HOW DO I KEEP MY MAKEUP FROM MELTING IN THE SUMMER?

INSIDE TIPS FOR EVERYDAY MAKE-UP ROUTINE – REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU ARE A NEWBIE OR EXPERIENCED IN THE MAKEUP WORLD

The change of seasons means your makeup routine has to change as well. The major makeup issues during the summer are the cakey foundations, smudged eyeliner, and let’s not talk about that shine. Thank goodness there are ways to mattify your makeup so that doesn’t move all-around all over your face. I want to make sure you enjoy the fun days of summer and not let your skin ruin your plans. I am giving 5 classic solutions for your summer makeup problems.

1. Use Less Makeup
Yes, you are reading this correctly less is better. As the temperatures continue to soar your makeup bag should get lighter and lighter. The less you wear the less dripping and dapping you will have to experience. Narrow down your products to what you need to assist with those humid days.

2. Try Concealer Instead of Foundation
Sometimes we can use concealer to spot conceal in the areas where needed. Spot concealing works for any skin type because you are only covering specific areas. Concealers usually contain fewer oils than foundations. This method mostly works for everyone. Laura Mercier has a great secret camouflage concealer that is good for all skin types. It leaves your skin looking natural and flawless the same as your long-wearing foundation.

3. Schick Silk Touch-Up Tool
What is a long-wear product? Like any beauty product throughout the day, it will fade. Long-wear products are usually composed of different formulas and ingredients that will keep the foundation longer than the average foundation. Estee Lauder’s Double wear foundation has been rated the best long-wearing foundation. This foundation is available in 56 shades no matter your skin tone there is a match suited for you.

4. Don’t Powder Just Blot
If you ask any makeup expert they will tell your powder and hot skin are two forces that do not go together. The powder will have a tendency of clinging to your pores making for a cakey mess. If you are shiny or if your makeup feels like it is running try using blotting paper (or even an absorbent paper towel will work). The blotting paper is good for soaking up any sweat without disturbing your makeup.

5. Get a Setting Spray
This is like the Holy Grail to finish off your makeup look. It is a mist that seals your makeup in place and will require a huge effort to remove. Every makeup artist will suggest that you do not go without a setting spray. The all-time favorite one is Urban Decay All-Nighter Long-Lasting Spray. This spray is like magic. Good for all skin types this spray will keep your makeup fresh, smudge-proof, and transfer-resistant for up to 16 hours.
