got mine from Al Fatah in Lahore but should be available at your local beauty stores that stock imported products.
This is something I honestly cannot live without. Just a few sprays on my neckline and I’m glittering all day.
The shimmer mist is subtle, and exudes sexiness! I like to dab some on my wrists too. The body wash is also worth the investment.
12. Benefit Totally b.right Skincare Set
Price: Rs 4000/-
This six piece skincare set is a godsend. Benefit have really upped their game with their face products as of late, and these six lil dollops of heaven are a must this summer!
13. Tarte Tarteist Eye And Cheek Palette
Price: Rs 3800/-
These subtle shades are perfect for a little variety everyday. They’re very soft to the touch, and even a little is ample for application.
