Summer Makeup Tips

Summer makeup should not be heavy and is mostly aimed at protecting the skin from exposure to sun rays, avoid excessive sweating, cut out the oily shine and prevent clogging of skin pores that often result in acnes and pimples. Summer season is the right time for giving the healthy tan to body and protect the skin from the baked, dry lips and sunburn. Many makeup disasters are happened in summer season under the sun and one does not pay attention to a relaxing beach noon. Foundation may seem to melt or liquefy, and no powder stands up to those little beads of sweat that collect around your hairline. A modification of your regimen may be in order, and a few tricks will get you through a midday makeup meltdown. A daily skin care regimen pays rich dividends. If the skin is clear, without any blemishes, one does not need foundation. Heavy foundations become "caked" and streaky with perspiration during summers showing up natural creases, lines and wrinkles. During the day, use a colorless baby powder as it's not only light, but has a transparent sheen, which is more flattering. Eye make-up during the day should also be light. In fact, you can leave out eyeliner and pencil and line your eyes with brown eye shadow. Then apply mascara. This helps to darken the eyes, without heavy eye make-up. After using lipstick, add a touch of lip-gloss, which actually gives a "cool" look. Or, you can use frosty lipsticks. You can even add a touch of your lip-gloss on the centre of the upper eyelids. For colors in lipstick, choose from light pink and mauve, which are "icy" colors and look cool. It may be a good idea to stick to lip-gloss during the day. For the night, you should use brighter colors, as artificial light tends to drain color. You can even wear a bright red at night.

Summer Makeup Tips

• Let your skin breathe and use sheer makeup that serve more than one purposes. It is important to keep the humidity locked in as sweating dries skin out. So, lock away your foundation for the season and use a light moisturizer with sun block instead.
• Sensual and bronze skin and natural look is the look for summers, so work on it.
• Battle summer blemishes with a superior nighttime treatment so there's less reason to cover up come morning.
• Curl your lashes and use glossy black shade on them to make them appear longer and your eyes bigger. Use only a very fine line with eyeliner.
• If you must apply foundation, mix it with loose powder to keep you looking fresh throughout the day.
• Cheek sticks and crème eye colors are easy to apply and last longer in summer.
• Keep lips protected and moisturized. Use a lip balm that has an SPF and consider switching to a moisture-rich lipstick.
• For nail care during summer, use a nail gloss with Ultraviolet protection topcoat on nails.
• Sunny, bright and warm blush can be applied for summer makeup.
