Summer is the time where everyone wants a lighter base and glowing skin, myself included. I like to use the body shop's vitamin C skin reviver as a base for my makeup as it's really smoothes out the skin and makes it soft to touch as well as giving the skin an instant radiance boost which is perfect for the summer months, this can be worn on it's own or under foundation and it still gives the same effect. In the cheek department I use Mac well dressed blush as it's a pale baby pink with a slight shimmer running through the really brightens up my complexion and makes me look more awake. well dressed was the first product I purchased for mac two years ago and I find that my skin always look really healthy when I use it. a light dusting of mac's soft and gentle highlighter is the main contributor when it comes to achieving that summer glow, the peachy-gold tone compliments a lot of skin tones and gives the skin a gorgeous sheen. finally, I like to set everything in place using the mac fix + as it makes everything look less matte and a lot more glowy. all of these products can be switched out for other products that do a similar job but for me these four standout among all of my other products.

My foundation dream team
The three musketeers of my makeup bag which give me a perfect flawless base, I use these three products nearly everyday as it's fool proof and I know it'll look good when I'm done applying it. I start off by applying my Nars sheer glow foundation in dots all around my face, I then go on to spraying my Real techniques buffing brush with 1 spray of Mac Fix + and buff in the foundation. on an everyday basis I'll only use one layer of my Nars sheer glow foundation, but for an evening or night out look I will just put a little bit of extra foundation on my cheeks, nose and chin to give me a bit of extra coverage. I find that the fix + helps my foundation blend in more smoothly and gives me a more fresh faced look, and I will just point out now that even though the foundation is called 'sheer glow' the foundation isn't sheer what-so-ever, it gives a medium buildable to full coverage base without looking cakey, one of the things I love most about the foundation is that you can't feel it on your skin and it's very comfortable to wear for a long period of time. After i've applied my base, concealed, powdered and all of that jazz I will just spray my face once more with fix + to give myself a dewier finish and to set everything in place.
what products give you the perfect base?

Review | MAC Fix +
Throughout the beauty community I have heard wonderful things about the makeup finishing spray MAC Fix + and thought I would give my 2 cents on the product.
I have found this spray to be wonderful when you've accidentally applied too much powder and start looking like someones chucked you into a pack of flour, rolled you into dough and baked you in the oven for 10 minutes. A couple of spritz's on your face and it makes your skin look dewy and fresh and not cakey at all. People have claimed that it has prolonged the staying power of their makeup but I don't feel that this is true, I haven't noticed that my makeup has stayed on longer than usual. I would say that do not spray more than 3 spritz's as i've noticed it can make my face look greasy. This product is lovely on those hot days where you just need something to cool your face down, without ruining your makeup! Overall, I really like this product because it makes my base makeup look more natural, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing it straight away.
