on:Something that you all should know about me is that I’m a huge nerd about things. I love politics, conservative politics to be exact. I’ve been watching the GOP convention, which is what inspired this polyvore creation.

Makeup Must Haves
Posted September 1, 2012
on:I don’t know about y’all, but where I live in the South it is HOT. I decided to live on campus this year because I thought it would be more convenient with all of my involvement. Living on campus means that I walk everywhere in this heat. One of the solutions has been to skip a few steps in my beauty routine, so that my makeup doesn’t literally melt down my face. Here are my essentials:

I start out by using Smashbox’s green primer. My skin has a red undertone to it, so it helps blend that out.
I apply some powder after that, just because my skin is oily.
The next step is NARS Laguna bronzer. I have the duo of Laguna/Orgasm, but I haven’t been wearing blush lately. When I’m doing a full face, I’ll use a Smashbox highlighter to put some shimmer on my cheek bones.
I prime my eyes with Urban Decay’s primer before putting on my eyeshadow. Also, I’m a big fan of gel eyeliner. It goes on so much easier, and having the primer under it is a big help. The last step is mascara… I am OBSESSED with Givenchy mascara. It is worth the money. I have Bambi lashes, and the best part is that it doesn’t irritate my sensitive eyes.
I love a nice, neutral gloss. I have a pinkish one from NARS, but I picked up a peachy one from Revlon that does the trick.
What are your beauty secrets for summer? I’d love to know!
XX,
