Light daytime makeup or rich evening makeup – girls want to look great in any case, and the heat should not be a hindrance to this. Professional makeup artists have revealed the secrets of long-lasting makeup to Woman’s Day.
– For the makeup to lie well, the skin of the face must be properly prepared. In the summer, the most important part of care is regular cleansing and control of the sebaceous glands. Therefore, at this time of the year, it is better to abandon heavy creams in favor of toners, gels and mousses that do not contain alcohol, do not dry or tighten the skin. Also, to keep your makeup all day long, be careful about moisturizing, especially dry skin and skin around the eyes.
Thermal water moisturizes the skin well and helps to reduce the amount of secreted fat. You can spray water on your makeup 2-3 times a day, it will moisturize your skin and preserve your makeup.
If your skin doesn’t like thermal water, you can prepare your own moisturizing water. To do this, take 0,5 liters of mineral water and add two ampoules of aloe there. Shake the bottle well before use.
If the skin is oily, then before applying the tone, you can use a matting base or cream. They will keep the face from oily shine and allow the makeup to last longer.
In summer, for daytime makeup, it is better to use foundation with a light texture, BB or CC creams are perfect. They protect the skin, give it a light shade and hide small imperfections.
It is best to apply the tone to the face with a hammering motion using a sponge or beauty blender. For oily skin, you can pre-moisten the sponge in a matting tonic: the tone will lie in a very thin layer, the skin will breathe easier, and the makeup will last longer. You can fix the tone with loose powder, which provides better matting, does not clog pores and is able to absorb excess moisture. It is better to use loose mineral powders.
Also matting napkins are perfect for summer. If shine appears on your face during the day, use napkins to blot the places where the shine appeared, and, if necessary, powder your face.
– In order to preserve eye makeup in the heat, you should pay attention to the line of waterproof products: waterproof mascara will become an indispensable assistant on hot days. You should also pay attention to waterproof eyeliners and eyeliners. Now the choice is quite large, there are also waterproof shadows, but ordinary liquid or mousse shadows will be a good option, because their pigment is absorbed into the skin and is perfectly preserved in all weather conditions. Dry shadows are suitable for very light make-up, and it is good if they are mineral, because minerals have the property of absorbing sebum, and this is important in the heat. But here, of course, I recommend using a base for eyeshadow, it will prolong the life of your eye makeup and improve the application and visibility of the pigment on the eyelids. In total, for a successful summer make-up on hot days, we need: liquid or mousse shadows, or dry + base under the shadows, waterproof eyeliner or eyeliner and waterproof mascara.
– As for the eyebrows, it is now more popular than ever to focus on them, in this case also use a waterproof eyebrow pencil or fix the work done with a special eyebrow styling gel. There are also a variety of mascaras, etc., that color the hairs for a while.
And if you are already the owner of thick beautiful eyebrows, it is quite enough to comb and style them, securing them with gel.
– In the summer, it is better to use balms and gloss, they moisturize the skin well. To prolong the life of the gloss, apply a drop of foundation to your lips, then lightly powder them, then apply the gloss.
If you like bright lip makeup, then it is better to choose matte lipsticks or tints, they are the most persistent. These lipsticks tend to dry out your lips, so keep moisturizing in mind.
