How to make summer makeup last

Since summer weddings are becoming a popular trend, it’s important to have some looks that’ll work well for the season, and Shawn Towne, Global Director of Education and Artistry for jane iredale, is going to show you one.

jane iredale Smooth Affair Face Primer – Mattifying

A good start to any makeup look is a primer, and that’s where the Smooth Affair Face Primer comes in. Its mattifying properties make it the perfect summer makeup primer because it eliminates shine without drying the skin. Red algae extract controls sebum in the skin while hibiscus bark extract supports collagen and elastin production. Plus, rose geranium extract provides antioxidant benefits, which are essential for any summer makeup look.

Shawn prefers to use the jane iredale Rose Gold Blending/Contouring Brush because it expertly disperses the product throughout the skin. That said, you can also use your fingers as well.

jane iredale PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation

When it comes to learning how to make summer makeup last, this mineral foundation is a must. As jane iredale’s bestselling product worldwide, you know it’s tried and tested. It’s a foundation, powder, concealer and a broad-spectrum sunscreen in one. He likes to use The Handi Brush, working in a smooth downward direction, across the entire face.

jane iredale POMMISST Hydration Spray

To set your base, Shawn recommends using their bestselling hydration spray: POMMIST Hydration Spray. Its use of antioxidant-rich pomegranate makes it perfect for facing the summer sun. This formula helps the makeup meld to your skin, ensuring it stays put.

jane iredale Active Light Under-Eye Concealer

To remove the remains of depth under the eye, Shawn uses the Active Light Under-Eye Concealer, which also adds a touch of brightness. It also features cucumber extract to tone down puffiness. This can be easily applied with the jane iredale Foundation Brush. Its sheer coverage makes the perfect brightening summer concealer.

jane iredale PureBronze Matte Bronzer – Light

Shawn’s favorite bronzer, the PureBronze Matte Bronzer is perfect for adding a sun-kissed glow to the skin. He uses the jane iredale Chisel Powder Brush for application, but you can also use the jane iredale Dome Brush for contouring. He applies it onto temples, under the cheekbones and along the jawline, onto the neck.

jane iredale Glow Time Blush Stick – Mist

A luminous cheek is popular in the summer, which makes this blush stick perfect for the wash of color it provides. Not only does it instill the cheek with a bit of color, but it also reflects light with mica to provide a subtle glow.

jane iredale PureBronze Shimmer Bronzer – Rose Dawn

For a more dramatic look, you can use the Rose Dawn bronzer. It helps your skin reflect even more light with its mica content, making it great for highlighting the tops of cheek bones, forehead and chin.

jane iredale PurePressed Eyeshadow Palette – Solar Flare

A perfect choice for a summer wedding, Shawn applies the rose gold shade over the entire eyelid from the inner corner to the outer corner of the eye. The jane iredale Crease Brush helps achieve soft dispersal making it ideal for application. These shadows are fan favorites for their nourishing ingredients, like jojoba oil and shea butter, that allow them to apply like a powder but blend like a cream.

Next, he applies the darkest shade with the same brush, just to the outer corner of the eye to give it some depth. Using the crease brush here also allows for smooth application with no signs of demarcation.

Finally, he uses the jane iredale Deluxe Shader Brush, a flat and precise brush, to apply the lightest shade just above and below the innermost corner of the eye. He also adds just a touch to the highest point of the brow bone. Thanks to the jojoba oil and shea butter, these shadows don’t experience much fallout, making these an easy choice for a summer makeup look that lasts.

jane iredale PureBrow Shaping Pencil

To define your brows, Shawn suggests this shaping brow pencil. Begin by brushing them with the spoolie side before pulling the shaping pencil across your brows. Its ability to apply color to both the hairs and skin simultaneously makes it an effortless pencil to use.

jane iredale Liquid Eye Liner

Perfect for making summer makeup last, this clean formula stays on the eyes really well. Plus, its brush offers precision control, as it’s long and slim. Simply lay the brush along the lash line and pull it across.

jane iredale Beyond Lash Volumizing Mascara

Finishing the eye, this lengthening and strengthening mascara creates a dark, intense look that gives a good amount of volume to the lashes—no primer necessary.

jane iredale HydroPure Hyaluronic Lip Gloss

To put the finishing touches on your summer makeup look, Shawn recommends this lip product that actually feels more like a balm than a lipstick or lip gloss. Non-sticky and packed with beneficial ingredients, it hydrates lips with hyaluronic acid, promotes plumpness with palmitoyl tripeptide, nourishes with essential oils and smooths with lactic acid.
