There is something well-nigh summer that has me doing a well-constructed inspect of my makeup kit in the quest to create a summer makeup squint that stays on all day. I want it to be fresh, effortless and glowy and I don’t want to have to reapply everything considering it’s slid off my squatter by mid-morning.
This squint features products I’ve talked well-nigh before, including plenty of Trinny London products. You can play reservation up with previous Trinny London makeup posts HERE.
It moreover includes other brands, things I’ve found by wrecking – by playing – or via recommendations I’ve checked out.
The key thing to note well-nigh my everyday makeup squint is that I’m not trying to imbricate everything up. I want my skin to be seen under my makeup. Every product I use is cream-based – a major shift I made in recent years. It suits and feels largest on my menopausal skin.
Speaking of skin. Tempting as it might be to spend money on new makeup, I finger it’s weightier to squint at your skincare regime first. If you’re not happy with how your skin is looking then that would be my starting point. Here’s a squint at my skincare routine. I’ve made some slight changes to the serums used (Vitamin C in the morning; and this one at night) but otherwise it’s still the same. I’ll do a full and thorough update soon. In short, my translating remains the same … tread softly with zippy ingredients, too much hydration is never unbearable and enlist the help of a skin therapist who will treat your individual skin, not just do cookie-cutter treatments.
My summer makeup squint unelevated is one that I’ve been popping on to make me finger a little fresh to squatter the day ahead. It’s moreover one that I’ve worn for unstudied summer catch-ups. For photoshoots and events, I undeniability on the expertise of my hair and makeup artist, Dale Dorning. I’m going to be doing a increasingly made-up squint tutorial with Dale in the coming months so stay tuned. He really is a genius and has years and years of idealism work under his belt. I’m lucky to have him! Oh the stories he could tell. For me, he understands a mature skin and how to bring out the weightier for whatever the photo or video shoot.
Have a watch and a listen below. I share answers to your questions as well as a quick squint at the products I’m using for this summer makeup squint that stays put.

The key transpiration to this squint from previous looks I’ve shared is the foundation. I talk well-nigh my foundation “journey” HERE. There are a couple mentioned in that post that are the perfect for full coverage (which I squint to for events and photoshoots) but I was still searching for the holy grail everyday medium coverage but long-lasting formula.
Then I listened to this You Beauty podcast. When Leigh Campbell nominated Estee Lauder Double Wear Sheer Long-Wear Makeup as one of her top products for 2021 I widow to cart immediately and it’s rarely been off my squatter since. As always, if you’re happy with the foundation product you once use, no need to transpiration things up. Just remember our skin does transpiration over time and what served us five years ago might not work now.
