Hm, I don’t change anything with my make up products except that I use them less and I wear minimal make up during summer.

I’m so bad at makeup! I get so confused between BB and CC creams – but these sound like good suggestions for me! Guess I’ll head to Sephora :(
Chelsea says
I definitely need to switch out some of my makeup for summer. I also choose to wear less once my skin gets a bit of a tanned glow- it helps a ton!
Shipra Taneja says
I love the Melteds! They do anything but on the lips! I have a long, long list of wants! <3

I agree with you on the MUFE HD blushes! They are incredible, and so easily to blend!
Honeygirlk says
I have never been a fan of the Too Faced Lash Injection – I still have a full size tube I refuse to use. I do love melted lippies – they are awesome.
Melody Robinson Wright says
I definitely love the Make up For Ever Blushes! They are the best!
Nidia Doherty says
I am a huge fan of Cover FX! The BB Gel works better for my oily skin, but the CC creme does have better coverage. I can’t be without a makeup setting spray, either! I alternate between Urban Decay and ELF. What did I do before I discovered setting spray??
Ange says
I want everything. ALL OF IT.
Carly Anderson says
Isn’t that make up setting spray the BEST?

Love love love mineralize skin finish!
Cassie Tucker says
A setting spray and waterproof mascara are MUSTS in the summertime. I can’t count the number of times some of my foundations haven’t lived up to claims and started sliding because I got a little sweaty.
Brooke @ Blushing Noir says
I’m obsessed with all of your picks! Especially the MUFE Blush and TF Melted!
