Hey there, makeup enthusiasts! Ready to conquer the scorching summer while looking absolutely stunning? I'm here to share with you some seriously life-saving tips to keep your face looking fab even when the temperatures are high and the humidity is, like, through the roof. These tried-and-true techniques have saved me and my clients countless times, and now I'm sharing them with you. Get ready to slay!
Lock it in with a Stellar Setting Spray!
I'm not joking when I say that a good setting spray can be your best friend during the hot summer months. It helps keep your makeup in place and looking fresh, even when you're sweating your face off. In my kit, I use Ben Nye Final Seal, for at-home use I recommend Urban Decay’s All Nighter or SuperGoop!’s Refresh Setting Spray with SPF. There are loads of fantastic options out there, just remember a good shake and a 6-inch distance from your face are key to making it work wonders!Lighten Up Your Foundation Game
Say goodbye to heavy, suffocating foundations this season. Opt for something lighter to let your skin breathe and feel fabulous in the sun. Swap out full coverage for a tinted moisturizer or BB cream, providing a natural, even complexion without the weight. I love Chanel’s CC cream myself, and the Tinted Face Oil from Kosas is another great option.Dare to Go Without Powder!
Powder might be your go-to for shine control, but it can be a buzzkill on hot days, leaving your skin feeling dry and cakey. Ditch the powder and embrace blotting papers to banish excess oil and shine while maintaining a stunning matte finish. Try Tatcha’s Blotting Sheets or the Matte Blotting Paper from NYX.Waterproof Everything - No Exceptions!
Waterproof mascara and eyeliner are obvious choices for summer, but why stop there? Upgrade your entire makeup arsenal to waterproof versions, including foundation, concealer, and brow products. This way, your makeup will stay put even during swims or intense workouts. Don’t want to overhaul your entire makeup bag? Try using MAKE UP FOR EVER’s Aqua Seal, a few drops of this mixed into almost any product and it’s instantly waterproof.Sun-Kissed and Sun-Protected!
Don't forget the cardinal rule: SPF is your best friend. Shield your skin from harmful sun rays with a sunscreen of at least SPF 30. Remember to reapply throughout the day to stay protected. For an extra layer of defense, look for makeup products that include built-in SPF, like your foundation or skin prep products. I love layering SuperGoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen under my foundation and on-top of my skin care.
