Summer Makeup Challenges
Let’s start by talking about some of the challenges that we face with summer makeup.
- Sweat and Humidity: The combination of high humidity and sweat can ruin the makeup you have carefully applied, causing them to smudge and crease.
- Oily skin: Summer heat can cause an increase in oil production. This results in a greasy, shiny appearance, which can melt makeup.
- Sun Exposure: A longer exposure to the sun can cause your makeup to change colour and oxidise, giving you an uneven look.
- Melting Makeup: The scorching heat can cause makeup to melt and leave you with an unnatural look.
5 Effective Tips For Summer Makeup
We’ve now revealed our five tips for achieving the perfect summer makeup.
1. Start with a high performance foundation
A strong foundation is the key to creating a long-lasting makeup look. The High-Performance Foundation has been specially designed for summer. This face foundation cream offers seamless coverage and is enriched with skin-soothing Vitamin C and Niacinamide.
- Benefits: The foundation has a skin-like finish, is crease-free, and lasts throughout the day.
- Use a beauty sponge dampened with water to blend a small amount of the product evenly. This will give you a flawless and buildable finish.
2. Compact powder controls shine
To combat summer shine, set your foundation with Compact Powder. This compact powder is ideal for touch-ups while on the move. It will keep your face looking fresh and matte, no matter how hot the weather is.
- Benefits: It is the best compact powder for absorbing excess oil and providing a lightweight, smooth coverage.
- Use the sponge applicator included with the powder to gently press the powder onto areas that are prone to oiliness such as the T zone.
3. Universal shadows to improve your eyes
The eyes are the most important part of your face, especially during the summer months when you’re trying to keep your makeup as minimal as possible. Matte & Chrome Twin Eyeshadow allows you to easily switch from a matte eyeshadow for evenings and a shimmery eyeshadow for the day.
- Benefits: This product offers two finishes in one and guarantees a 24-hour stay.
