Best face forward

Let me preface this by saying I am so not a makeup girl. I have friends that are, and their efforts at making me step out of the box from my normal routine have resulted in only minor changes. What can I say? (so, basically, I'm 16?)
What I can say about makeup is that I've gotten a bit better about incorporating two more products into my bronzer/blush/mascara/pink gloss/shimmery neautral shadow routine. And those two products are:

1. Red lips: Remember my analysis of how it would work out for me? Well, it worked. I love how you can sport red lips, mascara, a little blush, and nothing else, and still look completely put together. Currently, I'm sporting Lipstick Queen's "Saint Red", which is a glossy red from this fabulous brand to ease me into the trend. But my next purchase, for winter, will be a matte option.

2. Highlighter: Um, how has my almost-24-year-old self missed this product for so many years? Highlighter + bronzer = "No I didn't just return from the beach, but thank you". My makeup look of choice is a glowy, fresh-faced appearance, and with a little highlighter added into my daily routine, I've achieved just that like never before. To get Ashley's above look, I use Nars bronzer in Laguna, Nars Blush in Deep Throat for day or Orgasm for night, and Nars Highlighter.

So what do you think- got any more tips for a makeup shy girl for summer? I'd love to hear!
