Meltproof Your Makeup This Summer!
Everyone wants to have a natural look during the summer months. However, this isn’t as simple to get as it sounds in the summer heat. The makeup that looks natural and light during other times of the year feels heavy and sticky during summer months. This is because even light makeup tends to melt on the face during this time. Let us take a look at certain simple steps that can be followed to make up melt proof during summers.
Clean Face Well
Start your makeup regime with a nice clean face. Using a gentle cleanser will help remove any residue present on the skin and prepare your skin for a hassle-free and smooth application of the makeup. For people with oily skin, it is advisable to use an oil-absorbing toner before applying makeup.
Moisturize Conservatively
Those with oily skin should avoid the use of moisturizer on the face, instead dab a little moisturizer below the eyes only. Others with dry skin can coat the skin with a light layer of non-oily moisturizer, preferably those containing SPF15.
Use Waterproof Foundation
During the summer months when you are likely to go out in the sun, use a highly pigmented and waterproof foundation. Try a gel based foundation instead of a creamy one. Apply a thin layer, allow it to dry for about 3 minutes and blot the excess using a tissue.
Use Light Eye Makeup
Heavy eye make can become extremely messy in hot weather due to regularly tearing and rubbing. Therefore, it is advisable to go for pearly, subtle shades such as lavenders and coral pinks. Even if your makeup smudges during the day, it would become messy but would give a lovely glow around the eyes.
Use Single Layer of Mattifying Powder
Adding too many layers of mattifying powder on damp and hot skin can serve as a disaster and give a messy look to the face. Apply the mattifying power just once.
Choose Melt Proof Lipstick
Matte shades of lipstick give the best melt proof look during summers. Use a highly pigment lipstick with a matte base and match it with a waterproof lip pencil.
