Summer is here, and while we all adore the sunshine and beach vibes, the heat can be a real party pooper for our makeup. But fear not! With a few expert tips and tricks, you can keep your look flawless and sweat-proof even on the hottest days. The key to sweat-proof makeup starts with prepping your skin.
Cleanse your face thoroughly to get rid of any oils and impurities. Next, hydrate your skin with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. This ensures your skin is plump and ready for makeup without adding extra shine.
Primer is your best friend in the summer. Opt for a mattifying or sweat-proof primer to create a smooth base and control oil throughout the day. Apply it to your T-zone and any areas where you tend to get shiny.
This step is crucial for keeping your makeup in place. When it comes to foundation, less is more. Choose a long-wear, oil-free, and sweat-resistant foundation.
Look for keywords like “matte,” “long-lasting,” and “waterproof” on the label. Apply it sparingly with a damp beauty sponge for a natural, lightweight finish. For those pesky blemishes and dark circles, use a long-wear concealer.
Dab it on and blend it out gently. To lock everything in place, set your foundation and concealer with a translucent setting powder. This helps absorb excess oil and keeps your base looking fresh.
Cream-based products are a summer must-have. They blend seamlessly into the skin and last longer than powders. Use cream blush, bronzer, and highlighter for a dewy, nat.
