Hey Guys ! I am Back !! Some situations call for long-lasting, melt-proof makeup, and summer is one of those times. We love spending time outside, but enduring the heat and protecting against sweat and shine is essential. Whether exploring nature on hikes, enjoying time with friends at barbecues or and even taking our fitness routine outdoors, we have a few tricks for giving our makeup staying power.
Step 1: Keep it Simple
When it comes to exercise, there are two types of people. Those who go makeup-free and those who don’t. Sure, there are perks to working out with a clean face, but if you want a little extra oomph when getting fit, the key is to keep your makeup simple.
Step 2 : Retractable Brow Pencil
The easiest way to look finished in seconds is you define your brows. Brow pencils come in many colors, water resistant colors and the fine pencil tip allows you to create a naturally full brow look. I recommend the NYX brow pencil.
Step 3 : Lip Gloss
when it comes to lip gloss I stick with the DIOR Lip Plumper , or Chap stick (EOS)
Step 4 : Primer for Oily Skin
When out and about on a hot day, sometimes our face starts to look a little shiny. To make sure we stay selfie-ready throughout all our summer activities, I like to apply an oil-reducing primer like again either the DIOR or Tarte Primer.
Step 4: Stay Clear of Creamy Eyeliners
We’ve all had the experience of eyeliner melting into your eyes, so to avoid this, Anything with a creamy base will want to move as your body heats up. So, stick with liners that have a powder finish liquid liners. I would really recommend the NYX eyeliner !
Step 5: Set Your Makeup
As always, set your makeup with Hydration Spray to lock the minerals in place. My favorite two Hydration Sprays for the summer months are the make-up forever “mist and fix "setting spray and the " all nighter " by urban decay
Step 6: Pat Don’t Rub
When you want to touch-up your makeup after you work out, or even after you go swimming, Blot any sweat gently with a towel (DO NOT RUB). Then, spray Hydration Spray to refresh your skin, let it dry and retouch as needed.
If you can’t beat the heat, then embrace it. Talk about glowing from within!
