7 principles of summer makeup

In hot weather, many women are happy to get rid of extra layers, not only in clothes, but also in makeup. What shouldn’t be given up anyway?

1. In summer, makeup is not only a way to create a certain image and mood, but also protection for the skin.

For this reason alone, you should not refuse tonal or tinting agents even in the heat. Choose products with a light texture and a high SPF. Even weightless fluids and powders will create the necessary protection against harmful external factors, environmental aggression and UV rays.

2. The base will make makeup more resistant and simultaneously cope with oily skin

There are bases with SPF that will protect the skin from sun damage and pigmentation. Also, the durability of makeup is perfectly extended by special fixative sprays. They do not weigh down the makeup at all and really do their job.

If your skin starts to shine in the heat, carry translucent powder with you. With its help, it is easy to refresh makeup throughout the day and cope with untidy shine.

3. In summer, you have to abandon the usual shade of foundation in favor of a slightly darker one.

When choosing a summer tone, it is correct to focus on the skin tone of the neck and décolleté. These areas are predominantly open, and it is important that the complexion is not darker or lighter than them.

If you are going to be actively tanning, it is wise to buy your favorite foundation a few shades darker in advance and mix it with your usual tone, matching the color to the level of tan intensity.

4. Do not forget about preparing the skin for makeup

Avoid nutritious, oily and greasy creams. Use light gel fluids instead. They not only moisturize the skin, but also give a feeling of freshness.

5. Whether or not to do makeup for a beach or a country holiday, each girl decides for herself.

For those who feel uncomfortable without makeup and want to look 100% even on vacation, it is better to arm yourself with waterproof mascara, such as Cannonball from Urban Decay. With it, you can safely sunbathe and swim without worrying about the safety of makeup.

On the lips, you can apply a translucent lipstick in a natural shade or Naked gloss, which will give the lips extra moisture and protect them from the sun’s rays.

6. Blush and highlighters help to visually make the image more fresh.

For these purposes, the Naked Flushed palette is suitable. With its help, you can slightly shade the cheekbones, add a blush and a slight glow. And you can use the shades of the palette for eye makeup. Apply the bronzer to the outer corner of the eye, blend the blush along the crease of the eyelid, and apply the highlighter to the center of the eyelid and the inner corner.

7. Now the trend is both the most natural makeup and bright accents.

For a natural look, opt for warm bronze tones. This is where the legendary Naked palette from Urban Decay comes to the rescue.

And yet in the summer it is foolish to miss the chance to try on a bright look that is not so appropriate in autumn or winter. Decide on at least one simple accent, like berry lips or neon arrows. To embody this trend, 24/7 pencils, Razor Sharp eyeliners and creamy lipsticks in rich colors are ideal.
