When It is Hot, How To Use Make-up to Look Hotter

Summer is the time of shorts, sleeveless, boat rides and fun. You want to look your best, but with these heat waves, it is putting a bit of a crimp on your look. Don’t worry, we got you, when it is hot, how to use make-up to look hotter. In regards to face and makeup, you have 4 enemies to face this summer: Water, Heat, Oils and Sweat.

Water

Water hydrates your skin from the inside, but melts everything on the outside. Since no one wants to get into the ocean looking like Ariel from “The Little Mermaid”, only to get out looking like the girl from “The Ring”, the easiest solution is to use waterproof products.

Heat

Summer heat can transform you from looking smoking hot… to a hot mess, so keep it simple when it comes to foundations and DON’T layer. Always remember, less is more and more is more than you need. Say “No! No!” to foundations, and “Sí! Sí!” to CC creams! Color Correcting creams are water resistant, SPF 30-50, full coverage and will give you all the life you need.

Oils

What you can’t forget is that waterproof products can only be fully removed with oil-based removers. What you might forget is that our pores are also producing oils and you may find your makeup start to run down your face, neck, knees and toes. If you have used all waterproof liners and mascaras but within hours you look like a raccoon then there is not much you can do but to invest in lash tints and extensions.

Sweat

In the event you start sweating at an event, don’t panic; simply go to the nearest restroom, put your hair up, pull out your beauty blender and dab, dab, dab; never rub, rub, rub.

Good luck with your summer makeup and never forget “A smile has always been, and always will be, the best makeup.”
