Whether you’re lounging by the pool or splashing in the ocean, there’s nothing like the sun-drenched days of summer for fun and relaxation. Unfortunately, summer heat also brings the risk of smudged mascara and melting foundation. Read on for tips on beating the heat with smart summer makeup.Problem 1: Melting foundationNo matter how perfect your hairstyle or fashion sense, your makeup will be an unsightly distraction if it’s running off your face. Prevent a complexion meltdown with a few simple products:Primer. A primer helps your foundation stay in place longer by filling in lines and wrinkles, and controlling shine. Choose a primer to suit your skin type and apply it as a base layer between your skin and foundation.Oil-free foundation or tinted moisturizer. Heavy liquid cosmetics and heat simply don’t mix. Save yourself the trouble (and the mess) by switching to an oil-free, silicone-based foundation or liquid moisturizer.Problem 2: Disappearing concealerWhen you’ve taken the time to perfectly disguise blemishes or dark circles, the last thing you want is to smear or sweat off your concealer. To keep your complexion looking radiant – even in the midst of a heat wave – try a waterproof concealer.Problem 3: Bleeding mascaraPerfecting the art of smudge-proof mascara is challenging in any weather – but in the hot summer season, you may need to take extra measures to keep your eyes mess-free. Spring for a waterproof mascara, which offers length and volume but won’t come off with sweat or moisture.Problem 4: Streaky cheeksA summery glow can boost your entire look, but not all blushes are created equal in the summertime. Instead of powder blush that can streak and smear in the heat, try a creamy cheek stain. These long-wearing formulas come in liquid form for travel-friendly, fuss-free radiance.Problem 5: Smudged lipsBetween the sun, sweat and water, it’s hard to maintain a perfect pout in the summertime. The solution? A light, long-lasting lip stain will keep your lips hydrated and vibrant without causing a mess.Problem 6: Disappearing eye shadowEye shadow can be tricky without considering the elements. Factor in the sun, and your favorite shadow can stick in the crease of your eyelid, fade, flake, cake and smudge. Keep eye shadow in place and looking great by swapping out powders with cream based formulas. These are likely to cake under pressure, and, with the right application, won’t smudge or flake.
