How to make super long-lasting makeup in the heat: top tips

Summer heat can be a serious challenge for those who are used to wearing makeup. High temperatures, humidity, and an active lifestyle can cause makeup to run off quickly and lose its good looks.

This can be especially problematic when it comes to important events or meetings. That's why W Magazine reached out to leading makeup artists and gathered some tips to help keep your makeup flawless in any weather.

Start with skin care

To prevent your makeup from slipping and sliding, makeup artists advise avoiding greasy fats in your skincare routine. Unless you can apply a little to the high points of the cheeks to add shine. However, in general, it is better to give preference to light creams or refreshing milk-water emulsions.

Method of application

The way you apply the product to your face is just as important as the kind of cosmetics you use. When it's hot outside, you need to apply thin layers of coverage and place it strategically. You don't need to cover your entire face with anything but sunscreen. It is better to apply a mattifying primer only to oily areas, such as the nose and forehead, and concealer only under the eyes.

Waterproof products

If you still want to wear makeup in the heat, it is better to use waterproof products. However, it is important to remember that they can dry out the skin more, so take care of moisturizing it in advance.

Less is more

If you have a thick layer of foundation on your face, then such a coating will definitely float under the influence of humidity and high temperature. Therefore, it is better to apply a minimal amount of cosmetics, and choose a soft matte foundation that does not oxidize.

Fixing spray

If you have excessive sweating on your face, it's incredibly difficult to keep your makeup intact in the heat. Luckily, there's a trick to help you out.

Before applying makeup, apply a fixing spray to your face. Then repeat this step after you're done with your makeup. After that, the coverage will definitely not budge.

Eyebrows.

Before coloring and styling your eyebrows, dip the brush into a setting and fixing liquid. This will help the gel stay in place throughout the hot day.

Cream products

It's better to use liquid or creamy eyeshadows and blushes, as they adhere to the skin better and become part of it. However, you must first apply a primer, and after applying cosmetics, fix the result with translucent powder.
