Real Housewives of New Jersey Spring + Summer Makeup Finds

Over the past couple of seasons the Real Housewives of New Jersey have become synonymous with Spring and Summer trips to the Jersey Shore. And due to that we’ve been lucky enough to get a look at what they pack in their makeup bags for their warm weather looks. So while we’ve recently gotten a look at their fab reunion dresses, we find their beauty finds far more wearable.

As usual, many of the products the Housewives use are available from Nordstrom Beauty, which is a one stop shop for luxury beauty items. With the seasons changing I’m updating my makeup, and those updates have included some of the favorites below (I’ll put an asterisk next to the items I’ve bought after seeing them on the ‘Wives and love).

As always, happy shopping.

 

The Realest Housewife,

Big Blonde Hair

Here’s Why: A bold brow and a bronze is where it’s at for summer. Shop the Housewives loved Benefit Hoola Bronzer* + Anastasia Brow Pomade we spotted Jennifer Aydin using // Start Spring with a shimmer using Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter Highlighter + Primer like Jackie Goldschneider. This is one of 2022’s hottest items (it was sold out in store when I tried to scoop it up recently!) //Vida Liberata Body Blur is a skin perfector that Margaret Josephs also uses on her face, according to BravoTV.com. A genius idea for a time when we’re showing more skin// Before a big Reunion, MUA Nikki Kasask used Shiseido Wrinkle Reducing Smoothing Eye Masks to help minimize under-eye wrinkles on Dolores Catania. No matter the season, anything that makes us look like Dolores is on our shopping list // Though Teresa Giudice has a lot of products on her vanity, she chose to bring her Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream Facial Moisturizer with her to the shore last season. And as soon as we saw her using it in action, we knew this was a beauty splurge we could get behind// Melissa Gorga always looks flawless, and we love her Charlotte Tilbury Chic to Cheek Blush for a summer glow along with her Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Setting Powder* to reduce shine in warmer temps (it’s a Real Housewives favorite that I’ve recently added to my rotation). Put it on top of It! Cosmetics buildable CC Cream* with SPF50 (I own this and it’s perfect for light summer coverage and sun protection) and add one of Melissa’s go-to gloss shades, MAC Oyster Girl, and you’ll be totally set to shimmer without that pesky summer shine.

I definitely end up buying a lot of Real Housewives-inspired beauty items, even more so than their clothing. And like the ‘Wives, my makeup collection is very Charlotte Tilbury heavy, which is no coincidence. These are the CT products I have come to love and use as part of my regular rotation!
