The warm season still has many more hot and humid days in store for us. Here are a few tips on how to stay beautiful and fresh from morning to night.
1
Moisturize lightly
In summer, choose products with a light, matte texture (gels, fluids, serums) and avoid rich creams. Allow your hydrating creams to fully penetrate your skin before applying makeup.
2
Melt-proof your makeup
First, apply a makeup primer. This will mattify the skin, allow foundation to be applied more evenly and help your makeup last longer!
Wear light, simple makeup. For example: eyeshadow, a line of pencil along your lashes, a coat of mascara and a long-lasting lip gloss will do the trick. Use waterproof products (especially for mascara!) so that nothing runs, despite the humidity.
3
Goodbye shine
Keep absorbent blotting paper in your purse. It will help you combat shiny zones and keep you from continually powdering yourself.
4
Hello freshness
Use thermal water mist to refresh yourself. Here’s a tip: spray some over your makeup to extend its wear!
5
Thoroughly remove makeup
Remove all traces of waterproof makeup by using products specially designed to do so. Their oil-based formulas work especially well to dissolve mascara, eye shadow and other products without excessive rubbing.
