1. Do: Use Powder products instead of cream products
One of the most important steps of achieving sweat-proof makeup during summer.
2. Don’t: Skip Moisturizer
One of the best summer makeup tips for oily skin too although most people tend to skip it thinking it will make their skin more oily, which isn’t the case, provided you use a good hydrating moisturizer.
3. Do: Use Pore-Minimizing Primer—It’s Your Summer-Savior
Especially for oily skin which becomes overly open-pored during summer. Make sure to choose a good, non-sticky one though.
4. Don’t: Miss Makeup Fixer—That too, at Every Step
Start with a makeup fixer, followed by your base, then again a makeup fixer. And of course, in the end, after all your makeup is done, just before you apply your lipstick & highlighter.
5. Do: Use Sweat-Proof Makeup Products
Especially all your base products & lipsticks because they tend to bleed during summer.
6. Don’t: Skip Setting Powder
Setting with powder will do you two favors—one, it will set your makeup & even the skin tone out; two, it will help you get creaseless makeup, especially under the eyes.
7. Do: Go for an Oil-Free But Hydrating Foundation
Make sure the foundation is lightweight & doesn’t weigh you down, and it’s the best if the foundation also has SPF! Set it with a sweat-proof compact powder after.
8. Don’t: Sleep with Makeup on—in Any Season, Obviously!
Make it a habit to never go to bed with your makeup on. Two reasons—it will ruin your skin, and you don’t wanna wake up like Cruella and scare away that date you brought home last night.😛
9. Do: Wear Smudge-Free Eye Makeup
Take care of wearing smudge-free eye makeup, especially if you’ve oily skin around your eyes. You don’t wanna sweat black tears during a Sunday brunch date.
10. Don’t: Forget the Sunscreen—Choose Makeup with SPF
Make sure you go step-wise to summer-proof your makeup: moisturizer > SPF > Primer.
11. Do: Keep Your Overall Makeup Light & Minimal
We all love glamorous makeup looks, and you can still wear them during summer. Just make sure you use lightweight, non-sticky, and sweat-proof makeup products.
