During the hot summer days, it is definitely necessary to change our makeup routines to accommodate the warmer weather. Learn some simple steps to take to update your summer makeup  from Jennifer Tilly’s makeup artist, Nadia Shalini.

Celebrity Makeup Artist, Nadia Shalini, suggests using a tinted sunscreen or makeup primer instead of your regular ol’foundation.

She recommends Sisley Broad Spectrum Sunscreen. She loves to use it both on herself and her high profile clients. This is a double duty sunscreen, protecting your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. This sunscreen is comes in shades of Natural, Golden, and Amber. It goes on matte, provides moisture, sunscreen and lightly evens out the skin tone. Apply a bronzer over skin to deepen color or blush. Try Magic Mosaic Multi-Colored Custom Pressed Powder by Physician’s Formula. Complete the look with a mascara like L’Oreal’s HIP High Drama Volume Mascara in Black Blue. To add some color to your lips in a fun way, try Too Faced Mood Swing Lip Gloss in Berry Pink. This gloss changes colors as quickly as your mood does!

Another favorite product is Per-fekt Skin Perfecting Gel, which can also be used underneath makeup as a primer or worn by itself. It is light weight and non-greasy. It does a great job of evening the skin tone and giving the skin a wonderful sun kissed glow. When using this product, be sure to use a sunscreen underneath because it does not have a strong enough SPF to protect you from sun burn. The Skin Perfecting Gel comes in 5 different shades. Use a soft pink blush on the cheeks, like Fresh Bloom Allover Colour by Clinique. The LashStash Mascara Deluxe Sampler by Sephora offers a variety of top brand mascaras to choose from. Apply Spice Rum (a rosy bronze hue) bareMinerals 100% Lipcolor by Bare Escentuals.
