Many women are concerned with the longevity of their makeup, especially in a hot and humid climate.
Today, I thought I would share a few pro tricks for keeping makeup in place during the summer months!
Lips: dab a little moisturizer on your lips and fill in your entire lip with a lip liner pencil in lieu of lipstick. The wax from the pencil lasts longer and is richer in pigment, so it wont fade as quickly. If you want a little shine, just add a little gloss on top.
Eyes: Try switching from pencil liner to liquid liner, which has more intense color and hold up better in heat. Avoid kohl pencils which have a tendency to smudge and run. For eye shadow, try layering products. Draw a thicker line on your top lash line with a pencil and then layer a cream or shadow on top to create a smokey eye with great lasting power.
Cheeks: Try dabbing a little of your red/coral lipstick on the apples of your cheeks. Then apply a sheer dusting of your everyday powder blush on top. You'll get a nice flushed look that won't fade away in the heat.
Face: Try using a light texture foundation or a tinted moisturizer instead of full coverage. Natural-looking textures are best in the summer. Think light weight. If you get greasy, try using blotting papers which absorb excess oils without removing your makeup.
