Summer Makeup Tips

Summer is here and still in full swing. There are a number of opportunities that you’ll have to go out and enjoy the summer season; day trips to the beach, morning jogs, hiking, pool parties, and late night dinners. No matter what it is you’re looking to pursue this summer, you don’t want your makeup to run down with the summer heat. Here are a few tips we’ve compiled to help your makeup beat the heat!

Invest in a primer.

This summer, we advise that you invest in a face primer. Primer is typically applied after you moisturize your face, and it’s definitely the way to go during the summertime. They’re not a heavy application, and even though it’s looked at as an extra layer, you won’t feel it on your face! Primer helps you’re your makeup looking fresh and natural.

Keep it light.

We thrive on the idea of “less is more” especially in the summertime. Steer away from a heavy foundation, and replace it with a tinted moisturizer and a little concealer when needed. Makeup moves when it’s hot or wet, so the best way to avoid unwanted spreading is to wear less of it.

Make your eyeshadow stay.

Humidity, moisture, and perspiration are more of an issue in the summertime for makeup wearers. If you want long-lasting eyeshadow, avoid using eye cream on your eyelids. Eye cream can break down makeup. Instead, smooth on an eye primer, which will help keep your eyeshadow intact.

Play with color.

Summertime is a great opportunity for you to experiment with fun colors. Livelier colors brighten the face and bring out a youthful glow. So this summer, why not try a light-blue tint to your eyeshadow or some bright blushes and lipsticks.

Waterproof is the way to go.

Waterproof mascara is the way to go during the summertime. Waterproof mascara is also a great option if you want to go swimming or participate in water activities. Waterproof makeup won’t run and leaves everything in its place so your makeup won’t stop you from having some fun in the sun!
