Behind the Blush

makeup packing list

Janna •

Tomorrow I finally head off to Montreal with a bunch of friends in pursuit of hot weather, shopping, French food, exploration and ultimately the music festival Osheaga. I decided I should write up a makeup packing list to share my hot weather makeup tips with you and mostly, of course, to ensure I don’t forget anything – I am unashamed to admit I am blonde after all. Since I was graced with being of the super pale variety in combination with very oily skin, my philosophy for makeup in hot weather includes SPF, anything matte-ifying and a bold lip. Keep it simple but still put together. Lets be real…. I am a makeup artist so I probably have in my bag a dozen more things than the average female. To save some space in my luggage I decanted most of the products I am bound to use into small sample cups.  Traveling with me is my friend Kristina and she posted a blog post too with some festival packing lists so make sure to check it out!

Diorskin Shimmer Star in Amber Diamond, Sample size of Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer , cheek stains give oily skin the longest wear time of any blush I have ever tried. I am bringing along my 2 favourites of the moment: Jose Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee in Berry Bliss and Hourglass Aura Sheer Cheek Stain in Petal, and MAC Mineralize Blush in Warm Soul

To set all my makeup and make it waterproof I am bringing along my trusty Kryolan Setting Spray (not pictured

Lips

    I do not feel that this blog post was very useful to me.

    I know it’s an old article, but the colors are soo great! I feel them somehow summery, may be because they would be great for a sun kissed look!

well, we did it! we made it to spring and I am fin well, we did it! we made it to spring and I am finding myself wanting to share more of the past work that we loved being part of. We are so grateful to find ourselves busy for the beginning part of the year with us being part of so many beautiful weddings and client moments along the way. From this mermaid-inspired shoot to getting to attend and work on fun looks with clients for the Junos, it feels so creatively fulfilling 🧜‍♀️🫧 We can’t wait to see what the rest of 2023 brings!
