Make Up Games and Sweat


Sweating is undignified and not something we like to talk about very much. Unfortunately, sweating is also very much part of life for many of us. There isn’t much we can do to make the body sweat less short of getting acclimated to a new climate, but sweat does more than make us uncomfortable. It can also destroy your make up games.

Sweaty make up games are the worst because they feel gross, and the sweat building up behind your makeup can also make you break out. The trick to dealing with heat, sweat and make up is to choose your make up items carefully. For example, you’ll want to leave your skin free to breathe. A lightweight powder will help control shine without clogging pores. A bit of waterproof mascara will darken lashes and not rub off with sweat either. Also consider leaving your face bare in the heat of the day and just wearing makeup games at night to avoid sweating the make up off as well!

Make Up Games and Bright Eyes


It seems like everywhere I look these days there are bright eyes and even brighter eye shadow. The 1980's had bright blue eye shadow. but even those shades of blue are nothing compared to the bright colors that are dotting the eyelids of the fashionable set. Look in any fashion magazine or check inside the neighborhood high school and you'll find hot pink and crystal green eye shadow colors.

The bright colors are fun to wear and they make your outfit look even more interesting. If you were to put on a bright green sweater, you can easily complement that look with bright green eye shadow. Or if green isn't your favorite shade, you can enjoy the same amount of fun by wearing blue, purple or virtually any metallic shade you could ever possibly imagine. When it's all said and done, the make up games create a fabulous look.
