Question: Hi Jamie! I’m going to Hawaii…I like to wear makeup but don’t want to look done up. What are my options?

Hi “D”!
Great question because that’s something that every girl struggles with, especially if you have problem skin (like most of us do). Here are my top picks:
L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Clear Self-Tanning Gel: Honestly, the easiest way to avoid wearing makeup is to “perfect” your skin…and going a shade or two darker is the best way to camoflauge imperfections. I’d self-tan the night before you leave (after showering, shaving and scrubbing) to prep your skin.
ARCONA REOZONE 40: You can’t forget the SPF (cause I won’t let you!)! ARCONA makes several good SPF products that are broad-spectrum (protects you from both UVA and UVB rays) and are also suitable for all skin types.
Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20: A tinted moisturizer is your best bet as far as foundation while on vacation at the beach. This Tarte version is super light, goes on smooth and provides just enough coverage…bonus for the additional SPF 20.
Maybelline Volum’Express The Falsies Waterproof mascara: A little waterproof (very important!) mascara is just enough to make your eyes pop…no eyeshadow or eyeliner necessary in the sand.
Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15: This lip treatment is standard issue in the beauty world. I love that it’s super moisturizing (again, with SPF) and also provides a light hint of color.
Have so much fun on your trip!
xo,
Jamie
