Summer makeup essentials - COLLEGE EDITION

Welcome! guys to another Sunday blog.
As the month of June arrived with a scorching sun and hot winds, the makeup industry also arrives with a new summer makeup edition. So, today in this blog I am going to talk about makeup products for everyday go-to-make up for college girls.

Always remember: Summer means light, cool and soothing colors. Never ever, go for dark and heavy shades of colors whether it's clothes or makeup or even the nail paint.

I am gonna recommend the makeup categories and brands for everyday makeup. This list is made by keeping in mind that in the morning you just need 5-10 minutes to do this look.

Before moving further there are some tips on what type of texture and formula you can go with-

• From thick textured foundation to light textured BB/CC cream
• From blush stick or eyeshadow stick to powder blush or eyeshadow
• From liquid eyeliner to eye pencil

 Here, we go with the list -


      1. BB/CC cream: Switch yourself to bb/cc cream depending upon the coverage you want. If you want good coverage then go for cc cream otherwise bb cream is your best friend.  

         Tip to go - If you want the natural look then avoid even the bb/cc cream. Just go with a good moisturizer.

         Product recommendation - 

• Lakme 9 to 5 complexion care face cream: Available in 2 shades, Price- Rs. 335 for 30g
• Maybelline New York Clear Glow BB Cream: Available in 3 shades, Price- Rs. 275 

    2. Concealer: Again, your choice. If you want to hide dark circles, acne scars or marks, hyperpigmentation then apply concealer specifically in target regions. 

        Product recommendation - 

• Maybelline New York Fit Me Concealer: Available in 9 shades, Price- Rs. 380 
• Wet n Wild Photo Focus Concealer: Available in 7 shades, Price- Rs. 399

   3. Loose powder: After concealing, under your eyes blend some loose powder in order to prevent creases that can form after a few hours. 

      Product recommendation - 

• Maybelline New York Fit Me loose finishing powder: Available in 4 shades, Price- Rs. 695

      But, this product can be more towards the pricy side. So, I have two compact powders that can work in the same way.

• Lakme sun expert ultra matte SPF 40 PA+++ compact: Rs. 176 
• Maybelline New York white super fresh compact: Available in 4 shades, Price- Rs. 160

      P.S. Compacts can work for everyday light makeup but for heavy and occasional makeup loose powders are better. 


   4. Eye makeup: Everyday eye makeup only requires two things - Mascara and Eye pencil. 
   

• Mascara- 

         Product recommendation:

                         

                a. Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara: Rs. 375 for 9 ml

                b. Wet n wild Max volume plus waterproof mascara: Rs. 499 for 8 ml

                c. Maybelline New York volume express Hyper curl mascara: Available in 2 shades, Price  Rs. 248  

• Eye Pencils- You can use them like kajal as well as eyeliner and smudge it to give a smokey eye look.    

        Product recommendation - 

  

              a.   Plum All day wear kajal-cum-liner kohl pencil: Rs.495

              b.   Nykaa Glamoreyes Colour eye pencils: Rs. 315 ( if you wanna try some new colors)

         

   5. Lipsticks: In summers, switch to more nude shades or some light pinkish shades. On a more affordable side, you can try out the NYKAA MINI LIPSTICKS collection.

   6. Setting spray: Don't go for pricey setting sprays. The best dupe of setting sprays I discovered recently is TONERS. If your toner is not in a spray bottle then transfer in some empty spray bottle and give a spritz on your makeup face. And, Girl! You are good to go. 

       Try out GOOD VIBES POMEGRANATE TONER - Price is Rs.145 for 120 ml.

   7. Nail Paint: For your nail paints, go for bright pop-up colors. 

      

       You can try out nail paints from Nykaa, Elle 18, Lakme. All these brands come to the affordable side.

So, this is my Summer makeup Essential kit which you can add in your collection. I hope you guys get some ideas from this.

Stay safe! Stay happy!
