Summer make-up turns out to be more difficult than winter make-up – many products strive to substitute us and escape from our face after a couple of hours. We will tell you how to avoid capitulation of tone and lipstick from your face.
“Leaky” eyebrows and eyelashes.
With the eyebrows, everything is more or less clear – as soon as the thermometer flies past 30 degrees, and you have a morning in hot public transport, put aside liquid textures and take pencils or shadows. It is more difficult with eyelashes – but you can at least not dye the lower ones. Then the likelihood that there will be circles under the eyes before arrival at the office is minimal – the main thing is not to get them wet with a napkin. You shouldn’t be completely without mascara – the image can become faceless.

Not summer lipstick
In the heat, it is worth setting aside satin textures and sticky sheen – the former risk smearing from the heat, and the latter will collect hair dramatically fluttering in the summer wind. The way out is matte lipsticks, which can be used even without a pencil – they themselves outline the contour and will not lubricate, fixing on the lips. If you want lightness, you should pay attention to the tints, which appeared not only in Korean, but also in almost all European brands. They create a translucent yet long-lasting coating that you can safely drink cold lemonades with all day.

Ignore base
Many people think that in the summer it is not necessary to load the skin with a base for makeup, and apply foundation and powder to the “naked” face. This is not worth doing – firstly, the base nourishes and moisturizes throughout the day, and secondly, it prevents impurities from settling on the skin through the foundation. There is one trick that helps against oily shine – you need to apply a drop of the matting base on the forehead and chin – so it does not dry out the cheekbones and nose and fixes the tone so that it does not drip.
Base for matting and reducing the visibility of pores Pore and Shine Control, Nars, 2800 rubles.
Highlighter on a tanned face
This is a pearlescent powder that gives the face a glow and volume, but should not be used on tanned skin. The friend, who was perfect for you before the vacation, will “whiten the skin”, making the previously unremarkable contouring by coloring the chipmunk. If you can’t live without shine, use gold, bronze and coral highlighters instead of pearlescent ones – they often appear in summer makeup collections.

Fake tan
Of course, where without it – after all, when else, if not in the summer, try new items of self-tanners and bronzers? This should be done wisely – it is better to mix “coloring” creams and serums with your usual care in a 1: 3 ratio to darken the face no more than half a tone at a time – even if it lies unevenly, it will be easier to hide. But before applying the bronzing powder, you should not use the cream – it will lie in spots, appearing where the most caring agent has accumulated on the face, and, most likely, will roll.
