Summer Beauty Fixes: Smashbox, Lumene

July 1, 2015 by Juliann

Summer rules…but greasy skin and flat hair DON’T. I would like to share with you some of my favorite products that will help you to fix a couple of these “Summer Bummer” beauty issues!

PROBLEM: Greasy, sweaty, shiny skin

SOLUTION: Poreless, sweatproof, matte skin

Getting gorgeous, poreless skin and flawless makeup application starts with a great primer! Here, two choices (PLUS hybrid Westmore Foundation!) that not only protect and mattify, BUT also give skin a ridiculous Barbie-No Pores-Look that we all want! Just pat on do not rub (to prevent balling up) and go!

Smashbox Photo Finish Primers– $36 each / Lumene Bright Now Blur Line & Pore Minimizer – $19.99 / Westmore Coverage Perfector 2-in-1 Foundation – $32 

I received samples of the Blemish Control Photo Finish Primer as well as the Westmore Coverage Perfector 2-in-1 Foundation to review. I start out with a freshly cleaned face. Next, I apply my Smashbox Photo Finish Blemish Control Primer which is perfect for my oil-prone skin. After the primer has set, I apply my Westmore Coverage Perfector 2-in-1 Foundation all over my face, neck and cleavage area. (I prefer to blend my foundation with my fingertips, while others prefer a brush.) I am in love with this new foundation because it really stays put, and covers my freckles and imperfections seamlessly. My pores and tiny lines vanish, leaving me with a perfect complexion. This formula does not sweat off, and I was very impressed because this is one of the warmest summers we have had in a long time.  This is definitely one of the best foundations I have ever tried!

In this picture, I am actually sweltering because we have no air conditioner, but at least my skin doesn’t look like an oil slick thanks to these amazing products!

About This Blog

Juliann, founder of Beautiful Moms

Welcome to Beautiful Moms!

Hi! I'm Juliann, wife of 33 years to Jon, a mom to four amazing children, and a proud grandma to five precious little ones. I live in Oregon.

When I started Beautiful Moms in 2008, my goal was to connect with other moms who were also raising young children. It became a creative outlet for me to share my thoughts on motherhood, review products I loved, and work with brands that help make family life a little easier.

More importantly, I wanted moms to feel seen. It's so easy to lose ourselves in the demands of caring for everyone else and forget that our own well-being matters, too. Every mom deserves to feel beautiful, valued, and appreciated, no matter what stage of motherhood she's in.

Over the years, Beautiful Moms has evolved right along with me. My children are now all grown up, and I'm blessed to be a grandma.

Life changes so quickly

One thing that hasn't changed is my passion for encouraging other moms—it's simply expanded to include every season of motherhood—from pregnancy and baby's first years to raising teens, becoming an empty nester, navigating healthy aging, and everything in between.


Myelie, contributor at Beautiful Moms

I'm excited to have my daughter, Myelie, join the Beautiful Moms team as a new contributor. As the mom of a newborn and a busy toddler, she brings a fresh perspective on modern motherhood.

She lives in Alabama with her military husband, so she also understands the unique challenges of military life, frequent moves, and building a happy home wherever life takes you.

Together, we're here to support moms through every age and stage of motherhood—from pregnancy to menopause—with helpful advice, product recommendations, beauty and wellness tips, and plenty of encouragement along the way. Plus more!

We are PR-friendly and love working with great companies!
