Bronzed Goddess Essentials

Can you believe it? It's summer! I'm not usually one to get excited for summer because of allergies, insects and exorbitant sweating but this year I really feel these summer vibes everyone is always talking about. Maybe that's due to the fact that I finally have a summer vacation booked and am counting down the days until I lie on the beach. But until then, where I plan on not wearing make up at all, I love to go all in with all the bronzy summer goodness.

I believe that I am one of the palest human beings that wanders this earth and that's why fake tan and bronzer are my best friends. Applying bronzer always makes me feel ten times better because it adds life and warmth to my face. I have been asbolutely loving the L'Oreal Glam Bronze Powder for quite a while now. It has a super creamy consistency and blends extremely well on foundation and bare skin as well.

Because I have oily skin and in the summer even more so, my face tends to be shiny and glowy all by itself (but mostly not in the areas I want it to). So I usually go for a more subtle and natural highlight in the warmer months. The Mac Cream Color Base in Hush is my absolute favourite highlight at the moment. It gives you the perfect summer glow without being obvious and sliding off your face.

NARS Isolde Eyeshadow Duo, I think, will forever be my favourite eyeshadow. I have been using this for years now and I still can't get enough of it. This is gourgeous for winter as well as for summer and adds perfectly to the bronzed goddess look I am all about in summer. You can easily create a dramatic smokey eye with this but I usually just blend it all over my lid and my lower lashline and call it a day. After all it's summer.

A newer edition to my collection is this KIKO 3D Hydra Gloss in the shade 18 golden sparkle. My lips get super chapped in the summer months because of all the dry heat and this is perfect for keeping my lips hydrated while also making them look good at the same time. It looks beautiful over a nude brown lipstick as well as on it's own and I will defenietly take this with me on holiday.
