Spring Break is less than a week away and if you’re like my friends, you already have a word document of your outfits planned out for each day. The only thing that can complement an already star-studded outfit is the perfect spring break makeup look. Whether you’re going to a tropical paradise, or staying in and having a relaxing week off, having the right makeup is the secret key to looking fresh and effortless, but more importantly sweat-free.
This lineup will have you look glowing and radiant, making sure everything looks exactly the way it should.
- SkinCare + Spf
-
Skincare is the most essential step to making sure your makeup looks flawless. Of course, don’t forget to layer on your sunscreen! Here are my favorites:
Moisturiser – CeraVe Hydrating Lotion (Light and hydrating)
SPF – Neutrogena Sunscreen (A classic)
Neutrogena - A HEAVY BASE
-
Skip the bronzing drops. You’re on spring break, embrace your natural tan! No one wants to look greasy in the sun. Skin tint or tinted moisturizer should be your go to for a light base for your glow. Here’s what I use:
Skin Tint – L’OrĂ©al Lumi Glotion or a tinted moisturiser (Don’t forget to match your tan shade!)
Concealer – ELF Hydrating Satin Camo Concealer
- Sunkissed radiance
-
End Goal – A beachy glow that looks like you’ve just spent the whole day in the sun. “Blonzer” , a blush-and- bronzer combo product, is a great invention by TikTok and a great way to look sun kissed.
Blonzer – Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer (Use on cheeks and eyelids – skip the eyeshadow!)
Highlighter – Physician’s Formula Highlighter (Add only to the high points of your face – cheekbones + tip of your nose – avoid looking sweaty)
Walmart - Eyes & Brows
-
Skip the eyeshadow – stick to bronzer for a warm look.
Brow Gel – NYX Brow Glue
Mascara – Maybelline Sky High (Long and fluttery eyelashes)
- Lips – your favourite!
-
Your go-to lip routine (liner and lipstick duo) with a clear gloss to send this look right to the finishing line.
- Lock in.
-
Keep everything in place with two fresh sprays – setting and finishing.
Setting – NYX Mattifying Setting Spray (For everything to blend perfectly)
Finishing – L’OrĂ©al Infallible 24HR Setting Spray (To make sure NOTHING moves)
There you go! The perfect beauty routine to enhance your outfits on spring break and make sure you look your best all day, everyday. Enjoy!
