Summer Makeup Guide

1. Foundation: Light and Airy

A lightweight, soft matte foundation is your best friend for summer. It removes excess shine while avoiding dryness, providing a smooth, airbrushed finish. Always choose a foundation that matches your natural skin tone for a seamless and natural look. If possible, test shades in-store to find your perfect match.

2. Lip Makeup: Healthy and Natural

Opt for bright, fresh lip colors like coral or soft orange-red to give you a youthful glow. These shades are universally flattering and add a lively touch to your look. For warmer skin tones, consider slightly desaturated shades to complement your complexion. If you’re not satisfied with a single shade, try layering similar colors to create your own unique hue.

3. Eye Makeup: Subtle Yet Bright

Your eyes can be the highlight of your summer look. Start with a clean, sharp eyeliner to define your eyes. Then, add a pop of color with a bright eyeshadow, like a soft orange, to the outer corners of your eyes. Remember to blend well for a natural effect. A touch of shimmer on the inner corners can brighten your look, but don't overdo it.

Summer Sweat-Proof Makeup Tips

Quick Solutions for Long-Lasting Makeup

Simplify Skincare:

Use lightweight, non-greasy skincare products, especially if you have oily skin. Opt for hydrating products labeled "light" or "refreshing" and be mindful of the amount you use.

Choose Lightweight Base Products:

Avoid heavy, full-coverage foundations. Instead, use lightweight formulas and reserve full-coverage products like concealers for specific areas needing extra attention.

Apply Makeup with the Right Tools:

For liquid foundations, use a makeup sponge to apply thin layers gradually. For cream products, use a foundation brush for even application.

Set Your Makeup:

Use a powder puff to press setting powder onto oily areas like the T-zone. For drier areas, use a powder brush to lightly dust powder, ensuring a matte finish without over-drying.

Smudge-Proof Lip and Eye Makeup:

For lips, start with a powder base, apply the first layer of lipstick, blot, and repeat, finishing with a dusting of setting powder. For eyes, use a primer or setting powder before applying eyeshadow and eyeliner to prolong wear and prevent smudging.
