Make-up mistakes in summer: skipping moisturizer
Even if your skin isn't as dry as it was when there was snow, that's no reason to skip moisturizing. If you have oily skin or a mix of both, you should moisturize your face every day.
Do not apply face cream with sun protection factor
Remember to use a face cream with a high SPF. The sun's UV rays are particularly damaging to the skin in the summer months. It becomes dry and pigment spots form. By the way: Many BB creams contain ingredients that protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun's rays.
Do not use primer
A good primer is essential if you want to preventthat your makeupslips off your face throughout the day. Choose a formula that doesn't contain oil and spread a pea-sized amount onto your face. Use a product with a mattifying finish if you have oily skin or an oily T-zone on your face. Water-based primers are also an excellent choice for this time of year as they hydrate your skin while reducing shine. Don't forget that eye makeup primers also help set your look, so don't leave them out of your routine.
Wrong foundation as a make-up mistake in summer
Are you still using the same foundation you used in January? You should stop doing this. Even if you don't spend much time outdoors, there's a good chance your skin will tan. If you use a foundation that is too light for your skin tone, your complexion will appear ashy and gray. Instead, adjust the color again so that everything appears as one piece. If you don't want to buy a new foundation right away, you can darken your existing shade with foundation drops. This saves you time and money.
Don't switch to a waterproof mascara
Should you apply a waterproof product even if you don't plan to wear a bikini or go swimming? The hot and humid weather can just as easily cause your regular mascara to run down your face. Even if you are at work, you should play it safe and use a waterproof mascara. This way you don't have to worry about getting panda eyes all summer long.
Do not apply waterproof makeup
Some types of makeup formulas are more suited to the warm weather than others. When buying new products, make sure that the makeup is labeled as sweat-proof and waterproof - for example, you can buy waterproof eyeliner.
Using too much bronzer
An excess of bronzer is perhaps one of the worst beauty mistakes of the summer as it can completely ruin your appearance. The shade of bronzer you use is very important, but you also need to be very careful about where you apply it on your body and how much of it you use. Bronzer should not be applied all over the face at once! Instead, apply it to the parts of the body that are usually tanned by the sun, such as the nose, temples, forehead and neck.
Using incorrect formulas
Powders are usually the first thing people use at the first sign of sweating. However, powder and sweat don't mix particularly well. No matter how much you sweat, cream-based eyeshadow, blush, and bronzer won't clump on your lids. When it comes to eyeliner, it's best to use liquid versions and not pencils to prevent smudging. In the heattend to lipsticksmore likely to bleed and smear than otherwise. It is recommended to choose liquid formulations as they last longer.
If you absolutely must use a setting powder, you should apply it carefully and follow the instructions carefully. You can also use a setting spray to set your makeup and prevent shine. If you have normal to dry skin, you can skip powder and spray altogether. Instead, you can use blots to remove excess oil that builds up throughout the day.
No make-up on the neck area
Another useful piece of advice for thatApplying makeup, which can be used at any time of the year, is to also apply and blend the foundation into the neck area. This is especially important in the warmer months. Whether you use a liquid foundation, tinted moisturizer, BB or CC cream, make sure the product you use on the neck area is well blended.
