Summer is here! It's the season when you want to look fresh, flawless and natural because you don't want your makeup to look cakey with the extreme heat we are experiencing everyday; p
Here's how to get this barely-there "nude" makeup look...
2WAY EYEBROW PENCIL
I can go out without any lipstick on but not without my eyebrows. Just like moisturizer and sun protection, never leave your house without a well-groomed brows. Personally, I use a shaver/razor to trim, groom, shape and arch my eyebrows.

For definition, my eyebrows work well with either a pencil or a powder or a combination of both just like this new 2-in-1 Lasting 2Way Eyebrow Pencil 24h 1 Day Tattoo in Natural Brown (102) from K-Palette. I will definitely write more about this exciting new product in my succeeding entries.

I posted an eyebrow tutorial using a powder here. You can also read about the eyebrow makeover I did on my sister here.

FACE POWDER/LIGHT CREAM
Now is the time to ditch those concealers and heavy creams and switch to powder or powder/foundation. If you don't apply creams/concealers properly on your face, it can easily get cakey in this crazy summer heat.
If you can't totally ditch creams, at least try to switch to beauty products that have a lightweight cream like Beauty Shot Face Blur with SPF 15/PA+ from Etude House. It provides multi-blurring effects for instantly refined and smooth skin. Show some freckles, natural is in!
I am currently using my favorite line from Kanebo, Media Moist Fit Foundation. It can be used wet/dry. I prefer using it dry, as a powder for a shine-free face.

LIP LINERS
After exfoliating your lips with a brush, do not forget to hydrate your lips with your trusted brand of moisturizer or lip balm before going out under the sun. Treat you lips right, say no to chapped lips!

I am in love with my recent purchase from a brand called Essence. It is a lip liner made in Germany. I have tried and tested several brands that are more expensive but nothing comes close to Essence in terms of ease in application. Works like a lipstick, say no to tugging please!

Pardon the lip photos in this entry as I am still perfecting the Korean version of Ombre Lips called Gradiant Lips. It is a combination of a nude lip liner and pink lipstick.
Essence Lipliner was used to outline my lips in the photo above.
