These are my 9 summer makeup tips to your makeup looking fresh all in the hot summer months. Summer is full of pleasures — but melting makeup, sliding eyeliner, and super-sticky lipstick are not among them. "In hot weather, applying your makeup should be as simple and comfy as putting on your favorite pair of jeans and flip-flops,. "But the heat and humidity are a challenge, so you have to make a few little changes to your routine." That's why I'm spilling my best tips.
1. Make time for primer. You won't regret the few seconds it will take to smooth on a primer, which goes on after moisturizer but before face makeup. Like house-paint primer, it provides a smooth base for whatever goes on next. "Primers are definitely the way to go in summer," "They're incredibly light — they don't feel at all like a heavy, additional layer — and they really help hold makeup in place." makeup looks better and holds up throughout the day (even after a sweltering stint in 80-degree, high-humidity); Smash-box Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light ($36, Sephora) proved to be the very best of the bunch. I use Urban Decay for my sweaty days.
2. Lighten your face makeup. "Just as you switch to breezy skirts and linen blouses, dress your face with lighter makeup," First step: Swap foundation for tinted moisturizer. These sheer formulas look and feel airier on skin and are less likely to turn cakey on steamy days. Try Shiseido The Skincare Tinted Moisture Protection SPF 20 ($36, department stores). Feeling a little too exposed? I recommend brushing powder foundation over the tinted moisturizer in spots where you need a little extra coverage — say, on blemishes or areas of redness around your nose. Try Bare Minerals Mineral Foundation ($18 Sephora)
3. Bronze believably. "Bronzer makes your eyes look brighter, your teeth whiter — everyone looks better with a little warmth added to their skin," To keep the results looking fresh and natural, I recommend applying bronzer just to the high points of your face, where the sun naturally hits you: forehead,cheekbones jawline, (Covering every nook and cranny is what gives you that fake, baked look.) Powder bronzers are the easiest to apply; look for one with varying shades — they'll swirl together for the most authentic-looking results. Check out my blog on colors choices and textures http://myjuicybeauty.blogspot.com/2011/05/bronzed-and-beautiful.html Physicians Formula Magic Mosaic Multi-Colored Custom Face Powder in Warm Beige/Light Bronzer ($13, drugstores). They also come in darker colors if you have dark skin which will add a natural glow to you complexion. Another essential for keeping it real: a brush with long, loose, fluffy bristles — anything densely packed will deposit too much color. Prescriptives Bronzer Brush ($32, department stores) is a great choice.
4. Try out vibrant color. Just as you're probably more likely to wear a vivid top or carry a bright bag this season, now's the perfect time to play up your makeup palette. Besides looking summery, "livelier colors brighten the face and bring a youthful glow to skin," If you tend to stick with neutrals, experiment with just one area of your face. A punchy blush on the apples of the cheeks is a good place to start. Try Revlon A Floral Affair Sheer Powder Blush in Pinking of You ($11.69, drugstores), Bobbi Brown Blush in Pale Pink ($20, department stores), or Ramy Juicy Cheeks Sheer Intense Cheek Color in Maya Papaya ($24, ramy.com). It's summer don't be afraid to add color even if your darker.
5. Stop shine, add glow. A slick T-zone instantly telegraphs the message "I'm hot" — and I don't mean sexy. To eliminate unsightly shine in seconds, nothing beats blotting papers. "They're cheap, easy, and amazing — you just press and go," says Sheriff. Try Too Faced Re-Fresh Oil Blotting Papers ($12, Sephora). If you need to perk up your makeup too, blot first, then follow up with a dusting of pressed powder with a hint of luminescence. "You want to eliminate shine, but you still want to look a little glow-y, especially in summer," Try M.A.C new cooling powders it cools your skin instantly it's amazing ($32 M.A.C stores)
6. Switch out thick lipsticks. Since heavy lip colors often feel like overkill once the weather warms up, many women opt for clear balm or skip their lips altogether. But just because you're feeling low-maintenance doesn't mean you have to look it. A simple swipe-and-go choice: tinted lip balms. "They give you whisper-light color, and many even have SPF to protect you from the sun," Try Neutrogena MoistureShine Tinted Lip Balm SPF 20 ($7, drugstores) or Jane Be Pure Mineral Lip Balm ($4, drugstores).
7. Stay-proof your eye makeup. For longer-lasting shadow, avoid using eye cream on your lids (it can break down makeup), and smooth on an eye primer instead. "It will minimize creasing and create a base for the shadow to cling to so it lasts longer," Try Urban Decay ($18, Sephora stores) Although powder shadows generally last longer than creams, for the ultimate in all-day wearability, layer a powder over a cream (don't worry — this makeup artist's trick still feels light on the lids). Try Tarte Lock & Roll Eye Shadow Duo ($17, Sephora), which has matching cream and powder shadows in one tube. Doubling up works for liner, too. "Apply your regular pencil or cream liner, then use a small angled brush to press dark shadow over the liner to set it for longer wear".
8. Wade into waterproof. If you tried waterproof mascaras once but found them less than stellar, it's time to give 'em another go. "They used to be brittle, crumbly, and flaky, but today's formulas are much better — and they really last," Can't bear to switch from your favorite? Apply a waterproof version (we like Lumene Star Effect Waterproof Mascara, $8, CVS) on the tips of your lashes over regular mascara to boost its staying power.
9. Go sheer. "Rich, deep colors have their place, but they can look heavy in summer," To lighten up, switch to sheer versions of your go-to lip and eye hues. Two sheer lip shades we love: Clinique Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 in Juicy Apple ($14, department stores) and Sonia Kashuk Dual Ended Sheer Lip Color and Plumping Glossy Tint in Passion Fruit ($12, Target). Use a lipliner pre-application if you need extra definition, but go for a nude shade to keep that carefree feeling, or try "invisible" lip-liner, which deposits a clear, waxy film to stop color from bleeding. Try Benefit D'finer D'liner Clear Lip-liner ($18, Sephora). Bonus: Because sheer colors are subtler, you almost can't go overboard. Case in point: Stila Summer Eye Shadow Palette ($40, Sephora), which contains pretty pastels and everyday neutrals, all with a sheerness that keeps them sophisticated.
Ok that's it for my tips for summer hope all my juicy beauties take note for this seasons heat wave. Love Me
