Summer Glow: An Updated Everyday Makeup Routine

In this video, Sid shares an updated, summer-focused makeup routine designed to be long-lasting, glowy, and dewy. Filmed from a hotel room, the tutorial emphasizes a natural aesthetic perfect for warmer weather, while also touching upon skincare struggles and personal product preferences.

Skincare and Preparation

Before applying makeup, Sid highlights the importance of a solid base. She starts with the Mario Badescu facial spray containing aloe and chamomile, though she humorously questions whether such sprays are effective or merely a "gimmick."

She then emphasizes the necessity of hydration using the Peach and Lily Glass Gel Moisturizer. For sun protection, she has transitioned to the Supergoop Glow Stick, noting that it feels like "putting butter on my skin" in a positive way. These steps are crucial for maintaining the "glowy and dewy" finish she aims for throughout the day.

Complexion and Concealing

For base coverage, Sid opts for the Rare Beauty tinted moisturizer, which she applies with an IT Cosmetics all-over brush. She finds this provides a light, natural finish that helps color-match her face to her body tan.

Regarding blemishes, she utilizes the Tarte Shape Tape concealer, specifically the mini version, which she admits is not "cost-effective" but enjoys for its aesthetic appeal. She also mixes in Pro Conceal High Definition concealer to brighten her under-eye area. During this segment, she candidly mentions her struggle with "back acne," expressing how it previously caused significant insecurity and led her to avoid wearing open-back clothing, signaling a vulnerable moment of transparency with her audience.

Sculpting and Finishing Touches

To set the makeup, Sid relies on the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder, a staple in her routine for the past year. For dimension, she uses a Persona stick contour to carve out her cheekbones and forehead, blending the product with her fingers for a seamless look.

Her "crucial" step for a summer aesthetic is the Rare Beauty cream blush. She stresses that "the blush is the main point of my makeup," often applying the excess to her lips to ensure a "cohesive" look. She completes the base with Fresh Beauty’s Sugar Chapstick and a touch of Glossier Futuredew on the brow bones for added highlight.

Eyes and Final Details

Sid keeps her eye makeup subtle, experimenting with the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk palette by applying a "shimmery champagne gold color" to her lids. To define her eyes without the harshness of liquid liner, she uses a chocolate brown shade from the Tartelette Bloom palette with an angled brush to create a "tiny little wing."

Finally, she curls her lashes and applies Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara, ensuring the look is durable for summer conditions. The result is a fresh, "good enough" everyday look that balances practicality with a radiant finish.
