Best tip for summerproofing your makeup?: I really like Mineral foundation in the summertime–they make you look flawless and keep the oils at bay, and have SPF. I also like using a transfer resistant foundation like Lancome Teint idole for a more polished look.
Use a very lightweight moisturizer with SPF so you don’t get too greasy during the day. Carry powder for touch ups.
Stick to a more natural look, like waterproof mascara, light foundation and a lip stain on your lips and cheeks. Stains are the BEST for sweaty summer days when you don’t want to mess with your makeup.
I also like a quick sweep of bronzer to give myself a little glow.

Best tip for summerproofing your makeup? primer, Primer, PRIMER! ALWAYS use bases for eyeshadows and liners, use powders on your face instead of liquids and WASH your face regularly. Take CARE of your skin – this will summerproof your face makeup. Powder blushes and cheek stains stay the longest, while matte lipsticks, lip tints and lip stains last longest on lips. Always use waterproof eye makeup. Use powderless blot tissues for absorbing excess oil and sweat.
Hope I helped! 🙂
