Summer means mixing up your makeup look with brighter colours and light weight products. The Interrobang found some items that are both chic and reasonably priced to get that sun-kissed look.

A change in season requires a change in your makeup routine. Create an effortless looking tan with bronzer, add some coral lipstick for a pop of colour and some coats of mascara and you’re on your way to looking like a sun-kissed goddess.

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Full Coverage Foundation

Sephora- $51

The price may deter you from buying the product, it must have flakes of gold and drops of unicorn sweat for a foundation to be this pricey, right? Not exactly, but the effects are almost as good with 12 hours of buildable and full coverage, SPF 15, a broad range of shades, compatibility with all skin types and no parabens, sulfates and phthalates. Perfect for the summer, the foundation adjusts to meet the skin’s needs, mattifying oily skin, but still leaving the skin moisturized. It also comes in a BB tinted moisturizer for lighter coverage (Sephora- $47).

Physicians Formula Powder Palette Multi-Coloured Face Powder

Physiciansformula.com- $13.95. Also available at Walmart and Shoppers Drug Mart.

To set your foundation and keep oily areas of your face matte for longer it helps to use a powder. This pressed powder blends in with your skin tone and provides a soft and natural cover to your foundation. Included in the compact is a circle soft applicator. It is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, oil free and dermatologist approved.

Too Faced Beach Bunny Custom- Blend Bronzer

Sephora- $38

This multi-coloured bronzer and luminizer will give you the tanned glow you want without the ultraviolet (UVA/UVB) damage. The four different shades in the palette creates dimension, shimmer and buildable colour. The best part is it doesn’t make you look orange and doesn’t look like you’ve got streaks of dirt on your face. To create your Kim Kardashian contour look, brush on forehead along the hairline, temples, slightly on and below the cheekbones and on the top of the nose. Make sure to blend with a makeup brush for a more natural look. Do not apply all over the face unless an Oompa Loompa is the look that you are trying to achieve.

Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Gingersnap

Sephora- $30

This coral coloured lipstick has a satin smooth finish that keeps lips feeling moisturized and is long-lasting. The good thing about this coral colour is it is not too orange and not too bright. It is bold enough to wear without much eye makeup, but is also subtle enough for everyday wear. It’s the perfect way to add a pop of colour to your look.

Caryl Baker Visage Ultimate Eyeliner in Mythology

Caryl Baker Visage- $18

This eyeliner is soft brown with hints of gold glitter. The good thing about this eyeliner is that since the pencil is soft it doesn’t require you to be an expert in applying a perfect line. To apply, gently pull the skin next to the outside of the eye taut and away from the nose so that the eyelid starts to close on the eye. Starting in the inner eye with gentle strokes, draw the pencil along your lash line.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Walmart- $7

This mascara is perfect for the summer because it adds volume without the clumps. One side of the brush separates the lashes and lengthens while the other adds volume. For a more dramatic look, add extra coats when the previous coat is half dry. If you’re heading to the beach or going for a swim, consider the waterproof version.

Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets

Walmart- $7

This small, portable package of oil absorbing sheets can be used on the T-zone when the skin gets oily or sweaty. It’s convenient especially on the hot and humid sunny days. Simply pull out a sheet and press it onto the oily area to absorb the oil on the surface of the skin, without displacing your makeup.
