Back to Routine, Back to Glow 🌿

Finding your way back to your skincare and makeup routine after summer ✨

Hi everyone, Camilla here again 🤍

We're already in August, and for many of us it's time to get back into our everyday routines after summer and vacation.

During the summer I know I usually wear less makeup and sometimes I'm a little more relaxed with my skincare too. But honestly, your routine doesn't have to be complicated or include ten different steps. Today I'm sharing a simple three-step skincare routine that works perfectly when you're getting back into your daily rhythm, together with an easy everyday makeup look that feels fresh, natural and glowy.

🌿 Three simple skincare steps

I always start by cleansing my face with CLEAN BREAK Cleansing Foam. It's a soft, gentle foam that cleanses the skin while leaving it feeling fresh, soft and hydrated. Next I apply THIRST TRAP Hydrating Serum, which gives my skin plenty of hydration and a beautiful healthy glow. Finally I finish with Glow On Day Cream, which leaves the skin feeling smooth, refreshed and glowing.

Three simple steps that take just a few minutes but leave your skin perfectly prepped for makeup.

💄 My everyday base

For foundation I use Mineral Liquid Foundation, which gives a natural matte finish while still looking lightweight on the skin. I like applying it with a sponge to remove any excess product, and if I want a little more coverage I simply build it up where I need it. It's honestly one of my favorite everyday foundations because it lasts all day without feeling heavy.

Under my eyes and on my eyelids I use a little Creme Foundation "Cream" to brighten the eye area and make me look a little more awake.

Then I set my whole face with Setting Powder. I also love that it comes in so many shades, so there's a match for every skin tone.

☀️ Soft warmth for everyday

For my brows I use the Brow Pen "Blonde", which is such a great match for me. I really love the fine tip because it makes filling in the brows so quick and easy.

Since I still have a little bit of my summer tan left, I chose a slightly warmer bronzer shade this time and used Hyperflex Shadow "Honung".

One tip! that really helps me is never applying the product directly from the brush onto my face. Instead, I pick up product with the brush, work it into the back of my hand first, and then gently dab it onto the skin. I don't really sweep it across my face. I softly press or tap it into the skin instead. I find that this gives a much smoother finish and helps avoid patchiness.

For blush I use Hyperflex Shadow "Nykär", applying it the same way as the bronzer.

✨ A soft everyday eye

For the eyes I wanted something soft and easy.

I spray a little Balance Bae Face Mist into the cap, dip a thin eyeliner brush into the mist and then pick up Hyperflex Shadow "Honung" the same shade I used as bronzer. Then I simply create a soft eyeliner in whatever shape I feel like that day.

If your skin tone is different from mine, just choose the bronzer shade that suits you best and use that as your eyeliner too. I love using one product in different ways.

To finish the eyes I apply Hyperflex Shimmer Shadow "Camelia" all over the lid for a soft glow.

💋 Finishing touches

On my lips I use the Nostalgia Lip Pen "Mocha", then blend it softly with a brush so the transition looks natural instead of having a harsh line. After that I apply Kiss Me Mow Lipstick "Barcelona".

The very last step is always Balance Bae Face Mist, which gives extra hydration while helping my makeup last even longer throughout the day.
