present summertime faves from Stila
Can you believe it’s September? I can’t. It’s already the very first month of fall! That’s craziness. Time truly doesn’t provide an eff exactly how topsy-turvy the world gets. It just keeps on keepin’ on…

I assumption makeup is kinda similar in a way… The world around us may be b-a-n-a-n-a-s, however you can count on that pan of Stila cream blush to keep doing its thing.

Speaking of Stila, their makeup has been a good break from the tension of this summer, which so far has been a age in which I’ve been doing things I never believed I would, like drafting a six-page household pandemic emergency reaction plan, or composing a pros/cons listing to send Connor back to preschool — a listing that includes health and wellness department metrics for COVID.

Like I said, bananas! ?

But blush is just blush. nothing more, nothing less. as well as there’s something comforting about that.

Here are a few of my faves from Stila I’ve been having fun with this summer…

Convertible color in Peony as well as Gerbera, $25 each

This creamy blush blends seamless gradients as well as dries to a satin finish, all while adding soft, translucent color to cheeks. My pick for tanned as well as darker skin is Peony, a brownish rose, which I adore as well as have been using a heap for 5-minute makeup looks. If your skin is lighter than mine, try Gerbera, a rosy peachy pink.

Complete harmony Lip & Cheek Stick in sheer Gerbera, sheer Lilium as well as sheer Peony, $26 each

Like the Convertible Colors, these twist-up cream sticks can be used on cheeks as well as lips. They’re like a less costly NARS Multiple, however much sheerer ($26 vs. $39), so if you’re into barely-there, natural-looking cheeks as well as lips as well as a matte finish, they just may be your new preferred thing.

My skin tone (for the official makeup record) is NC42
Double Dip Suede shade & shine & glow liquid Eyeshadows in video camera Ready, $24

I’m a bit consumed with this long-wearing cream shadow duo, which includes a velvety matte purple on one side as well as a glittery purple on the other, since it’s one of the fastest methods I understand to do an simple vibrant look. begin by sweeping the velvety matte from your lash line as well as fading up toward the crease as well as brow bone. then push the shine toward the base of your lashes before finish them with mascara. Takes all however five minutes!

I’m using video camera prepared on my lids, Peony on my cheeks as well as lips, as well as Magnum Mascara on my lashes!
Heaven’s shade Highlighter in Bronze, $32

Creamy as well as soft to the touch (so simple to blend with just fingers!), this golden bronze highlighting powder lights up skin with a warm, shimmery glow.

In the Buff Powder Spray in Illuminating, $15

This luminous, loose setting spray is available in a spray pump. So fun! I like to dab a bit on top of matte cream blushes to set them without altering the color, while likewise adding the tiniest touch of barely-there shine.

Magnum XXX Mascara, $23
