Makeup: Picks of the Month

Summer Series: August
We all want that flawless, smudge proof summer look, but how exactly do we get our makeup to STAY PUT for the entire day or an evening out on the town? I have a list of products I love to use during the summer months when my skin tends to get more oily than usual. Here is how to achieve it!

The List:

Skin
-Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreen Spray Lotion SPF 15
there is nothing I like better than great smelling sun protection; goes on smoothly just like your daily body lotion with a faint smell of coconut 
-Neutrogena Rapid Clear Cleansing Pads
a wonderful replacement for toner in a bottle, use before bed to cleanse and improve the look of acne prone skin 

Hair
-Schwarzkopf's Dust It Mattifying Powder
this amazing powder works as a dry shampoo as well as a volumizing hairspray; great for adding texture to your hair during the day or for staying put during a night out

Makeup
-Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
a must have for the summer months; skin gets more oily and this product acts as an adhesive for a smudge proof shadow look 
-Benefit's Boiing Industrial Strength Concealer in 01 
a great stay-put concealer with maximum coverage 
-Benefit's Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit
this shadow is the best creaseless shadow I have come by, it is such a wonderful neutral color and acts as a great base or eyeshadow primer 

Tips:
-remember to always finish your makeup application with a light powder or finishing spray to make sure that everything stays in place for that non-budge smudge-proof look
