Hot Makeup tips for the Summer
Summer is the season of many activities–there’s just too much places to visit, parties to attend and people to meet. But with the soaring heat, your makeup might not be able to keep up with your plans. Well, not for long. Here we show you how to lighten up your face while still looking very put-together under the heat.
BARELY THERE BASE
Avoid the weather-worn mess by reducing your base routine to only what you really need. In most cases, you only need three. First is a primer, which holds makeup in place without feeling like an additional layer. Next is an oil-free moisturizer with SPF, as protection for your skin and to give you that balanced, dewey glow. And finally, a concealer to cover shadows and spots. In case your face gets too oily, just apply a little of some mineral powder.
SUN-KISSED EFFECT
For the most authentic, sun-kissed look, all you need is a good powder bronzer. Try to look for one with varying shades as they tend to blend better. Apply the bronzer on the high points of your face, where the sun naturally hits you: forehead, cheekbones, chin, and nose. Top it off with some neutral-colored blush.
GROOMED BROWS
Summer is the perfect excuse to not pay too much attention on your brows. A little grooming is more than enough. And if your brows are sparse, then opt for a water-resistant eyebrow pencil. Make sure you don’t go overboard, though.
GO FOR THE NUDES
Now’s the best time to take out the nudes and sheer versions of lip and eye colors. For the lips, shades like pale peach, baby pink, rosy mauve and coral work best. As for the eyes, Vanilla or gold shadow can give you good color without looking too made-up.
WATERPROOF IT
Eyeliners are great in the summer as they add instant pop to the eyes. However, there’s nothing worse than mid-day eyeliner blunders. Avoid the raccoon-eye look by investing in a waterproof eye product. Lash Factory has amazing waterproof eye products like the Fine Tip Liquid Eyeliner Goes that glides smoothly with its high-precision tip, giving your eyes the perfect definition while under the sun.
