Summer Glow Beauty Must-Haves for Darker Skin Tones

So much thanks to Nordstrom for sponsoring this post and of course all opinions are my own

We are just a few days shy of being one month into summer. As the world slowly teeter-totters on fully opening back up and we crack open our front doors for what feels like the first time in months, you may feel like the lack of Vitamin D has left you a bit lackluster. No fear, my beautiful Queens and Kings; I'm partnering with Nordstrom to share my top 3 beauty must-haves to give you a luminous summertime glow.

It took me a while to find the perfect foundation for my combination skin. LANCÔME Teint Idole Ultra Liquid 24H Longwear came into my life just a few short months ago and has won over my heart and taken the spot of just about every foundation I owned. This full-coverage foundation is oil-free and comes in almost 50 different shades. My summer match is 500 Suede (c) and applies so velvety-smooth with any of my foundation brushes or makeup sponge. If you need a bit more protection from the sun, this foundation is also available with SPF15.

Now that you have your foundation on lock get into Laura Mercier's Translucent Loose Setting Powder Glow below. You read it right! This powder sets your concealer with a shimmery finish that brings out the "Golden Hour" glow at any time of day. The medium-deep shade complements more the gold or olive undertone of our skin tone.

Then there’s this beauty, Dior Addict Stellar Shine Lipstick, in 859 Diorifinity. Who wants to wear thick and heavy lipstick while trying their best to stay cool in the summer heat? This aloe vera infused lipstick glides on sheer with just enough vibrancy to subtlety steal the glow show. She comes in 23 shades, and if a lipstick isn’t your thing, the Dior Addict Stellar Gloss gives a spectacular mirror-effect with plumping-shine and ultra glossy finish.

The amazing part about these must-haves is that you can find them all in one place. Nordstrom has the convenience of online shopping and then picking up in-store. Either way, you’ll be summer-ready with my summer glow favorites.
