Now that we’re approaching the summer months, it’s time to perfect your summer fresh face makeup routine! During the winter many people wear heavier makeup, but in summer when the layers come off and you’re sporting bare arms and legs, it’s only right to have a fresh faced makeup routine to match. Since many of us are not blessed with absolutely flawless skin, we need something to achieve that smooth, fresh, dewy, and naturally flawless base that is essential for the fresh faced look.
I had the exciting opportunity to partner with bareMinerals this month to try out their brand new, first ever liquid foundation, bareSkin, that will hit the shelves May 1st! I’ve been a bareMinerals customer for over three years now (and absolutely love it), and have been slowly replacing everything in my makeup bag with every product they sell. So I was beyond thrilled to be able to try out their newest innovative product. And you guys, it’s awesome.
The foundation has the bare minimum ingredients, all of which are natural and renewing (vitamin c, coconut and lilac plant), so it won’t clog your pores or make you breakout, both of which I can attest to. In fact, my pores look clearer since I’ve started using it. You guys, I’ve tried so many liquid foundations, all of which I haven’t loved for one reason or another, so I’m thrilled to finally a liquid foundation that I love and can feel good about wearing!
After applying my bareSkin foundation, I added bronzer, blush, a swipe of eyeliner pencil, and mascara, and filled in my eyebrows, then finished the look with a shimmery pale pink gloss (I’ll share all the details, products, and a step by step tomorrow)!
This fresh and natural makeup look was just begging for a summery look to go with it, so I threw a summery dress and vest over my lace top, and paired it with some wedge sandals and aviators for a sunny afternoon downtown!

I'm almost out of my current foundation, I love liquid foundation, and I've always wanted to try Bare Minerals. I may have to hop into their store and take a look!
I have been using BareMinerals since you first mentioned it and how it helped with problem skin. I would love to try the bareskin formula since it seems faster and less messy ( hello powder all over the sink!). I have two questions though: Do you have to wash the brush more frequently ( like everyday?) because it is liquid? and Do you have to use a finishing powder ( like mineral veil) overtop to set it? Thanks and I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend!
Yeah, it's probably a good idea to wash it more often than your regular brushes. I'm doing every 2-3 days! Also, yes, I did use a finishing powder — just my mineral veil foundation, like you mentioned!
And yes…my sink is ALWAYS covered in foundation powder too 😉
That foundation looks amazing on you! I've been a bareminerals fan in the past so I might have to check this out.

Wow! It looks really good and very natural. I love your dress!
I tried the BareMinerals powder foundation and hated it, but girl I'm buying whatever you're selling! You look amazing! Maybe I'll give it one more shot. 🙂
The liquid foundation by BM must be new, is it? I steered clear of BM because I have dry skin and the powder just never did look nice on my skin. Maybe I'll give the liquid foundation a try, next.
I love the bareminerals powder foundation, but you have me curious enough to want to try their new liquid – just as my powder version is running low, so good timing 😉 — thanks for sharing!
Looks so good! I have always been pleased with bare minerals. How do you get your eyebrows to look so good? Mine look fake when I try to fill them in.

A tutorial is coming soon!
Your skin looks flawless. I applaud you for showing a true before and after.
I am wondering what shade you got? After reading others reviews they almost all said that even the lights were too dark. But yours looks beautiful.
It's called Bare Shell and it's a perfect match!
A great post, thanks fo the tips. I love freshfaced make up x

You can make white wine more like red by letting the skins steep awhile before removing them and adding more alcohol, which increases polyphenol extraction, but most white wine is far lower in polyphenols. That’s okay—”lower” isn’t zero and the alcohol itself has some benefit in low doses—and shouldn’t prevent you from enjoying white wine. If you want to try a red-esque white, go for something like this “skin ferment” Roussanne.
Thanks for putting this up, I just went through your entire blog and you are awesome! I have it bookmarked now. I am making these for Christmas for my 3 kids and my 2 nieces. Except I am making them for colored pencils as we live in AZ and crayons melt in the car. I am thinking colored pencils are normally 7″ long – but I would make the front panel just long enough to secure the pencils – because they get shorter as they get used. Thank you again!!!! God Bless!!!! Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I recently purchased a secondary coverstitch (juki 1000) since I was annoyed with converting the serger in the middle of a project. Oddly though I still rarely use it. I sew 90% of the project on the serger, (regular overlock seam 4 thread) and then depending on the knit I will either hem it on my sewing machine with a single needle, or that’s when I will pull out the coverstitch for the hem. My advice to anyone would be to get the best serger you can afford, you won’t ever be sorry you have one. If the day comes that you have extra money and you want to expand your skills go for a coverstitch. I thought it would be life changing but really all it does is hems and that’s something my other machines could do as well, but now when I hem I have to find 4 spools of matching thread. Hope that helps!

I cant figure out how many stitches you need to make in the loop when you are making the magic ring, please help. I have tried 10 and 18 and I cant figure it out. I have the white and blue layers down well but the red just isn’t working out.

I love the spice rack. I’ve struggled keeping my spices organized for years. This could be the answer!
Hello! I could have sworn I’ve visited this website before but after going
through some of the articles I realized it’s new to me.

Anything with the word PEACE is beautiful. It’s an awesome photo with the glorious colors and message. I love the platform sandals. I bought the exact same ones a few years, but decided to give them to the Goodwill. Even though I loved them, I was just too tall in them. I would like to have a flat pair.
