Canada Day Sheer Summer Look with CoverFX {Giveaway CLOSED}

Posted on June 27, 2012November 15, 2015 by Elaine

No doubt in this weather we’re wearing lighter layers – well the same should go for our makeup. Cover FX (a Canadian company – yay!) products are great for providing sheer but effective coverage with everything from SPF primers, healthy foundations and sheer bronzers for that sun kissed glow.

How do you perfect this sheer summer look? 3 easy steps is all it’ll take.

Step 1: BritePrep FX Brightening Foundation Primer

BRITE_PREP_FX

This primer is great for brightening the skin and blurring the appearance of fine lines and pores (visible pores are definitely one of my issues!).  A primer is perfect for making sure your foundation blends easily and stays put on those hot and humid days. This primer also has an SPF of 50 so you’re sure to be protected!
  
Step 2: SkinTint FX Treatment and Tinted Moisturizer

SkinTintFX_EN 

 Great for all skin types this oil and paraben free foundation is water resistant! As a bonus it also contains skin repairing ingredients to promote anti-aging and skin firming – it also contains Bisabodo which is the main ingredient of the chamomile plant so this product is also anti-inflammatory and it can protect and reduce any skin irriations or sensitivities.

Step 3: Bronzed FX Mineral Bronzing Powder       

BronzedFX

Now for the last step try out a bronzer to get that sun-kissed look – you can use this product on the face or the body!

Bonus Step: For your lips: MintTint FX Tinted Anti-aging Lip Glaze

Coral_Chablis

Now that your skin is all glowy highlight it with a soft pink gloss. This product is not just a gloss but a moisturizing lip treatment and a primer!

Just in time for Canada Day CoverFX is offering my Canadian and US readers a chance to win everything you need get the perfect face this summer!
All you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below.  Good luck!

How is this type of thing still happening, even in the age of AI? If a high-tech “smart tool” can’t properly recognize and accommodate diverse skin tones, then it needs further development and should not yet be released. End of story. 

Use your purchasing power to support brands that are inclusive in their product development, testing, promotion, AND corporate structure. Every action has impact.

Their Soft Smudge Lip & Cheek stick is incredible. A cream-to-powder formula(!!!!), this baby is buildable, blendable, and beautiful. 

Plus, with just a drop of KJH.Brand Hyper Shine Serum, it transforms into a glossy, rich sheen of luxurious color. 

I’ve used it on my eyes, lips, and cheeks in both glossy and matte textures, and love it each time. It’s genuinely like having 5 products in one. 😍
