The toughest job in summer is to keep your makeup intact as you step out in the scorching heat. However, through some tips and tricks, you can sweat-proof your makeup and keep it intact for a longer period. Read on.
Don’t skip the moisturiser
It may appear more rational to avoid moisturiser but a hydrating base is actually your key to making the makeup last. If your skin gets too dry, your oil glands will get more active. Hence, a sweaty face.
Invest in a good primer
Right after moisturiser, dive into your makeup bag to find a good primer. They don’t feel heavy yet hold the makeup in place. Use one which has hyaluronic acid to soften lines and blur imperfections.
Apply base in thin layers
Your base layers can look a bit cakey when the formulas mix with sweat. Use a beauty blender to apply your base in paper thin layers. Especially when you are wearing masks, the sweating can be profuse and the clogging of the pores more because of the heavy base.
Go for a dewy look
Make sure your T-zone is not shiny. That’s half the job done. Use blotting papers or beauty sponges. Even when you go for a retouch, blot first and then follow up with a pressed powder.
Use mascara wisely
First swipe a few coats of non-waterproof mascara. Then a coat or two of waterproof mascara. This way, there won’t be any smudges on top and it will be easy to clean the makeup off your lashes when you get back home.
Don’t cast a shadow
For longer stay and sweat-proof look, smooth on an eye primer instead of a shadow cream. This will ensure no creases on the upper lid. Also, use a regular liner for the eyes and use an angled brush to press dark shadow over the liner.
