perfect summer bronze makeup

happy tuesday y'all! 

it has been so gloomy and rainy here and for the last week or so it has seemed like everything has been going wrong for me and a lot of my friends. my friend, Greer, told me that Mercury is in retrograde which is apparently throwing everything off. if that is true then i'm gonna need Mercury to get its shit together cause i'm pretty over this. 

anywayyy it's been summer here in the great state of Texas for a while but for some of y'all July 4th is the official sign that sweet summertime is once again upon us. (at least that is what it felt like when i was growing up in NY) so whether or not summer just started for you, i thought it would be cool to make a summer makeup look that is perfect for any occasion. this natural makeup look can be worn to work with a neutral lip (like i used in the tutorial) or for a night out on the town (yeah i just said that) by adding a bright lip and some fake lashes. 

i did all of this eyeshadow and liner using one thing, the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.

if you don't have this product let me tell you it is COMPLETELY worth the hype and the money (not too expensive at $50)! the colors are amazing. they are super pigmented so you don't need a lot of product which means that it is going to last you for a really long time. seriously, i use this all the time, have had it for over a year and am not hitting pan on ANY OF THE COLORS! the brush that comes with it is two sided. one side is a flat shader brush and one side is a blending brush. no joke, i think i like the blending brush better than a MAC 217. (insert serious GASPPPP here)

Okay now that my little mini review/rant is OVAAAAA check out the tutorial:

What do y'all think about this look for summertime? Did you try it?! How did you rock it?

Are there any palettes in your life that you could not live without?! let me know in the comments below! i am always on the hunt for new products (obvi). 

i have been filming a lot of videos so look for those coming up in the next couple of weeks!
