Fridays Face | Summertime Glow

 Happy Friday lovelies. I love when I have time to sit down and really enjoy putting on my makeup.

Summer is all about glowy, youthful sunkissed skin. I'm all about luminosity but being an uber oily skinned girl this can be rather tricky without looking like a hot mess! I opted for my all time favourite Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation (full review here) for coverage and staying power, I mixed a small amount with a pump of Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer (full review here) which gives the most gorgeous, non greasy glow. The combination is simply divine! I applied with a damp beauty blender for the lightest application.Cheeks were dusted over lightly with Bareminerals ready blush in Aphrodite which is very similar to Benefit Coralista.I think peachy shades are a must of summer.

 For eyes I am still obsessed with the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. I find the shades so flattering to my skintone and eye colour. I'm enjoying sporting an all over lid shade at the moment and these metallic tones really enhance glowing skin.I used my bronzer as a transition colour and Suspect all over the lid and lower lashline. I lined my eyes with Soap&Glory Supercat liquid liner in black. 

What summer makeup look are you enjoying? 

Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer

Ok so I've mentioned this little gem briefly in my Christmas/Sephora haul, but I think this magical bottle of champagne-y sheen deserves a post all of its own. What is it? Josie Maran Argan Illuminizer is a glow giving, multi tasking 100% pure argan oil that rejuvenates and replenishes skin. It has a touch of bronze to subtly warm up any skin tone and a pinch of glimmer that is so subtle it makes skin attract the light for a diffused, radiant all over glow. It can be used to highlight tops of cheekbones, wake up tired eyes when used on the lids or my favourite, mixed in with a tinted moisturiser or foundation. If you have dull, tired skin or are looking a bit worse for wear, this will transform your face in seconds! You will look like you have had your full 8hrs of sleep and then some!

Its fragrance free, paraben free and sulphate free. I am so impressed with this product and the brand philosophy that I can't wait to try out more from Josie Maran.

Thank you for reading and taking the time to leave me comments, I enjoy reading all of them.
