I was lookin' through msn.com just now, and i found a really useful topics in the Beauty & Fashion page.
The topic talks about how women should keep their make up from melting in summer, and this something that i really struggle with, but not any more! ..
Here are the tips that you need to take in order to save your make up from the gros looking sweat that washes it away in summer!
1. Take Time to Prime.
If you do not already have a primer, get yourself one! It is a very essential thing in your make up bag. Primers give you a perfect nude eye which looks good alone, and it prevents your make up from getting melted by sweaty summer days! .. This is a very important step that is commonly missed by all girls out there, now you know that you should not miss it anymore!
Check out L'Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Professional Primers (they have three oil-free formulas for different skin types).
2. Be Dense With Your Concealer.
If you choose inapropriate concealer, it will deffenetely get washed away by summer days!, you need to go dense in choosing your concealer. Your concealer should be densely pigminted (not liquid) cream formula. Applying your concealer with your fingers is a good idea, but use a small brush for little red spots to cover them effeciently.
DuWop's Circle Block concealer is perfect!
3. Not Too Much Foundation!
Think of foundation this way: The less you put on, the less there is to slide off. A dampened makeup sponge is the ideal tool for applying it so that it goes on light and sheer. Put a few drops on a damp foam-latex sponge, and swipe it from the middle of your face outward in short strokes. Give it a minute or so to set before you apply other makeup.
4. Choose Creamy Shadows.
Summer is full of sun! Cream shadown will glisten in the sun and will look better even if sweat comes along! Powder shadow will mix with sweat and the result will not be pleasing.
Laura Mercier's Satinée Crème Eye Color contains silicone that locks the color in place, and Benefit's Creaseless Cream Shadows stand the test of time without smudging.
5. Liquid Liner, Or Pencil?!
I have experienced horrible days with pencil liner, especialy here in Oman where i live which is extremely hot! .. Liquic liner may be a bit harder to use, but once it on, it is perfect! .. It is very hard to wash away liquid liner, but pencil will get smudged in a minute!
Try Shiseido The Makeup Fine Eyeliner and L'Oréal Paris Lineur Intense Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner.
6. Sweatproof your Lashes!
Get yourself a water proof mascara! It can make it through sweat, gym and work!
Maybelline New York Define-A-Lash Waterproof Mascara and Chanel Inimitable Waterproof Mascara will do this job easily!
7. Cream It All!
Cream blush will go with the cream shadow! rub a bright pink or coral cream or gel blush on the apples of your cheeks, and blend. We like Stila Convertible Color in Fuschia and Gerbera and Nars The Multiple Stick in Turks and Caicos and Beverly Hills.
8. Tap Some On!
To reduce shine and set your makeup, take a large fluffy brush (we like Sephora Professionnel Platinum Powder Blush #50), and dust a translucent loose powder across your T-zone. Because it's colorless, there's less of a chance it will cause problems in the heat, but use a light hand to be sure. We like Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish High Definition Powder; because it's talc-free, it mattifies without feeling dry.
9. Blot It Out!
If you like putting make up, but you're afraid that it would get messed up in the middle of the day, use clean and clear oil absorbing sheets, that will take excess oil from your face without messing your make up! ... Use this instead of repowdering your face continously, which will make your face look like a mixture of sweat and make up!
