Sweltering heat may just melt the cakey makeup on your face. To gear up for the summer, you have to wear light makeup. Comfortable clothing and sheer natural makeup is the trend of the hot and sunny months of the year. How to gear up with a great makeup? Here you go.
• A smooth base is the first step to a great makeup. Just as a primer on your walls is a great base for the paint. It keeps the makeup intact. A great foundation also protects your face from germs. There are sun screen foundations available too. If your skin is very sensitive, go for such foundation. Oil-based products blend well on dry skin, whereas water-based products suit the oily skin. The “Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light” is a great option for you.
• Wear light makeup to avoid cakey look. Tinted moisturizer is great for the soft and sensitive skin. You can avoid heavy foundation which might spoil your look. “Shiseido The Skincare Tinted Moisture Protection SPF 20” is a wonderful product. Other products to get the light yet bright look go for a “Mary Kay Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20” or “CoverGirl TruBlend Minerals Pressed Mineral Foundation”.
• Summer is the time for a sun-kissed look. Feel gorgeous and look beautiful with a great bronzer for your face. The natural suntan first hits the forehead, cheeks, chin and the nose, so you know exactly where to apply the bronzer. Get the powder products. They are easier to apply and lighter on your skin. If you need more dab some extra whenever you enter the washroom next time. “Wet n Wild Beauty Benefits Beauty Brilliance Bronzing Powder” that comes for a mere $8 might be a great option for you.
• Wear pastels. This is the time to change your look. Why only winters, even summer is the right time to flaunt your colorful wardrobe. Revlon and Bobbi Brownoffer great products for your face. Get colors that match your attire and go bright. “Bobbi Brown Blush in Pale Pink” or “Revlon A Floral Affair Sheer Powder Blush in Pinking of You” are two popular products during the summers.
• Glowing is better than shining. Shining looks sticky but the glow brings adds a brightness without looking sticky. To prevent the unnecessary shine use blotting papers. Use pressed or translucent powder for better effect. A radiant skin culminates into a great day too.
• Wear tinted lip balm instead of heavy lip colors. Wear lip balms with the sun protection formula and get a sweet yet trendy look. “Jane Be Pure Mineral Lip Balm” is a cool product available at just $4. The “Neutrogena Moisture Shine Tinted Lip Balm SPF 20” is a great alternative too.
• Eye cream is a turn off during summers. Wear light powder-based eye shadows. Look as simple as possible with narrow lining or just mascara.
