Avoid a Makeup Meltdown

I love summer, but the humid days and soaring temps are making me feel like I’m melting, and my not-so-heat-proof makeup isn’t helping matters one bit. So I’ve done a little digging to see how I can keep my makeup fresh and bright all day long, no matter how hot it gets. Here’s what I’ve discovered:

 

·        Use a light foundation that contains an SPF of at least 15, so you don’t have to add a heavy layer of sunscreen underneath your base.

·        Dust face powder on your eyelids before applying eye shadow. That way, you’ll avoid colorful clumping in your creases as the day heats up.

·        Use waterproof mascara every day—it’s sweat proof, too!

·        Avoid waxy eyeliner pencil on the hottest days, because it just won’t stay put. Instead, wet a Q-tip, dip it in dark, powdered shadow, and line your eyes with that instead.

·        Give yourself a nice natural glow with powdered bronzer or self-tanning lotion for a safe, sun-kissed look.

·        Slick on some lip balm with an SPF of at least 15 before putting on your lipstick.

Always remove your makeup completely before going to bed, then nourish your skin with our Anti-Aging and Wrinkle Cream. It’s like a fountain of youth in a jar!
