Make Up Games and Hot Weather


When the weather’s hot, you need to take special considerations with your make up games. Make up games in the milder seasons are simple enough, but when the sun is high and the days are hot, you’re going to be dealing with two things – sun exposure and sweat.

When you get too much sun, you obviously run the risk of skin damage. But more immediately, if your skin is growing darker on your face thanks to a tan, your make up is still the same color. That means you’ll start to look a bit peaked with light makeup over a dark face. Avoid this by not wearing foundation or powder in the summer or buy them in a darker shade.

Sweat is a serious problem for make up games. When you sweat in the summer, even a little bit, you’ll likely be sweating off your makeup. In some cases, your make up can literally melt off. Look for make up that is waterproof or use powder often to try and soak up sweat and set the rest of your make up to keep your look in place.
