Summer is a beautiful season, one that we can enjoy thoroughly.
We can dress up in a multitude of light clothes, bask in the sun and impress everyone with our style. However, when it comes to makeup, it can be difficult to make the right choices. If you do not want your makeup to run this summer, keep on reading and discover 7 melt-proof makeup ideas.
Find out how to choose products that are suitable for the oily pores of the summer and do not hesitate to share your newfound makeup ideas with your best friends.
#1 Primer
During the summer season, the temperature outside can reach impressive levels. If you want your foundation and chosen colors to last, then you will have to apply another product first and that it is a primer. This product is the key to long-lasting makeup for the summer season. If you want the best results, it is recommended that you go with a lightweight and oil-free formula. Always apply the primer before any other type of makeup, including your foundation or concealer.
#2 Silicone
If you are going to apply foundation on your skin while it is hot outside, then you should seek out a product that is silicone-based. Choose a lightweight formula and you won’t have to worry about your foundation running because of the hot weather. Interesting enough, the silicone will create a protective film between the skin and the excessive moisture outside, allowing you to look flawless. The foundation will remain on the skin, without reaching too deep into the pores (no risk of clogging).
#3 Cleanser
The warm or even hot temperatures of summer can make your skin oilier than it usually is. Because of that, you will need to use a cleanser for face, before the application of any kind of makeup. A herbal cleanser can do wonders for your face, allowing you to apply the desired makeup products, without fearing that the excess oil will have a negative impact on the final appearance. Use the cleanser on a daily basis and especially in the morning, as it will help eliminate the sebum produced overnight.
#4 Cream eye shadow
No matter how tempting it might be to use powdered eye shadow, refrain from such actions and go with the creamy version instead. When you apply the creamy eye shadow, you eliminate the risk of your makeup caking up in the creases around your eyes. Moreover, if you choose sheer colors, they will glisten beautifully in the sun, enhancing your already beautiful features. You can choose creamy eye shadow that contains silicone, as this will lock the color in place, despite the hot temperatures outside. This type of eye shadow can last for a long period of time, without you having to worry about smudging or other similar problems.
#5 Liquid liner
The kohl liner can help you obtain an elegant look but it is not suitable for summer wear. If you want to look fantastic, without fretting about your makeup, it is recommended that you choose the liquid liner. Sure, it might take you some time to master the application of this product but, upon seeing the final result, you will realize that it was all worth it. A good formula will guarantee that the liquid liner remains on your lids, without smudging because of the heat.
#6 Sunscreen
Even though this is not related to makeup per say, you have to understand how much sunscreen matters when it comes to the health of the skin. The importance of sunscreen cannot be understated, as it reduces the risk of both photoaging and skin cancer. You can either go with a classic sunscreen lotion or go with a moisturizing cream that has an integrated SPF. Either way, when it comes to the face, you have to choose a product that has a high SPF (for example, SPF 50).
#7 Waterproof mascara
Even though this might sound like the obvious thing to say, the waterproof mascara is essential for the summer season. You can apply it in the morning, then go to work, to the gym and meet friends. When you will get home at night, the mascara will still be on your eyelashes, having resisted throughout the entire day, despite the hot temperatures. No smudging, so consider the waterproof mascara for this summer.
These are our suggestions for a great makeup this summer. Do not forget about the importance of cleaning your face, as the warm temperatures can stimulate the excess production of sebum. No matter if you apply makeup, do not forget about sunscreen as well, as you need protection against both UVA and UVB rays. If possible, avoid going outside around midday, as this is when the sun is at its peak and does the most damage.
