Bare Escentuals Bare MInerals Faux and Foxy Collection

I loved a bronzed beach babe. With summer around the corner, get a foxy sunkissed look instantly without causing actual sun-damage to your skin. The Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Faux and Foxy collection is a 3-piece set that will get you glowing all the way to the beach.

Get a tan with sun protection by buffing on the All-over Face Color SPF 15 in Faux Tan with the portable Buff and Go™ Brush. But dont forget to also protect your perfect pout with the 100% Natural Lipgloss with SPF 15 in French Toast. Once you’re all set with your beach face of the day, hit the waters in your itsy bitsy yellow polka dot biniki and make a splash!

I seem to have come full circle and reignited the obsession with mineral make up. (I blame it on Rachel K’s mineral make up really.) But when I first got into mineral make up it was its paraben-free, sulfate-free, lack of synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes formulated and a whole bunch of other harsh chemicals that got me hooked.

But nevertheless, Bare Escentuals Faux and Foxy collection is ready to get you glowing!

With the intense heat these days, the perfect place to spend and pretend it’s summer is the beach. You’ve got your favourite swimwear, beach towel and sunblock. But just as you’re about to go out, you wonder, OH NO, DO I NEED BEACH MAKEUP too?

I fully subscribe to the idea of wearing makeup when you’re going to the beach. You really, don’t know who’s going to be taking your pictures or you might even spot a beach hunk playing beach volleyball with his hot friends. Haha. But seriously, most foundations come with sunblock, so that’s the ONE reason why you should wear makeup especially if you don’t religiously apply sunblock daily. The key when wearing makeup on the beach is to ensure everything is waterproof.

So when I went to Sentosa recently for a shoot, everything had to be “insured”. Insured with primers, that is.

Here’s the breakdown for the beach look I did:

Face
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
M.A.C Studio Fix foundation
M.A.C Studio Sculpt Concealer
M.A.C Pinch-o-peach blush
M.A.C Dsquared Sculpt and Shape powder in Accentuate Sculpt

Eyes
NARS Eyeshadow in Pandora
M.A.C Paint Pot in Rubenesque
M.A.C Royal Assets in Smokey Eyes
Everyday Minerals eyeshadow in Hoodie
Majolica Majorca eyeshadow palette in GR750
Maybelline Define-a-lash mascara (review here)
Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing mascara

Lips
Smashbox Oplump Lip plumper

Would you believe me if I told you that this face was the one I did for the photo in the banner above? :D
