Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but the heat and humidity can wreak havoc on your makeup. Don’t let melting mascara and fading foundation ruin your poolside glow! Here are some summer makeup tips to keep your look fresh and flawless all day long.

Sunscreen: Your Summer Essential

Sun protection is crucial year-round, but especially important in the summer. For a fresh summer “no makeup” makeup, look for a tinted sunscreen with SPF 30 to even out your skin tone while safeguarding it from harmful UV rays. Choose a lightweight, breathable, mineral based formula that won’t feel greasy, clog your pores or or leave white residue.

Summer-Proof Eye Makeup

Hot weather can make eyeshadow crease and mascara smudge. To combat this, start with a primer specifically formulated for the delicate eye area. This will help your eyeshadow stay vibrant and prevent mascara from transferring to your upper lids. It can also be used on its own to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and crepiness. 

Adding Summer Dimension

A touch of bronzer can add warmth and dimension to your face. Look for a matte bronzer and apply it in light sweeps to your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline. This will give you a sun-kissed glow without looking cakey.

Keeping Lips Hydrated

Summer sun can zap moisture from your lips, leaving them dry and chapped. To keep your lips soft and kissable, apply a lip oil throughout the day. Look for a formula with SPF protection for added sun defense. Lip oil will also add a subtle sheen to your lips for a natural summer look.

Locking in Your Look

Finally, to ensure your summer makeup stays put all day, finish with a setting spray. This will create a barrier between your makeup and the elements, preventing it from melting or fading.
