With summer (hopefully) right around the corner, it is time to adjust your beauty routine. When the warm weather, bright sun and of course, humidity hits, we should shake it up and go with some lighter, simpler beauty products. Embrace your natural beauty this season and let your features, not your makeup stand out.


1. Switch it up from powder blush to cream blush 

Heavy blush can look garish and unnecessary in the summer sun, especially when naturally tanned. Instead of a powder blush switch to a cream one for a more subtle and rosy appearance. 

Try: Becca Beach Tint Duo (C$24.00)

2. Switch it up from foundation to a BB or CC cream 

Let your skin breathe this summer! Try a light coverage product to moisturize and keep skin healthy like a BB or CC cream. 
 
Try: Smashbox Camera Ready CC Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Dark Spot Correcting (C$50.00)

3. Switch it up from lipstick to a lipstain

Now is the perfect time to relax with your beauty. Avoid the overly done up look that can come with bold or dark lips and opt instead for a fresh, minimal face. 

Try: Maybelline SuperStay 10HR Stain Gloss (C$10.09) 

4. Switch it up from a musky, intense scent to a light, floral one

Fall and winter call for gourmand or spicier perfumes, but warm weather needs a more feminine fragrance with citrus or floral notes! 

Try: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine (C$85.00)
 
5. Switch it up from a setting powder to a setting spray 
   
Humidity is a pain in the butt and it means that powder can settle into lines and crease up. Skip setting powder which can be heavy and try a setting spray instead. 
 
Try: Kat Von D Lock 'N Load Makeup Setting Mist (C$31.00)
