BEYOND BEAUTY & MAKEUP: My Top 5 Tips For Wearing Makeup in Summer!
Less is best. I recommend picking your fav features to work on and minimise product use in the rest of your look.
Skin prep is key - it sounds weird but hydration is a massive factor. If your skin isn’t hydrated it’ll over compensate and over produce sebum (oil) so hydrate your skin with serums and gels - like weight products are key in Summer.
Powder before you put your foundation or tint on. This will help the makeup stay and look nice for longer and control any unwanted shine. Don’t use just any powder though. Translucent and finely milled SETTING powders are the better option for this technique. Translucent powder also has the ability to absorb oils so this will work in the favour of all our oily gals.
Opt for light weight foundations or tints. If you’re a full coverage gal - You can create coverage with spot concealing or tinted setting powders. Opting for a light weight foundation or tint will help minimise the heaviness on the complexion which should help with minimising the sweat.
Opt for waterproof or water resistant products and cream products like bronzer and blush. Set lightly with the powder versions of your creams.
BONUS: Use setting spray throughout your entire application to maximise the wear of the overall makeup and whatever you do… AVOID TOUCHING YOUR FACE AT ALL COST!!!!
