Makeup is my weakness. I've become an expert in skincare and perfumes. My nails and hair are always on point, but when it comes to makeup, I'm still learning the right products and techniques. I'm so madly in love with the clean-girl look, so I always keep my product use minimal and let my inner beauty shine through. Since I normally save most of my makeup for a night out, I haven't really taken the time to perfect my everyday look. With no idea where to start, I thought the best person to ask would be one of the professionals.
I've been admiring the Kardashians' makeup looks for years both on- and off-screen, as they always seem to find a way to express their love for glam. Wendi Miyake is a regular in the Kardashian household, most often glitzing up Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney Kardashian along with Kris Jenner, Madonna, and many more stylish celebrities. If they trust her with their faces and walk away looking that good, then I most certainly do too. I asked Miyake where to begin with my glowy summer makeup routine. She delivered an easy nine-step process I'll be repeating day in and out this season and beyond.
"Make sure to get a good SPF for the hot days in the sun to protect your skin and keep it looking bright all summer long. I like the EltaMD UV Clear SPF 46."
"Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin is one of my new favorite foundations for beautiful, glowing skin. A little goes a long way with this product. Start in the center and work your way outwards."
"For a fresh, light concealer, I like Ilia's True Skin Serum. A little under the eyes and just in the areas that need any extra coverage. This combo will make your skin look like skin, but better."
"Continuing with cream products to keep it looking fresh, add a pop of liquid blush on the apples of your cheeks for a little flush. I like Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. It's highly pigmented, so just a little with your fingers will give you that sun-kissed look."
"For the glow, I like to use the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand liquid highlighter on the high points of the face before the foundation to get the luminous look from within. Blend it into your skin using your fingers to really melt it in so that, when you apply your foundation, it stays put."
"Pop some waterproof mascara on to ensure no transferring to open up the eyes with one of my favs from YSL—the Volume Effet Faux waterproof mascara."
"Lastly, do some precision powder in the areas that need it—usually the T-zone of the face and a little under the eyes using a good translucent powder like Hourglass Veil Translucent."
"Before you walk out the door, hit just the high points of the face with Tatcha's Dewy spray to finish your glowing look, and you are ready for summer."
