prepare your skin

A proper prep routine is imperative for summers when you want to ace that sweat-proof fresh and clean foundation. Smooth moisturizer is a big no-no during the hot and humid months, but hydration is key, thanks to a handy vitamin C-infused multi-use stick that protects against dryness, spots, and sun damage. Easy and fuss-free, simply swipe this stick across your face and watch your skin feel instantly refreshed and energized!

use mild products

During summers, it is important to use lightweight beauty products that can protect your skin from the sun while keeping it hydrated and nourished. Heavy creams and powders can melt from the heat and clog your pores. Use mild, oil-free products that are designed for hot weather. Products like tinted moisturizer, BB cream and water-based lightweight foundation will be your best friends.

Try Waterproof Makeup!

With the brutal heat during the summer months, water-resistant and waterproof makeup products are a great way to keep your makeup from melting off. It’s essential to use waterproof mascara, eyeliner, and even lipstick that can withstand the heat and humidity.

Whether it’s minty green or sky blue, a formula that dries in seconds and is incredibly pigmented and smudge-proof should be your go-to. Getting your eye makeup fix for warm weather has never been easier!

It is very important to set your makeup in summer. Now is the time to skip the bake and opt for a light dusting of translucent powder to set your base.
