Ah, yes, that time of year when the sun turns up the heat and our makeup starts to feel the burn. But fear not! I’ve got some tried-and-tested tricks up my sleeve to help you keep your makeup looking fresh and fabulous all day long.
Prime Like a Pro
First things first: primer is your new best friend. Give your face a refreshing spritz with a makeup primer, bonus points if you keep it chilled in the fridge for that extra cool factor. I even stash one in the cooler for those on-the-go moments – baseball games, pool days, you name it! Look for a primer with clean ingredients to keep your skin happy. LimeLife’s purse-size spray primer is a personal favorite for its portability and skin-loving formula.
CC Cream to the Rescue
Who needs foundation when you’ve got CC cream? This multitasking marvel evens out your skin tone, blurs imperfections, hydrates, and packs an SPF punch – all in one tube! Opt for one with SPF 25 or higher for added sun protection. And if shine starts creeping in, a quick dusting of colored mineral powder can work wonders. EVER has some stellar options that I swear by!
Powder Power
Translucent powder to the rescue! Whether it’s over your CC cream or as a handy touch-up throughout the day, translucent powder is your secret weapon against makeup meltdowns. Look for one with SPF for added sun protection, or opt for a coverage-packed formula to amp up the pigment. A quick dab and you’ll be feeling fresh as a daisy in no time!
And remember, summer is all about keeping it simple and stress-free. So step away from the heavy eye makeup and dramatic liners – they’ll still be there when the temperatures cool down. Until then, embrace the effortless glow and enjoy those sunny days to the fullest!
