My Favourite Cream Makeup Products For Summer...

A fresh, dewy, bronzed makeup menu is one of my favourite things about Summer and cream products are perfect for helping me achieve my dreams of having a glowing supermodel-esque complexion *insert the monkey with his hands over his mouth emoji* Being the beauty fanatic that I am, I of course, have a team of cream products for the cheeks as well as the eyes that can transform my dull skin into a mesmerising radiant complexion and it would be rude not to share them with you all...

Cheeks:
My top cream product discovery ever is the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand, a light vanilla hued cream highlighter that provides the most natural, fresh, dewy glow to the skin. It's a great one for dry/ dehydrated and mature skin as it makes the skin appear youthful and adds that natural glow back to the skin that can be lacking with drier skin types. The brand recently expanded the shade selection so there's now a peach, gold and pink shade in the range too - I have my eye on the peach or pink shade to use as a blush topper! They look dreamy!

Another cream highlighter favourite is my Hourglass Vanish Flash Highlighting Stick in Champagne Flash. A gorgeous champagne-hued highlighter that provides a frosty high-shine finish and a smooth buttery formula that glides onto the skin effortlessly. It can be sheered out or built up depending on the intensity you like and it packs a lovely glow to the skin either way.

I used to be so scared of cream blush but once I tried them I instantly fell in love with how fresh and dewy they make my complexion look! My current favourites are the Glossier Cloud Paints in Dusk and Beam. Dusk is a muted rosy brown nude shade that I can use as a 2-in1 blush and bronzer on my pale skin tone, whilst Beam is the perfect Summer peachy hue.

Eyes:

My favourite cream eyeshadow formula is the Charlotte Tilbury Eyes To Mesmerise cream shadows. I have the shades Star Gold*, a beautiful bronzey copper shade and Jean, a light champagne hue. The formula is so smooth and creamy, they're easy to apply and blend, making them a great quick eyeshadow option for when you're rushing out the door, and they have a dreamy glossy finish that makes the eye area look fresh and awake. I highly recommend!

Eyeshadow sticks are also a great quick and easy eyeshadow option and Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon in Amber Haze* is one of my favourites. It's a fab bronze shade with slight coppery undertones and a lovely shimmer finish!

I definitely have a thing for bronze eyeshadow sticks as they're perfect for an effortless everyday makeup look and another favourite of mine is the Rosie For Autograph Cream Eyeshadow Stick in Feline Fox. It's perfect for a Summer bronzed makeup look and it can be worn on its own for daytime or built up with other shadows for a smokey, sultry evening look.

For something a bit different to my usual neutral golds, browns, bronzes and champagne eyeshadows that I tend to reach for on a daily basis, I like to pull out my By Terry Ombre Blackstar in Frozen Quartz. It's a gorgeous pinky rose gold shade with a frost finish and it looks lovely paired with some purple shadows in the crease for an easy statement makeup look.
