Get the "No Makeup Look"" this Memorial Day Weekend.

Who says you can't wear makeup to the pool?!! Certain makeup brands contain SPF and sun reflecting pigments that can actually protect your skin from the sun if applied properly.  The key is to apply it so that it looks fresh and dewy.  My #1 rule is NO Powder.  Anywhere. The goal is to look like you do not have on makeup.  You can wear a tinted moisturizer like my FAVE Laura Mercier SPF 20, OR you can do what I like to do.  Take your favorite SPF foundation, mix it with a little water OR moisturizer, and apply to your face. The mixture should be very light and give you a no makeup type look if done correctly. Then take the same brand of foundation in a couple shades darker to contour your face with.  The darker foundation gives a beautiful bronzed contour. Make sure to use a dewy finish foundation.  I LOVE NARS Sheerglow , but it is a little pricey.  A great drug store alternative is Neutrogena Healthy skin. It works almost exactly the same as the NARS, but at a MUCH cheaper price. It may not be quite as dewy as the Sheerglow, but it works very well.  I highly recommend it. 

You can use a cream blush if you like, however I LOVE Benefits Posietint.  It is a see through tint that gives a nice glow to the cheeks and lips.  Perfect for HOT weather. It is melt proof since it is a stain.

Add some waterproof mascara & some nude lip gloss, and you are good to go! Don't forget to mist your face with a setting spray, and it should last the whole day.  Have a safe and happy Memorial Day!
