The summer season is all about a little color on the lips and if you're like me, you tend to stick with soft pinks, peachy hues, and nudes. But what's the best brands to try for a longwear and hydrating formula? This is a question I get asked often and was actually inspired to write this post based on recent emails and DM requests. You'll often find each of these 4 lipsticks in my makeup bag and on rotation throughout the week.
So to take the guesswork out of your summer lip game, I've selected my tried-and-true nude and pink lipsticks for every occasion below.
I'm always curious to hear about other people's go-to's: do you have a signature shade that you swear by? xx Ashley ...
Medium Coverage Makeup Routine
The time for sun-kissed skin is here! And there's nothing prettier than a fresh, glowing complexion. In the summer, I take the less is more approach. However, being someone who does struggle with breakouts and uneven skin tone, I do need some coverage.
My skincare always takes priority, but in the summer, I focus more on keeping my skin balanced, clear and continue to use my SPF (this spray is amazing). I'll share more about my skincare routine later, but for today, let's talk summer makeup.
Oh and be sure to check out my Instagram Stories for a video on how I use these products! I'll be adding it to my highlights once it expires in case you miss it. ...

What I’m Loving From Sigma Beauty
My love affair with Sigma Beauty started long ago when I purchased the F80 Flat Kabuki Brush. One of my most used brushes to date! (but don't worry, I give it a good shampoo now and again.) We all know how expensive makeup brushes can be. And that is what initially peaked my interest in Sigma brushes. They have affordable options and several (thousand) positive reviews all over the internet. Being the curious gal I am, I purchased a few for myself. From the very beginning, I was very impressed with the quality and affordability of Sigma brushes. And to my surprise, I have had zero issues with these brushes. But have you tried their makeup? If not - you're in for a treat. ...
