My Summer Makeup Must-Haves :P

Not that I am that great with makeup anyway, but with summer fast approaching, I can happily go around with hardly any makeup and blame it on the heat (for winters, I have to think of some excuse :P).  These are my favorites for this summer.

chanel mat lumiere foundation clinique dermawhite mac select moisturecover duo
Sunscreen:  Clinique Dermawhite (heard it's been discontinued)
Concealer:  MAC Select Moisturecover Duo (review here)
Chanel Mat Lumiere Powder Foundation (review here)
Avon Glimmersticks Lip Liner - Mystery Muave (here)
YSL Rouge Volupte Luscious Pink (here)
Chanel glosses - Nakkar and Praline
chanel blush espiegle
Blush:  Chanel Espiegle - gives just a hint of warmth to my face
and  a barely there peach sheen.
I guess bright colours for the eyes are the in this summer, but I have been managing with just these twist-up eyeliners of late.  Not that I am that much of an eyeshadow person - I just use one colour at a time - but now I have gotten so lazy, I skip even that :P

And some blotting sheets in case the skin starts misbehaving :P (recommended must-have by Cali):

TBS Tea Tree Blotting Sheets (review here)


What are your must-have makeup products for the summers?

    OMG...Amritha!! Nooo there are other Indian bloggers too who review Chanel products - but they also review so many other brands so probably you didn't notice :) Where do you stay? I know only a few places:

    Bangalore - Lifestyle stores (Koramangala and Richmond Road)

    The other two stores, I found with a bit of help from Google, so the info might be wrong, and I don't know much about these cities either :)

    Delhi - Chanel Boutique, Hotel Imperial
    Mumbai - Palladium Mall

    Bee - Nothing compared to the flaunting someone did on IMBB today - skirt and boots and an attitude to match :D

    Cali - Is really really good..but I add the sheets too...me update :D

    Anupam - I like the blush because I am not that comfortable with more colour..this is just enough for me to feel good but never look clowny.

    Do check out Rouge Extrait Glosses then..these glossimers that I have shown in the pic are quite sheer..they just give a hint of colour to the lips..the Extrait glosses give a lot more colour but are still very much in the gloss level..

    Oh Rads lovely prods just like you =*

    I would say my make up summer essential is the Lancome Drama mascara...

    as it cuts down my make from eye shadow and pencil and anything else....I put that only and i am done sometimes no need of even foundation just moisture and all set, for me its just WOW...

    Personally i think its the only thing i ever used on my face that actually made my chin drop at the effect :D from Drag to Queen in just secs :P
