1. Hydration - Applying a lightweight moisturizer before you put on your makeup can be incredibly important, especially during the warmer months. Many of us tend to forget to hydrate our skin during the summer months because of the heat, which can cause our skin to become dry and irritated. A moisturizer can help trap water in your skin, resulting in a natural-looking, dewy glow and improved complexion.
2. Lighter base - Heavier makeup can be overwhelming during the summer months, so it’s important to opt for lighter-weight products to keep your face looking fresh and feeling comfortable. Stick to lighter foundations, tinted moisturizers, or BB creams with a natural, light-to-medium coverage and incorporate sheer, glowy highlighters to try and keep things looking fresh.
3. Add bronzer for a healthy, sun-kissed look - Using a powder bronzer can give you a natural, sun-kissed look. When applying bronzer, the key is to keep it looking natural and avoid caking it on. Choose a bronzer shade that is only a few shades darker than your natural skin tone. For a subtle and natural looking color, use a kabuki brush to lightly dust the bronzer across your forehead, cheekbones, nose, and chin for a healthy, sun-kissed look.
4. Use waterproof products - The summer months usually means the arrival of sweat, and your makeup can be a casualty of that. It’s important to prepare ahead of time and apply waterproof mascara, eyeliner, and other products to help keep your makeup intact.
5. Layer sunscreen and makeup - Make sure to use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 during the summer months as part of your beauty regime, and make sure to layer the sunscreen and your makeup. Applying a sunscreen before your makeup will ensure that your skin will be protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
