The Toasty Makeup Routine We Can’t Stop Wearing

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

If summer had a signature look, it would be toasty makeup—warm, bronzed, and glowing like you just stepped out of golden hour. This sun-kissed routine blends cozy warmth with subtle glam, making it as wearable for an iced latte run as it is for date night. Think softly sculpted cheeks, a candlelit complexion, and eyes that smolder without trying too hard. And the best part? Toasty makeup isn’t just for August—it’s your year-round ticket to looking lit-from-within. Let’s break down exactly how to make it yours.

Complexion
The magic of toasty makeup begins with skin that appears to glow from within. Begin by drenching your skin in a rich, hydrating base—think IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream for that plush, bouncy feel. Keep coverage light and breathable with a sheer layer of foundation, blending it in with a damp sponge until it looks like your skin, but smoother. For that soft-focus warmth, lean into cream textures over powders—they melt in and keep everything dewy. Warm up your temples and cheekbones with a cream contour, then pop on a terracotta blush (we’re obsessed with Refy Blush in Rust for instant warmth). Finish with a sweep of golden highlighter across the high points for a lit-from-within shimmer.

Eyes & Lips
Keep your eyes warm and effortlessly smoldering with a swipe of bronzy cream shadow—blend it out softly across the lids and smudge a hint along the lower lash line for that just-right balance. Use a deep brown liner on your upper lash line, then gently smudge it with a brush or fingertip for a soft-focus smoky vibe. Layer on mascara to lift, lengthen, and frame those lashes without looking heavy. For lips, line with a medium brown pencil, slightly overlining to get that plush, kissable shape. Dab a creamy nude lipstick in the center and blend outward for a natural, soft finish that’s both inviting and understated.

The vibe? That perfect, toasted glow that feels warm, cozy, and absolutely wearable every day of the year.

💋 Kissed by Strawberries 🍓 A Flirty Flush You’ll Want All Over

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Strawberry season isn’t just for your smoothies—it’s for your makeup bag too. 🍓
The flirty flush we fell for last summer (hi, Hailey Bieber!) is back and sweeter than ever. This time, it’s a little dreamier—dewy skin, soft berry lips, and that fresh, just-bitten glow that looks like golden hour in makeup form. While guava girls may be vibing, strawberry beauty is still stealing hearts with its effortless charm. Easy to recreate, impossible not to love—this is your sign to bring the look back before the summer sun sets.

Scroll for the products I’m currently using to turn these cheeks into strawberries—who knows, maybe I’ll grab a real one too. 🍓😉

The Base 🍓✨

Strawberry makeup begins with skin that appears as if it has just drunk a tall glass of water. Hydration is key—so begin with a juicy primer or serum to get that lit-from-within glow. I like to follow it up with a lightweight moisturizer that melts right in (no pilling, no drama).

Skip the full-coverage foundation—this look calls for something breathable, like a skin-loving CC cream that lets your freckles peek through. Now for the blush moment: go for a creamy or liquid formula in a berry-kissed shade. I’m currently crushing on Saie’s Dew Blush in ‘Flirty’—tap it on the cheeks and across the bridge of your nose for that sun-kissed flush.

Finish it all off with a dewy setting spray (I’ve been misting the Dibs LoveBeam on like it’s perfume) to lock in the glow and give your skin that just-bitten, glowy finish.

Finishing Touches 🍓💋

Keep the rest of your makeup light and effortless—this look is all about those juicy cheeks doing the talking. On the eyes, skip anything too bold and sweep on a soft shimmer shadow (champagne, peach, or pinky-nude vibes only). Want a little more definition? Try a subtle tightline on the upper lash line—no one will know, but they’ll notice something.

A few swipes of your favorite mascara and a quick flick of brow gel to fluff and lift, and you’re halfway to berry bliss.

Now for the lips—aka the cherry (or strawberry) on top. Go in with a high-shine gloss in a berry-pink tint. I’m currently obsessed with the Laneige Glaze Craze—it’s glassy, plumping, and not even a little bit sticky. Just juicy enough to make your lips look kiss-me-ready.

Radiance, Unfiltered 🍓

Strawberry makeup isn’t just a trend—it’s a whole vibe. Soft, flushed, and effortlessly pretty, it’s the kind of look that makes you feel like you… just with an extra pop of color. Whether you’re heading to brunch, lounging bare-faced, or chasing golden hour, this sweet little routine brings the beauty (and the berries).

These are the exact products I’m using to get the look—because if I’m turning into a strawberry girl, I’m doing it right. 🍓😉

Selena Gomez’s Go-To Summer Glow — Straight from Her MUA

Published on by Lee2 Comments

When it comes to nailing that effortlessly sun-kissed summer vibe, no one does it quite like Selena Gomez. Thanks to celebrity makeup artist Jenna Nicole — the talent behind the faces of Brenda Song, Ashley Park, and more — we’ve got the inside scoop on Selena’s natural makeup routine. Spoiler: it’s a Rare Beauty lovefest. Think radiant skin, softly defined eyes, and a pop of pink on the cheeks — the kind of glow that looks like you, only better. Lightweight, breathable, and beginner-friendly, this look is as easy to recreate as it is to fall in love with. Consider this your summer skin cheat sheet.

Base

Start by evening out the complexion with your choice of Rare Beauty’s Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer for sheer, dewy coverage or the Liquid Touch Foundation if you prefer a bit more polish. A dab of Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer helps spot-correct while keeping things light and breathable. To lock it all in (without losing the glow), Jenna sweeps on the True To Myself Finishing Powder, blurring everything to a soft-focus finish.

Next comes the warmth: a kiss of bronzer dusted over the temples and cheekbones — not for harsh contouring, but for that believable, back-from-the-beach kind of radiance. For the cheeks, Jenna custom-mixes Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Worth and Virtue for a fresh, sunkissed flush. And the finishing touch? Faux freckles dotted across the nose and cheeks using a brown eyeliner — playful, effortless, and peak summer beauty.

Eyes & Lips

To softly sculpt the eyes while keeping things minimal, Jenna begins with Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Liquid Eyeshadow in Nearly Neutral, a warm neutral beige that creates a soft wash of color across the lids. For added depth, she layers on Armani Beauty Eye Tint in 22M Cashew, a warm, matte tan that blends seamlessly into the crease, subtly enhancing the eye’s natural shape. She tightlines the upper waterline with black eyeliner for quiet definition, then coats both top and bottom lashes in black mascara for a flirty, wide-eyed finish.

On the lips, Jenna maintains an effortless yet polished vibe. A deep pink lip pencil adds soft structure, then she finishes with one of two go-to summer staples. For a sheer flush of color with a hydrating feel, she reaches for the Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil in Serenity, a warm rose that delivers that fresh, just-bitten effect. For something a little more luminous, she swaps in the Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss in Glimmer — a rose gold gloss infused with champagne and rose gold pearls that catches the light just right. The overall look is easy, radiant, and summer-ready — the kind of makeup that works whether you’re on the beach or heading out for rooftop drinks.

Natural, radiant, and totally wearable — this is summer beauty, the Rare Beauty way.
