START WITH TINTED MOISTURIZER

For the dog days of summer, ditch the heavy foundations and instead opt for tinted moisturizers. They help provide an effortless complexion with a fresh glow.

THE BRUSH  MAKES A DIFFERENCE

It’s unbelievably soft, and the wide and soft bristles are easy on the skin – no irritation here. And don’t forget to ~spread the love~ it can be used on your body to make you glow all over!
