These handy beauty tips will help keep your makeup locked in place as summer hits its peak.
Prep and prime
Prepping your skin with a lightweight primer will keep your oil levels balanced and ease the application of the rest of your makeup — foundation will glide on seamlessly. While there are lots of different types of primers, mattifying primers are great in the summer as they help to reduce shine control sebum.
Waterproof everything
Would you want dark circles around your eyes from running eyeliner and mascara? Waterproof makeup will be your best friend this summer.
Lighten your layers
Adding layers of makeup in peak heat and humidity can clog your pores and trigger breakouts, so use lightweight, oil-free foundations and concealers to keep your skin looking fresh and hydrated.
Powder power
Set your makeup with a loose powder through the t-zone area to create a long-lasting look that won’t budge, even in the sweltering weather.
Setting spray
A good setting spray creates a shield to keep your makeup locked in place, even on the sunniest and sweatiest summer days.
Pack blotting paper
And if you find yourself sweating and ruining your perfect pout, keep blotting paper handy. It’s fantastic for absorbing oils and sweat that seeps through makeup.
