Easy Summer Makeup

Most face makeup products are not made to withstand long periods of heat and humidity, so knowing how to achieve a flawless face without using much makeup is imperative and simple. Here are a few products that can create that beautiful face you're longing for and that will withstand the heat and humidity of summer.
  
  


Reduce Face Makeup Product Use
In warm weather, a tinted moisturizer creates a sheer, smooth look on the skin. Tinted moisturizers will not cake in the heat of summer as foundation may. An example of a tinted moisturizer, with SPF 30 protection, is sold by Stila Cosmetics


  Bronze Your Features
While the summer gives the face and skin a natural bronzed color, adding a bit of bronzer to your face to create an even look can be flattering. Bronzer generally makes the skin look healthier, the teeth whiter and the eyes brighter. To apply bronzer properly, utilize the 3 and E method. Take a powder brush starting on the forehead and sweeping in a semicircle to the inner cheeks and outward to the chin. Depending on what cheek you're applying to will determine the 3 or E method. Then, sweep bronzer across the bridge of the nose, chin, and blend from the jawline and neck.


  Trade in Lipstick for Lip Gloss or Lip Balm
Lipsticks are ineffective in the heat as they cake and look awful. A sleek lip balm or lip gloss provides color and definition without the uncomfortable thick formula feeling to one's lips. Some good lip glosses are MAC Lipglass, Neutrogena Moisture Shine Lip Balm, and Hard Candy Sweet Spot Lip Gloss.
 
  Use Waterproof Mascara
Using waterproof mascara is imperative in the heat. Staying power with your mascara is key as mascara defines the eyes and creates a glamorous look to even a ponytail day. If you insist on using your regular mascara, apply waterproof mascara to only the tips of your eyelashes to increase the power of your regular mascara.
