Summer is just a few days away so I wanted to share a budget friendly, quick, easy and flawless makeup look! For whatever reason whenever Summer starts to kick down our doors I want to spend less and less time getting ready and more time out enjoying these gorgeous days! I want to be able to get a flawless finish that won’t melt away and have it be just a couple products so that it’s not taking forever!
A good base is a must for any Summer look, so after I’ve applied my skincare I will go with L’Oreal’s Magic Lumi Brightening Primer. This primer will not only get our face ready and help our makeup stay put but brighten us up and give us that sort of fresh faced and dewy natural look. I’ll swap out my regular liquid foundation and go with this Maybelline BB Cream which applies similarly to a tinted moisturizer and is super lightweight for the season. If I don’t absolutely need it, I will skip a heavy concealer and opt for this Dream Lumi Highlighting concealer for my highlighting needs and apply it in a triangular motion under my eyes, down my nose, to my t-zone and my cupids bow. You can check this how to highlight and contour post to get a better idea of how I do it! To finish up my face, I’ll add some of this super creamy and blendable bouncy blush & a powder bronzer for the sunkissed glow!
For my eyes, I like to use a Maybelline Color Tattoo in a light pink shade for my primer all over my lid and then go in with one of these eyeshadow quads with pretty natural colors. I use the Wet n Wild brow palette to fill in my brows, a volumizing mascara and felt tip eyeliner!
The last thing I do is pick out a bright lip to really give the look a pop of color. Easy as pie, this look can be created in under fifteen minutes and you’re good to go! Be sure to check out my other Summer Beauty Tips & more Time Saving Beauty Tips!

I use the same Maybelline Color Tattoo shade – isn’t it just lovely? Great post – it’s always nice to see well-reviewed budget beauty buys. I want to try that Loreal primer now, it sounds great.
I want to try the Magic Lumi primer! I hear such great things about it!
This is a great post, always fun to hear about make up 🙂 The color tattoo shadow is my favorite! It’ stays all day and looks fab the whole time! I’m definitely going to learn to contour this summer – that’s my goal!
Hahaha, I was about to go on about how much I love that shade of pink lipstick and I need it etc…til I checked out the link and realized I own it. I need to wear this!
I love these gorgeous colors! Need that Maybelline palette!
I was just staring at that bouncy blush this weekend, wondering if it works or not! Thanks for the recommendation!
