Now that summer is in full swing (yay!), my makeup regimen is simpler. On most days I ditch the eye makeup (save for mascara) altogether. Instead of putting the emphasis on the eyes, I like to play up the golden tan I get during these hot sunny months. My bronzer gets a lot of face time (literally) and so does Vasanti Micronized Silky Blush in Andes ($15).
Vasanti Micronized Silky Blush in Andes
Andes is a gorgeous shimmery apricot blush. It’ll wear nicely on the lightest of skin tones as well as beauties with deeper skin. If you have a problem with overpacking on your summer vacation — and who doesn’t? — this is a good one to stash in your bag. It’ll be your blush and bronzer in one.

Just like their eyeshadow, Vasanti’s blush is silky smooth and finely milled. It adds a nice radiance to the skin instead of imparting a sparkly mess. It’s the same size (3.2 g / 11 oz) and price as the eyeshadow as well. If you have a lot of pink in your skin, don’t be scared of this colour; you might be pleasantly surprised. The neutral tones in this blush counteracts the orange, but it’s not too dark that it’ll look dirty on your skin. If you’re new to blush, this is also a good starter blush to avoid getting that clown-y feeling.

Do You Simplify Your Makeup Regimen in the Summer?
In this week alone, I noticed that I only wore 6 products on average: powder foundation, concealer, bronzer, mascara, brows, lipstick. That’s pretty low maintenance for me! I think one of the reasons is that I’d rather be outside than spend time getting ready inside. Are you with me?
How about you? Do you simplify your makeup when it’s hot outside?
