My Summer (no foundation) Foundation (by S)

As you know summer has finally arrived in London! seriously I was starting to loose all hope, now I can wear my flip flops and summer clothes instead of looking at them, tutting, all the while moving my head from side to side...

I tend to see a lot of females with loads of foundation, the whole works, full on, and if that's you, then do you!  but as for me I like my foundation to be as light as possible, and Dewey looking, so that's not shiny or matte, just in between, Dewey..,.

"Just to let you know that my colour in M.A.C is NC50"



From Left -Right, Elf's tinted moisturiser SPF20 in the colour "espresso" which is there darkest shade, M.A.C Select Cover-Up in NC50, M.A.C Mineralize SkinFinish in "Dark".

The First thing I do is apply my elf tinted moisturiser with a foundation brush, making sure it's well blended, then I apply my concealer, If you have flawless skin you can skip this step! ( lucky bug you!) after that I apply my skinfinish, which sets my moisturiser and concealer, and this is my summer foundation routine, simple quick and easy...

Elf Tinted Moisturiser £3.75
M.A.Cs Select Cover up NC50 £14.50
M.A.Cs M.S.F £21.00 in Dark

I am so in lust with the elf tinted moisturiser, I mean, for a 25ml tube for under £4, it is ahhh-ma-zing, it provides good coverage, and with the added SPF20, aloe, cucumber vitamins A,C and E, it really is a steal! MSF is perfect for setting liquid foundations, if you have good skin you can wear it alone, or if you are of a lighter complexion, you could contour with it...Ive tried other concealers from mac, but this is the one I always come back to ( trust me, i need it!) for me, it provides the best coverage for my dark marks.

"you can only purchase elf products on line at www.eyeslipsface.co.uk" as for the M.A.C products you can go to your local outlet or on line www.maccosmectics.co.uk

On the left is the Elf tinted moisturiser in espresso! on the right is M.A.C Select cover up concealer in NC50!!!!! so if you are NC50, look how close in colour the elf product is to the M.A.C!!!!!

Hope this helps someone out there who is looking for a simple summer foundation routine!

  1. Hi, I recently took interest in buying Mac but I'm still unsure of what shade to buy? I will go in store before buying the foundation. *I think* I'm an nc50 but I'm finding it hard to see the true shade in natural light online; a lot of videos and pictures either have filters or are in bright light. Could you do someswatches on your jaw line and arm for me please? I would really appreciate it
