Humidity & Heat Proof your Make-up
So far the summer has been up and down, flitting between rain, gorgeous blazing sunshine and (my least favourite…) humidity that’d floor a rhino. No one wants to look like they applied make-up made from melted butter but sadly it can (and does) happen – so what can we do to avoid looking, and feeling like Sweaty Betty?
Change up your routine: The classic routine that works during colder months becomes heavy to wear during warmer times so switch out foundation for an oil free BB Cream or tinted moisturizer
Concealer is our friend: the key to wearing a lightweight base is to invest in a long wearing, high pigment concealer. Use a brush to buff it over any areas that require more coverage.
Swap powder for cream: Cream textures for eyes and cheeks allow skin to breathe and won’t get streaky in hot weather.
Go Waterproof: Even if you aren’t actually in water, waterproof mascara and eyeliners will allow you to still give definition in your make-up without it slipping all over the place
Make-up Fixer: Cooling and useful – make-up fixative sprays are a bit like a hair spray except they’re for the face (and come without the added whack of chemicals too).
