Summer is full of wonderful things—but melting foundation, smudged eyeliner, and super-sticky lipstick aren't one of them. That's why we'll tell you the best summer make-up tricks in the heat. You should use products that can keep your face looking natural, fresh and pretty even when you sweat on hot days.
Makeup tricks in the heat: Do your makeup in a cool room
Nothing is more uncomfortable and less productive than applying makeup in a hot room where your skin never seems to get completely dry. Luckily, there is easy help. First: turn up the air conditioning. If this is not possible, the use of a fan is recommended.
Purchase a small fan for your makeup area and turn the fan on up to 10 minutes before applying cosmetics. This will allow air to circulate in the room, providing greater comfort. Makeup glides over the skin more easily and you no longer have to struggle with slipping while you work.
What makeup to wear in summer?
The way you care for your skin is just as important as the makeup you apply. Use an oil-free moisturizer in the morning. This means your face is less likely to get oily throughout the day, especially in the heat.
Light make-up in summer - don't forget sunscreen
Sun protection should be a part of your regular routine all year round, but more care is required in the summer as we tend to sweat more. When you're outside in the sun, you should reapply every two hours or every time you get out of the pool or after sweating. Since reapplying throughout the day can be difficult, you can use a sunscreen spray to give you a boost of refreshment while protecting your skin from the sun.
Makeup tricks in the heat: Wear less makeup
If possible, only use a tinted moisturizer and concealer where you need it. Make-up tends to slip in the heat and the best way to avoid this is to apply less of it. In the blazing sun, a full face of makeup can feel heavy and even run. It's better to keep your makeup light rather than slathering it on. Wear onetinted moisturizer, apply a BB cream or face powder, or keep your skin bare and correct spots with your favorite concealer.
Make-up in summer with bronzer
Bronzer makes your eyes look brighter and your teeth whiter: everyone looks better when they add a little warmth to their skin. To keep the result looking fresh and natural, you should only apply the bronzer to the highest points of the face where the sun naturally falls - forehead, cheekbones, chin and nose.
Powder bronzers are the easiest to apply and don't slip as easily in the summer heat. Look for a product that contains different shades - they mix best together to achieve an authentic result. You can also apply a little bronzer to your neck to blend it out, especially if you have short hair or wear a ponytail.
Summer makeup – waterproof mascara
Even if you're not within sight of a pool or the shore, waterproof mascara isa must in summer. Mascara tends to smudge with sweat and moisture, but a waterproof formula helps set the product.
Make-up tricks in the heat: Fix eyeshadow
Are you tired of your eyeshadow slipping into your crease as soon as you leave the house? Then use your favorite liquid matte lipstick as eyeshadow and your eye makeup will last all day. You can also create a trendy monochromatic makeup look as the lipstick can also be used as a blush.
Swap heavy lipsticks for lip stains
Ditch your heavy, matte lipsticks for summer and trythe simplest trend of the seasonfrom: Lip Stains. These long-lasting formulas offer lightweight coverage that can be applied, making them very versatile. Lip stains are wonderful because you can always apply a lip balm to moisturize without worrying about the color fading. Try sweet pink or peach tones for a traditional summer look, or venture into tangerine and grape colors for something more daring.
Complete your makeup with a setting spray
Setting sprays are designed to extend the wear of your makeup by preventing it from fading, smudging or cracking, making them great products to protect your look from sweat. When you're done applying your makeup, you should set it with a setting spray as the final step.
If necessary, improve
No matter how well you apply your makeup in the heat, touch-ups are inevitable. First, cool down so as not to sweat. Then blot away any excess shine with a cosmetic blotting paper. Use a makeup brush or sponge to smooth out your BB cream and blush. If necessary, apply a dab of concealer under the eyes to brighten them and reapply to blemishes. Add a bit of powder and setting spray.
