If you love makeup as much as I do, it's important that you know how to keep your glam from melting off in the hot summer sun. These are just some of the tricks I do while getting ready that will help your beauty routine during the hot weather.
SPF Primer

Before applying your makeup, it's always important to use a primer in order for your foundation do stay in place. During the summer, using a primer with sunscreen in it will not only keep your makeup from melting off, but will also protect your skin against the sun! I use the Maybelline Master Primer with SPF 30.
Powder Instead of Cream

When applying your makeup, be sure to switch it up during the summer season. Personally, I use a heavy liquid foundation on my face and a pomade gel to fill in my eyebrows. If you know you're going to be out in the sun all day, switch to powder products to be sure that your face won't melt off. I use the Maybelline Fit Me powder on my face and any brown eyeshadow for my brows.
Less Is More

In the hot weather, instead of going full on glam, I tend to stick to the basics. A gentle brown smokey eye, some eyeliner, and mascara is my go-to look when I know I'm going to be outside or in the sun. If you don't want to give up your beat face, see my next tip.
Setting Spray

Setting spray is as important, if not more important, than priming your face before applying makeup. When you're finished with your look, be sure to apply a copious amount of setting spray in order to set your face and keep your makeup in place. It also acts as a way to cool down your face when outside in the sun. I use the NYX Matte Finish setting spray.
Don't Be Afraid To Touch Up

When I know I'll be out for a while, I always take a few of my makeup products with me in my bag to touch-up my face if necessary. I always carry my setting spray to cool down my face, whatever lip product I'm wearing that day, my powder, and some oil blotting sheets. You can put these items in a cute makeup bag to put in your purse, and don't be afraid to fix anything that may be going wrong with your makeup! It's just a girl thing, people will understand.
