Summer Makeup

I don't know about you, but I hate wearing makeup in the summer. Haha really, it just melts off my face and makes me feel like a sweaty mess.

I prefer the natural, healthy, all-natural, sun kissed glow! :) But like most people, my skin isn't perfect. I'm not one of those girls that wears 3 inches of makeup, but I do feel a little uncomfortable if I'm not concealing problem areas.

So here's what my summer makeup routine usually is. First of all I would highly encourage you do take a break from (or most of) your makeup for the summer. My skin feels so much better when it can breath! And the sun (not hours in the sun and getting burned, but a healthy amount of time while wearing sun lotion) evens out my skin tone and gives it a healthy glow, also reduces blemishes!

So anyway, here's what I wear:

Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30
This stuff is great. It doesn't really feel or smell like sunscreen so I usually wear it just as a face lotion even if I'm not going outside. It's great if you have acne prone or sensitive skin!

Neutrogena Skin-Clearing Blemish Concealer
Instead of covering my whole face with foundation, I just conceal on problem areas.

Then put on your favorite mascara and chap-stick or lip gloss. You're set to go! Yes, that's it! (Though sometimes I wear eyeshadow and/or blush to church...) Keep your look simple and you'll feel naturally gorgeous and summery!

Have acne?
-Wash your face twice a day.
-DON'T TOUCH IT! This seriously works! Touching your face just spreads bacteria!
Try this facial mask (it feels amazing!)
-One spoonful of coco powder
-One spoonful of honey
-One spoonful of plain yogurt
Mix it all together, apply to face, and wash off in 15-20 minutes. It feels so refreshing!

I use to be really insecure about my skin. But I hated wearing makeup in the summer because it just felt gross and washed off in the pool anyway. I learned that my skin isn't perfect, but that's ok! Really it is!Enjoy your summer and your natural, God-given beauty!

What is Your Clothing Personality?

No matter if we like it or not, a first impression tells you a lot about a person. How they do their hair, how they carry themselves, and what kind of clothes they wear can give you a glimpse into their personality before you even get to know them. Ever wonder what kind of clothes you should wear to give people the right idea about your personality?
If you wear the right clothing personality, you should feel confident and love what you wear. You’ll probably be able to scroll right down this page and find it by looking at the outfit pictures. If you’re not quite sure, read on!

The Girl Next Door

You’re the casual, laid back girl with a cute, comfy style. You’ll usually choose practicality over fashion and your wardrobe staples include jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt. You probably wear your hair tousled and easy under your favorite beanie hat. You’re simple, easy, and reserved. You don’t especially like standing out, you’d rather blend in with the crowd.


The Boho Girl

You are a free spirit! You don’t let anyone tell you what to do…or what to wear. You like things natural, and you go with the flow of what feels right to you. You’re attracted to exotic print dresses and tunic tops, long peasant skirts, wide leg jeans, and accessories with feathers, leaves, or beads. On your feet, you’re most likely either wearing strappy sandals or moccasins.



The Cowgirl

You like all things county! You’re a small town girl and not ashamed to admit it. You are a very down to earth person and love things that remind you of being home in the country. The staples of your wardrobe are a trusty cowgirl hat and sturdy boots. You mostly like wearing jeans you can get dirty in, but you’re not afraid to look cute with your fun, frilly skirts. Ride on, cowgirl!




The Edgy Girl

You are most likely an artsy girl who loves music, whether it be listening to it or making it yourself. You might also like drawing, photography, or writing. You’re into setting trends instead of following them. You can also be seen wearing something black, but not without bright colors. Your favorite accessories are probably something studded, a striped or plaid scarf, and converse shoes in your favorite color.




The Romantic Girl

You are a very feminine girl, and not at all afraid to act like it. You adore the old movies and are attracted to vintage things. You like it best when things are soft and pretty, so on clothes, you love lace, ruffles, and flowy fabrics in soft colors, like pinks, pastels, and off-white. You like small accessories, especially bows, flowers, hearts, and locket-and-keys.




The Sophisticated Girl

You’re very mature for your age and carry your head high. The clothes you like wearing will never go out of style. People might describe your style as “classy”, “chic”, or even “conservative”. Your wardrobe mostly consists of things like a cardigan, a blazer, trouser pants, and a pencil skirt: mix and match to create a flattering outfit for any event. To dress up your outfits, you love wearing statement jewelry and oversized Jackie-O sunglasses.



The Unique Girl

You’re a very trendy girl, creative and bold, with an eye for the unusual. You love neon colors and animal print: anything to attract attention to your eclectic style. You’re current on the latest trends but it doesn’t completely dictate your style. You’re the kind of girl who will wear something because it’s “cute”, not comfortable. You might wear certain kinds of outfits for a couple months, then ditch them and buy different outfits, maybe because the trends change, or because you’re just bored.



Which Clothing Personality are you? Comment below!

Note: You may be a mixture of two styles. I’m romantic-boho. Unique and edgy also mesh well, as do the cowgirl and the girl next door.
