What is your summer makeup routine?

Full face of makeup or barely anything at all?

Here's the makeup that I prefer to wear in the summer:

• moisturizer with SPF 30
• concealer for spot coverage
• light application of a translucent matte oil-control powder
• bronzer on cheeks instead of blush
• waterproof mascara
• lip stain in a bright summery color

Sometimes I'll put on a little more if I'm going out, but I've found that I look pretty awful with a full face of makeup during the hotter months.

What makeup do you use during the summer and why?

I spend all day in an overly air conditioned office so my routine doesn't change me. I do wear lesse eyeliner, I think. I can't go without eye shadow, I'm not sure why....I feel like it pulls my look together for work. 

I try to get away without wearing makeup at all. I suffer from insane oily skin so the less the better. If i do wear makeup, i wear waterproof formulas, so my makeup at least stands a chance against my oily skin.

my skin care needs change though, i do a lot more masks and scrubs in the summer time.

My routine doesn't change in the summer. But I have recently discovered a couple products that have made my life MUCH easier and are great for summer, IMO, for my combo skin. MISSHA PERFECT COVER BB CREAM PAULA'S CHOICE SHINE STOPPER Together these two products are phenomenal and give me great looking "skin." /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I add a primer in the summer so my face doesn't melt off, haha!

I live in Arizona, so my summer routine doesn't change up MUCH, except that I tend to go with less eye makeup (like pretty much only liner and mascara) and don't wear my contacts (sweat, ya know).
