Summer Makeup Tips and Essentials
Summer is in full swing now which means it’s hot and humid. Not ideal for makeup. It’s going to sweat off just from walking outside or it will be washed away from water at the beach or pool. Some areas of the country average above 90 degrees in the summer, making it torture to try and fancy yourself up. Here are a few makeup tips and essential products to ensure that your makeup is summer-proof.
Mascara
The number one must-have beauty item for the summertime is waterproof mascara. Mascara is every girl’s secret weapon. Apply some of your favorite waterproof mascara on a day at the lake, you’ll still look a little made up while water skiing or diving into the water. If you don’t have a waterproof mascara, check out your local drug store—most will carry mascara products in waterproof and non-waterproof formulas. While you’re there, make sure to grab a makeup remover for waterproof products.


Foundation
A lightweight foundation is perfect for those days that you want to get a little fancier. You’re going to want a product with a little coverage, but at the same time something that’s light enough that you won’t be burdened by it. BB creams, tinted moisturizers, and foundations with lightweight formulas will all help you put your best foot—face—forward in the summer heat.
