Make Up Games and Sweat

Unless you’re lucky enough to live in one of those places that’s perfect year-round, you’ll be spending some serious time in the heat this summer. And with heat comes sweat, no matter what we choose to call it. When those pores open up and we start to “glisten” or “perspire”, make up games you’ve spend considerable time constructing can be ruined almost in seconds. To avoid potential ruin, plan your make-up games very carefully in the summer months especially.

Your first step will be to skip any oily foundations. In fact, you can skip anything that’s oily – tubular blushes, foundation, eye make-up. If it’s oily, it will just flow like a fountain off your skin. If you can, skip the foundation all together and opt for a tinted moisturizer. This will give you a healthy glow without being so heavy. Tinted moisturizer can also wash off, though, so look for a waterproof variety. All of your make up games should be water proof to protect yourself from a melting face – this includes your mascara and eye make-up. Keep make up games minimal and opt for powered finishes to stick better to a sweaty face. You’ll look great and hopefully keep the shine under controla s well.
