Jess Corbs Makeup: My prefect sun holiday make up bag.

So, lets be real no one wants to wear a full face of make-up on a sun holiday. Day time for me, is all about getting a tan while laying around the pool/beach. It is the only time of the year when make up isn't on my mind 24/7! During the day if anything I will just use a brow gel on my brows & some lip balm preferably one with a factor.

At night for me, its all about making the most of my holiday sunkissed skin. So I am all about very sheer coverage foundation cream bronzers & highlighters. I always love having individual lashes luckily enough ill have my semi permanent lashes on this year from the gorgeous Val at fabulosity on dame street.

This blog post is just a run through of all my sun holiday beauty essentials.

Millon dollar moisturiser-Lush cosmetics.

This is a must have for me over everything else I would bring. It is everything anyone would need for their sun adventures. It gives the skin a flawless glowing complexion while hydrating & protecting your skin against harmful UVA & UVB rays, with beautiful rich honey, sesame oil & spf 30. I would wear this everyday with nothing else on my face it is a great alternative than slapping on heavy pore clogging sun factor. Day or evening time this is prefect but obviously with the high SPF day time is the most ideal time to wear it.

Oh baby highlighter-Push Makeup.

On holiday in the evenings, I just love to make the most of my sun kissed glow. I hate my makeup to look or feel heavy, I feel cream products give the most natural & effective dewy makeup look for this. The push 'oh baby' highlighter is just beautiful, it is actually a cream eyeshadow but I love using it as my check bone highlight it has gorgeous pink undertones to it. Usually pink highlights can look very pale on my sallow skin but this colour is just so universal & gorgeous on fair to dark skin tones. I promise you'll love this highlight! I just use my fingers to tap this onto the skin.

You can get it in any K2 salon, there is one in Cabra & one in Glasnevin or you can order it online at push-makeup.com

PRICE: €12.00

Nuxe DD cream.

Again this is a prefect one for the evening, it is sheer coverage but still hides any blemishes or redness on the skin. It just looks like your skin, but better! This comes in three shades light,medium & dark. I personally use the medium shade it gives the skin a beautiful warm tan. It blends on the skin prefectly, honestly the best BB/CC type cream I have ever used. I got a sample from cloud ten beauty & it lasted me ages.

It would also be a great one to use the DD cream during the day if your a little bit shy of braving a bare face as it is really hydrating & it has SPF 30 plus it feels like your wearing nothing at all on the skin.

L'oreal Lumi Magique

My all time favourite foundation from the drug store, is the amazing L'oreal lumi! Unfortunately it only comes in like five shades. I use the shade W5 which would suit an NC35 in Mac foundation.

This is a real light weight foundation which gives prefect summer skin!

Price: €16.99

Makeup Studio Face it Contour Pallet.

I have talked about this before on my blog, I just adore this pallet. My two go to colours have to be the shade No.5 & Banana! The banana is my favourite under eye brightening concealer as the name suggests its a yellow toned concealer. On clients who may have darker under circles than I would I always use that light rose shade as it brightens up the undereye prefectly. I use my domed kabuki brush to bronze up my face with No.5 its just so gorgeous & easy to blend out. You can buy this shades separately so even grab two shades you love & pop them into a Z pallet. Too make it easier to travel with thats what I will be doing. But seriously this is one my most favourited makeup item that I own, I cant do my makeup without it.

Some people think cream bronzing/contouring is much heavier but it really doesn't have to be, I find this pallet gives me a much more natural & flawless finish than powders. Its my must have!!

PRICE:

pallet:€50

single shades: €15

Give me sun-MAC

This is the prefect bronzing powder for the summer, although if you are on the paler side this bronzer may look a little orangey so just try it out before buying. Even though I said I love to use cream products for a holiday look. I love to use this to warm up my face/contour. I also love love love this on its own as an eye shadow in the crease blended out so less hassle bring along lots of eyeshadows with you . As a powder it isn't drying at all on the skin it gives a beautiful natural finish on the skin.

Lashes/Mascara.
I have my semi permanent lashes which I'm addicted too, I would highly recommend getting them done for holidays they make looking glam so much easier you don't have to do anything.

Other than that I love my Benefit they're real mascara plus its water proof so great for holidays! If I hadn't gotten my lashes done I would definitely be taking that with me.

Anastasia Beverly hills dipbrow / Rimmel brow gel

I can't go any where with out my brows been done! Is that sad?? I adore my Dipbrow & couldn't be without it I use 'Medium brown' , If you feel the dip brow is a bit to high maintenance a nice colour brow gel is a quick and easy way to get perfectly groomed brows. I use the Rimmel one in the darker shade, but any one will do really.

Sleek Lip polishes SPF 15.

These lip polishes smell just like Cocoa butter its gorgeous, they are so hydrating on the lips & give the lips a gorgeous wash of colour. Plus they have a SPF 15 which people forget how important it is to protect their lips! working in a chemist I could tell you lots of horror stories of people coming into me with brunt & blistered lips.

I have two of these little beauties, a pink nude colour and then a more deep pink colour 'pink

LIPSTICKS & LINERS

For evening time I like to keep my eyes very simple but a bold lip is gorgeous with a natural looking makeup look. I love reds & oranges for bold summer lips, & for some more subtlety I love a peachy nude. (sorry they are all MAC, slight obsession)

Lasting sensation lipliner- MAC

Is a beautiful bright coral colour, I just loveeee it for summer!

So Chaud-MAC

I love this lipstick its so vibrant & summery, it is a beautiful matte Orange with red undertones.

Ruby Woo-MAC

Ruby woo is a blue based matte red lipstick which is going to make your choppers whiter than white. It is a prefect universal classic red. I love a red lip with a tan!

Peach blossom -MAC

This is a cremesheen lipstick one of my favorite mac finishes as it is lovely and hydrating & glossy but you will have to top it up. I love the colour of this lipstick it is the prefect summer nude its a gorgeous peachy pink colour! It is a prefect one to theme with your favourite nude lipliner. I love it with Boldy Bare lipliner also from MAC.
