Tips For Long-Lasting Make Up When It’s Hot
Oh summer! The sun is shining, the rooftops are crowded, the birds are singing and… it’s hot, very hot. Summer also means sweating, sticky hair, dripping make up, shiny face… It’s difficult to maintain impeccable, long-lasting makeup when temperatures are around 30 degrees. However, it is important to continue your beauty routine during the summer season by adapting it to the hot weather. Discover effective tips for long-lasting make up when it’s hot!
To wear makeup or not to wear makeup in summer, that is the question
Should we give up wearing make up simply because we’re afraid of unpleasant surprises at the end of the day? During this sunny period, all we want to do is lounge on our towels or lounge on the rooftop of a café with XXL sunglasses that mostly hide our face.
Two options are available to us: spend the summer in total nude mode or highlight our complexion already enhanced by the sunny days with essential beauty gestures. We don’t know about you, but we don’t want to leave our favorite lipstick aside!
Tips For Long-Lasting Make Up When It’s Hot
Summer is the time of year when the skin is subjected to the sun’s rays, the wind, the salt of the sea. So many external aggressions which risk damaging it. This is why you should not neglect skin care and prepare it well for the day. So, to enjoy summer lightly, we have found some essential beauty tips for you to keep make up on despite the heat.
–Beauty comes through cleaning
Always remember that facial cleansing is the ultimate beauty treatment. To eliminate traces of sebum and nighttime impurities, we prefer micellar waters and gentle cleansing gels. They are rinsed with water, the best way to refresh and wake up your face when you get out of bed after a night fighting the heat.
Pro tip: for an even fresher effect on the face, put your products in the fridge before application.
–Hydrate, the key word of summer
The second key step to having make up that lasts despite the heat is moisturizing. Just like you, your skin needs to drink, and to prevent it from showing areas of dryness, opt for a moisturizing cream, rich in hydrating active ingredients but light in texture.
–Opt for a primer
Prepare your complexion with the application of an ideal fixing base. The base will smooth and mattify the skin, while camouflaging small imperfections (fine lines, pores, etc.).
Also remember to apply primers to your eyes and lips before applying make up.
–A CC Cream for a sunny complexion
For complexion makeup, we prefer CC cream which will enhance your skin while protecting it from external aggressions: pollution, oxidative stress, etc.
The little extra: choose a CC cream with an SPF to protect your skin from the sun. Essential in summer!
If you are at the beach or in a very large sunny area, opt for a tinted sunscreen to even out your face and protect you from UVA and UVB rays. The advantage is that they are waterproof. To you, the pretty golden complexion on the open sea.
–Opt for waterproof summer make up
Putting on make up in the heat can be a real challenge. The kohl pencil that smears, the mascara that runs…. Not very glamorous. To properly do your eye makeup in summer, choose waterproof make up, with textures that are more heat-resistant: cream eyeshadow, waterproof mascara, and why not try colored eyeliner? There are many waterproof formulas, with shades suitable for all skin tones.
–Go all out for juicy lips
Show off a dazzling smile by applying a gloss or lip balm for a shiny finish. We also like light nude contoured lipsticks, which we apply once, then remove the excess with a tissue before applying a second coat. Long-lasting results guaranteed!
And to stay beautiful all summer long, exfoliate them with a sweet scrub to keep lips soft and smooth.
–Fix to last better
Final step to make your make up hold in the heat: set! The ideal is to spray a make up fixing spray on the face, or even better, to apply thermal water to refresh.
Pro tip: don’t hesitate to take your fixing spray or thermal water in your bag for fresh touch-ups during the day.
You are finally ready to face summer in style! But, in the end, it doesn’t matter whether you choose to wear light make up or not, the main thing is that you feel good with it all day long. Putting on make up should be a pleasure, not a hassle. The most important thing is to take care of yourself with a routine adapted to the season and your skin.
