Honest Thoughts on the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer

A little makeup primer goes a long way, especially in summer humidity. I tested out the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer to see if it’d help with makeup longevity. The Hydro Grip Primer is a silicone-free, oil-free formula, intended to blend in clear and work on all skin types. Skin-plumping hemp-derived cannabis seed extract provide the eponymous “hydro” shot. Beyond that, an aloe water, cherry blossom, hyaluronic acid base, blended with B vitamins, “boost skin for a healthier-looking base and a glassy, post-hot-yoga-class glow.” Read my honest review on Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer here!

Makeup to Boost Your Mood

It can sometimes feel pretty pointless to get dressed up and made up to sit at home. Even before social distancing, this was a question on my mind as I worked from home. However, there’s something to be said for keeping a bit of a routine and getting ready for the day so you feel good about yourself. This has been especially important to me, lately, with social distancing. I’ve found that, whether I’m inspired from boredom or want to perk myself up, doing a bit of makeup can really help. Check out my favorite makeup to boost your mood here!

Great Beauty Finds: Products for Natural Makeup Looks

Lately, I’ve been rejuvenating my makeup collection. I’m swapping products that no longer work for me with those that are simple, easy to use, and effective. I don’t like wearing a full face of makeup often, so I generally stick to a tinted moisturizer, sunscreen, and a bit of powder for a typical day. Between my go-to powder foundation and the three base tinted moisturizers listed here, I always feel put together. Read on for details on my current great beauty finds that you’re going to love!
