Makeup Tricks To Beat The Summer Heat

By Deborah Bennett, Senior Editor May 28, 2009 10:30 am

Look hot, not bothered this summer! Here are some tips to keep you feeling gorgeous, despite the steamy weather from sheknows.com

Tinted moisturizer
Liquid foundation is heavy. Try to avoid it if you can. If you really must use base makeup, apply a tinted moisturizer to even out your skintone rather than your normal foundation.

A touch of bronzer
Use a little bronzer to get a healthy glow, if you haven’t had any sun yet this season. Apply where the sun naturally hits your face – your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. Use a very thin, fan-shaped brush to get light, subtle coverage. If you use bronzer, skip blush. If you aren’t using bronzer, a light apricot or peach blush is an ideal choice.

Powder eyeliner
Eyeliner oftentimes smudges very easily in the heat and humidity. If you must line your eyes, use a powder eye shadow rather than pencil or liquid liners. With a very small slanted brush, apply dark shadow in a thin line to define your lash line. If you are going in the water, skip the liner or use a waterproof eyeliner instead.
