Makeup Tips to Beat the Heat!

Sunshine is wonderful until it gets to the point where makeup starts to melt – on your face and in your bag! Weather or temperature can change the texture and the constancy of your make up.  Here are a few tips which can help your makeup to last longer.

•  For people living in a extremely hot climate, you must try to keep your foundation, concealer and lipstick in a cool place or away from the sun.  Even consider putting them in the fridge when you are not using them to ensure they last as long as possible.

• Icing the face before applying make up can be very helpful.  It’s a must for summer to ensure you apply a primer before your foundation – I recommend primers from Smashbox as it really helps to keep the makeup on for longer.

• Choose waterproof liner and mascara to prevent make up from smudgeing and keep it fresh and crispy.

• Power controls oil.  However if you keep putting on a powder over and over again, it can make ur make up look caked.  Never put face powder on a sweet face directly u must dry or tap ur face with a paper towel or tissue as humidity can become an issue.  So first dab the face with a paper towel and once it’s dry, lock in your makeup by dusting on a powder.

• Tinted gloss can be great to finish the look as well or a matte lip color.  I Love NARS lip pencils as they are easy to use and come in some great colors.
