EASY SUMMER HAIR & MAKEUP

EASY SUMMER HAIR & MAKEUP

 

When it’s hot outside, beauty prep has its challenges. The last thing I want to do is add more heat with a blowdryer to style my hair or layer on makeup that melts. I’ve a-listed a handful of products that help combat those situations while keeping my routine simple, fast and heat proof.

above: Westman Atelier highlighter, contour stick, powder, lip palette, (this trio on sale); Oribe dry shampoo, texturizing spray and styling cream, (Magic Set on sale here)

For makeup, I stick to the essentials that are easy to apply and pretty much goof proof. A bronzer stick replaces foundation. An application across cheeks, nose and forehead mimics sun-kissed skin and leaves a natural finish. I’ll swap out translucent powder for a brown hued shade and lightly dust across cheeks for warm color. The powder also tames any areas with too much shine. I’ll keep my lip color on the natural side and use a product that won’t bleed. Westman Atelier Lip Palette in nudes is my summer go-to for this. After applying color to my lips, any excess left on my fingers is dabbed on cheeks and eyelids. I’ll finish with a hint of highlighter to prevent a flat finish and may even dab a little on the center of my lips for dimension. The products all blend in nicely, so even in the summer heat, my makeup looks fresh.

Using similar principles for styling my hair means I don’t stress about control or perfection. I prefer my hair worn off my face for comfort similar to a ponytail. In between hair washing days, I’ll work with products that don’t require heat. I’ll freshen my style with a dry shampoo for root lift and a texturizing spray to add grit for body and hold. Oribe’s Gold Lust Dry Shampoo and Dry Texturizing Spray are two of my current favorites. On freshly washed hair, Oribe’s Imperial Blowout is a must. My fine hair can easily frizz and fall limp, but this blowout creme manages to prevent that. It’s also easy to reactivate with a little water between shampoos.

Rather than struggle with hair and makeup when it’s hot outside, I’ve found easy to use products that prevent me from looking wilted. Nordstrom makes shopping for these items and other beauty favorites convenient by stocking all the brands I love. Beyond makeup, they have a great selection of hair and skincare products plus cutting edge and everyday beauty tools. See all of my favorites at the end of this post…

    Karima, great product suggestions for a summery look, thank you. In the Westman pressed powder, did you choose the Cafe or Dune color? Also, peach highlighter, Biscuit contour stick? Love your small clutch!

      July 27, 2022

      Thank you. For the above application I use the Dune powder, the Peau de Peche highlighter and Truffle contour stick (which is pretty dark).

    Always love your suggestions! My hairdresser told me to never use the dry shampoo in the bathroom or an enclosed area, as there are lots of particles in the stuff that you don’t want to breathe in. Sort of a drag to go outside to use..but thought you would want to know.

Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual Gray is taking a back seat this season in my usual fall round up. Instead, warm, caramel tones have all of my attention. Mixing various hues results in an interesting look that feels more naturally acquired versus overly styled.

The Row silk scarf looks like something you could easily miss, but it’s the perfect finishing touch to so many looks. It truly goes with everything. Toteme’s travel loafers (in any color) is a must for any travel wardrobe. And I don’t know how this zipped cardigan got past me until now. It’s fantastic and in my cart.

My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric w My closet is slowly becoming more Khaite-centric with every new collection. Each season, I’m finding at least a few pieces from Khaite on the very top of must have list. I like how the styles stand out on their own making a modern statement in a subtle way. Adding a Khaite belt, sweater, or pair of jeans nudges a more current feel on my wardrobe without looking fashion obsessed.

Now, it’s time for a bag. The Lilith specifically caught my eye. Understated chic in a quietly sophisticated way. The slim size would make this ideal for travel when something more than an everyday bag is required. The black and cream leather are beautiful, but the latticework of Swarovski crystals is extra special.

One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently One of the loveliest dresses I’ve tried recently. From @lelarose, a designer whose work I love. The detail and intricacies in each flower is beyond. Scroll through for a close up.

I’m wearing the dress with gold and black suede T-strap @chanelofficial sandals. I added a belt for definition at the waist but think a grosgrain or satin ribbon would do the trick. Although I love the idea of pearls on the belt, I’d prefer a non logo with this dress. Link to dress in today’s story.

Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon W Since I received this lovely necklace from Devon Woodhill, I’ve barely taken it off. And according to Melissa Levy, founder and designer of Devon Woodhill Fine Jewelry, that’s exactly how the collection is intended to be worn. Each treasured piece is a timeless memento for daily and occasion wear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As I said in an earlier post - jewelry, fashion and interior design are opportunities to tell a story, which is why I adore this necklace. The 18k gold Florentine etched circle is elegant in its simplicity and can be personalized with a monogram, more charms, or worn as is. The beauty is in creating a modern heirloom reflecting your story. #bespoke #jewelry

The fabric in the first black dress from a few day The fabric in the first black dress from a few days ago had a tonal metallic thread that provided sparkle in a subtle way. Beading takes it to another level and perhaps too far for my taste. Both of today's black dresses are pretty - one offers coverage and the other is about shape. But, neither will make the final cut. I ventured out and bought them on @therealreal (I have a couple more on their way).

I’m always collecting and repurposing pieces to give them a fresh moment. Brown and white is my current obsession.🍂🤍🍂

Love this @andresotaloraofficial blue and white floral print. Scroll through to see it worn with a sash I added to dress it up. Plus it gives the waistline a little definition and gently breaks up the pattern. Very comfortable and easy to wear. @andresotaloraofficial is a brand very much on my radar. Love the prints and silhouettes 🤍🤍🤍@modaoperandi #dresses #eventdressing
