The Best Summer Beauty
Summer is full of long days in the sun and even longer nights in the heat and humidity. This summer, don’t spend all your time worrying about how to keep our makeup looking fresh. A few products can keep you looking hot while beating the heat.
A BB cream is your best bet for coverage this season. You don’t want to be outside all day with a full face of foundation, so opt for something lighter with added SPF. A BB cream will give you the coverage you want without making you feel weighed down and gross if you start to sweat.
For your eyes, stick with a vibrant eyeliner. Eye shadow can crease in the heat but by adding a cobalt blue or turquoise liner in your waterline or on your top lash line, your eyes will look intense without the hassle of so many different products. Finish off your look with waterproof mascara to make sure your lashes stay curled even when you’re swimming all day.
Eyebrow gel is a must to keep your brows in place this summer. Pick something with a wand so you don’t have to carry brushes and powders around for a mid-day touch up. It’s a super easy way to finish off your look and to give you that bold brow look that is so trendy.
You lips are bound to be dehydrated by the end of a long day in the sun, so make sure you have a moisturizing lip balm. Try picking one with some pigment to add a little color to your look. A coral or raspberry color adds the perfect punch for summer.
After you’ve finished off your makeup, make sure to lock it in with a setting spray. Simply spray your face lightly and your makeup won’t end up melting half way down your face during dinner on the patio or a walk on the beach.
If you really want to feel fresh, try going without makeup this summer. Your skin will thank you for it. Of course, you always need to remember to protect your skin from sun damage with SPF, but skipping makeup all together is never a bad idea. For me, the days I can go without makeup are my favorite because I can focus on having a blast instead of running to the bathroom to fix myself up.
Regardless of what look you are going for, keeping things light and easy are the best for your summer makeup routine. Keep it minimal and you’ll end up having the best summer filled with carefree days soaking up the sun.
