Beauty Products for your Father’s Day Outings

As we hit the end of May, we realize that Father’s Day is just a short ways away. The second best part of this day, beyond actually being able to spend time with your father/showing him your appreciation, is the lovely Instagram photo that comes with the celebration. And, since a lot of us choose to spend our time in the outdoors with our fathers, I knew it could be useful to give you a beauty guide that incorporated essentials for your Father’s Day outings! These are all items that I have been using religiously as of recent. Here are the items to grab before June 17th:

Now here’s something that works for both you and Dad and will make you both glow in your pictures together! Beyond this, it’s perfect for those of you who are spending all or majority of Father’s Day outdoors.
I personally began using this not too long ago, but I’ve already seen such a big difference between this and my older face sunscreens. This one glides on to make your face feel like one smooth surface afterwards and is both lightweight and effective, unlike many other heavy and overly creamy sunscreens or face lotions. I’d definitely recommend investing in this if you want sun protection–in fact just a little of this product goes a long way!

This one has also got a bit of SPF in it, but I’d still recommend using a sunscreen lotion prior to application for days when you’re out in the sun. The reason I recommend this over a foundation for Father’s Day is because I find that using this gives you a much more natural looking finish–and let’s face it, you don’t want to look to caked up when sitting/standing next to your gorgeous (probably, but not always, bare faced) Dad, right? Even though this feels light as a feather and like heaven when you put it on, it still does a great job of evening out your skin tone!

I always say that if I had to choose only one item from my beauty box, it would be a good mascara. Not just because of what it does for the eyelashes, but also because you can use it for your eyebrows and even for flyaways in your hair! This is the one that I’ve been using for over a year now and I often get complements on how my lashes look (fact: I actually never use false lashes)! I’d suggest using this multi-purpose tool while getting photo ready for Father’s Day because it’s quick and really makes your eyes pop (not to mention it’s cross functional)!

When summer comes around, I always prefer highlighting over contouring to give a good summer glow. In fact, I hardly ever contour these days! When it comes to Father’s Day, I think this is the perfect highlighter to use because it’s subtle (if you don’t overdo it) and super blend-able so that it will look like you have a natural sheen to your skin. Plus, rolling it on is the best feeling ever! Honestly, the only reason I thought about this item is because personally, my father has super..umm… SHINY (haha actually, slightly oily) skin, and I don’t want to pale in comparison! In all seriousness, whether Father’s Day or not, if you don’t have this item it’s time to hop on board, even if you’re not a makeup lover. Trust me, it’ll come in handy and totally brighten your look! Click on this link here or on the image above to get the Benefit Watts Up Highlighter!

Yet another tool that serves more than one purpose, Dior’s blush has given me an amazing pink and healthy looking glow to my cheeks, but also works well for me as an eye shadow on my rushed days. Why is it the beauty essential for Father’s Day? Because I presume you’ll actually give up the pouting for the day and actually SMILE in the photo (thus, showing off the blush on the apples of your cheeks)! I should mention, that I think with any blush, the key is to find the right shade. The one Dior shade that I own and have been using is just right for me, however, there is one particular shade that I think would work great on any skin tone, and that’s the one I’ve shown and linked to above and here.

On the whole, these are the five items I most recommend for a simple Father’s Day look. I myself and not a huge proponent for using too many makeup products, but if you were to add a few more in creating your look for Father’s Day, I’d definitely say a lipstick (bright color) would do you good!
