In the summer heat how do you keep your make up from melting down your face? I start out the day applying my fresh summer face only to have it turn into a Picasso painting when I walk out the door. There are some products that I discovered through the years that are my go to for keeping my make up in tact and giving me a natural summer beachy look.
1. Benefit What’s Up: This is a cream to powder formula highlighter that wont’s wear away on a sweaty summer day. It also includes a smudger sponge that allows you to blend on to skin seamlessly.
2. Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Metal 24HR Cream Gel Eyeshadow: I typically don’t buy drug store makeup but I have been giving some products a try. Tattoo eye shadow is amazing. The cream gel formula is crease-proof, waterproof and keeps color vibrant all day long. It can be worn sheer or layered to create a more dramatic look.
3. Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion: I discovered this gem couple of years ago and it’s the best thing that has happened to my eyelids. This eye shadow primer gives your eye makeup staying power and prevents creasing. If you’re on a budget this should be one product that you spend your money on. It will even prolong the life of a less expensive eye shadow. A little goes a long way so it will last you a long time.
4. Fresh cosmetics Sugar Tinted Lip Balm: This hydrating lip balm gives you a soft, natural summery look and it’s so light weight. It does not give you that sticky feel that you get from other lip balms. Extra bonus that it contains SPF 15.
5. NARS Bronzer: I love that summer sun kissed looked minus the skin damage. This is why I can’t live without my bronzer. My favorite is NARS. It works on most skin tones and it does not look orange. Not a good bronzer to use if you are going as Donald Trump for Halloween. It does however have a mico-shimmer which gives your skin a beautiful glow.
If you have any flawless summer beauty tips, please share. I’m sure we can all use new tips to add to our make up bag of tricks.
