Before you change your make up regimen to a natural make up approach, be sure start your skin off right by with a
complexion that is as as it can be for summer and beyond.
Use a skin cleaning,
skin toning, and skin moisturizing regimen that is strong enough, or gentle enough for your particular skin.
Also, when you find a make up product line that suits your skin, stick with the same name brand to keep your skin from acting out.

Post a CommentGreat tips! I've been meaning to try mineral makeup. I have a hard time wearing anything else due to allergies.
I love the Neutrogena products. I hardly ever use mascara anymore - especially in the summertime.
My summer regimine is like eye liner and mascara. period. Well, unless we are going out somewhere special at night ;) Still, I have been tempted lately to try some of the stuff you mention here.
Great information. I just can't imagine spending $50 to put stuff all over my face in the hot summer months (or any time!)
That line about skin acting out caught my attention. Have you been interviewing my skin?
