Summer Makeup Tips!

During hot weather we want to look our best but once we start sweating the look isn't cute. If you're sweating or naturally have oily skin here are some tips to help your foundation and makeup last longer.

TIP: Moisturize! Helps keep your skin hydrated.  If you have dry skin, I'm talking to you especially.  Your foundation won't dry up and give you those patches no one wants! (If you have oil to combo skin, also moisturize but use a light lotion)
I Recommed:. Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion 

TIP: Use a primer! It helps even out your face to allow your foundation to sit on a balanced surface. It also helps with dry or oily skin, so your foundation will last longer.  Some primers give you a matte look while others give you that healthy glow, for summer matte works best helps you look less shiny. 
I Recommend: Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer

TIP: If you have oily skin, set your foundation with a powder, dab it on the areas you are more likely to see oil, I would suggest to leave your dry areas alone, it could cause it to look cakey.  If you have dry skin and you're going to be out, lightly powder your face to reduce sweat from peeking through.

TIP: [THIS IS OPTIONAL] you could also set your makeup with a setting spray so that everything is "locked" in place. These products range from affordable to higher end. I have been using the ELF Mistand Setting spray and it has been working fairly well.

TIP:  although we can’t keep ourselves from sweating, keep your powder in your purse, bag, car, etc.  We’re going to end up whipping the sweat off so you need to touch up your makeup again. I have seen a lot of people use Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

TIP:  On an everyday basis, we don’t need a full face of makeup.  Find the areas you need coverage in, like under your eyes, chin, and/or forehead.  Or maybe you need to conceal redness, or pimples. Use concealer on only those areas and set with powder! THAT’S IT! You can also use a tinted moisturizer, don’t forget to set it. 
I Recommend: L'Oreal True Match concealer 

Hope you all find these tips helpful! The best tip is to go out and have fun with your own bare face! This way you won't have to worry about anything slipping and sliding! Enjoy your summer!

xoxo
