MAKEUP MONDAY: Summer Proof your Makeup

Hello all! So this is going to just be a quick post on how to summer proof your makeup!

Some things you definitely need to keep your makeup on through the hot and humid weather:

  • long wearing primer, even if you are just going out for a few hours, the long wearing ingredients can help make it last through sweat and humidity
    • I like Smashbox's primers, Revlon Photoready, and L'oreal Primers

  • You will need a setting spray!!
    • The only one I really like would be Urban Decay's Setting spray. It really does make you makeup last all day, through sweat and even if you rub your hand across your forehead, it doesn't come off! (yes, I have tried this!)

  • SUNSCREEN. Even though this won't help you keep your makeup on all day, it will have long term benefits to your skin. I have heard so many horror stories of young girls getting skin cancer because of the sun, they didn't wear sunscreen
    • try to stick to natural sunscreens, even though they can be harder to find, baby or children sunscreens are basically the same thing. they both use natural sun protecting ingredients, instead of harsher chemicals. You also want one with 45+ SPF to ensure your skin is protected.

There is just a few quick tips on keeping your makeup looking FAB during the hot weather seasons. I have to jet off to work now, have a great day!
