Sweat-Proof Your Beauty Routine For Summer!

Hey everyone! Looks like summer is actually on its way here in Wisconsin,and looks like it might actually want to stay! Along with the beautiful sun, every girl know that means a melting face..boooo. But it doesn't have to be like that! Here are some great makeups for summer, and some tips for the rest of your beauty routine also! So put away all the things you used to use for winter and bring on the new!

Long wear formulas are a must for summer!

Sweat-Proof Beauty Trick No. 1 :Get Thee a Primer.

For days when you really want to make sure your makeup stays put, it’s time to turn to primer. You can wear it under your foundation.

Tinted moisturizers are always great, but also include a primer, and a great foundation.


SmashBox Photofinish Primer will be exactly what you're looking for . It's great in every single way. And  you'll even find through research it's highly recommended.

 
I know good makeup gets kind of pricy, but the great news is, I have a dupe for you! Right in the Drugstore you can buy "Dream Fresh BB Cream" for an outstanding price. It doesn't have the best coverage, so you will need foundation, but it does moisturize and give color correctness and will last all day! I wear the shade light/medium.

My favorite foundation I could go on and on about. Tarte Amazon Clay 12-hour. This foundation is very true to it's name. I was looking for foundations with great coverage for my boyfriend's sister. Her wedding is in August, and is also outside, so I needed something we could really put to the test. I picked this up at Ulta for $38, and to really put it to the test, I wore it to the gym. Through all my nastiness and sweat, my foundation stayed on! I couldn't believe it. I LOVE this stuff. I bought it back in February and actually still have some left. It goes a long way, so you are actually getting what you pay for.

A cheaper foundation that is also great is CoverGirl's NatureLuxe Foundation. It smells like fresh cucumbers(if you're into that) has amazing coverage, light weight, and is SPF10.

Concealers.
An inexpensive concealer I reccommend is NYX's waterproof concelear stick. I think the name says it all. It's creamy and gives good coverage. It lasts all day and is budget-friendly, Under $5

Sweat-Proof  Beauty No 2: Get rid of oiliness when you notice it—before it makes your makeup run.
Setting powders are a must have for summer. It's important that it's a light weight powder. Once again, NYX has a great powder that I actually use myself. "Set it & Don't Fret it". It gives your face that matte finish which is very important for Summer.

Choosing the right blush is also really important. A powder or a stain is going to be the best fit for the heat.

Eye shadows are great for summer also. But if you are going to wear eye shadow, the one must have is a primer. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion has seriously been a game changer for me. It makes my eye makeup last all day, and literally all night .I wake up in the morning and my eye shadow is still in place.

Maybelline's color tattoo eye shadow comes in a range of awesome colors. Lots of mattes and glitter and shimmers!
Sweat Proof Beauty Trick:Wet your brush with a bit of water before dipping it into your eyeshadow,

Sweat-Proof Beauty Trick No. 3 :Switch Your Mascara Formula.

Waterproof mascara will stay put longer. Sensitive eyes? Look for a weatherproof—not waterproof—formula. It’s a bit easier to remove

Sweat-Proof Beauty Trick No. 4 Put On Your Antiperspirant at Night.This gives the ingredients time to start working even before your day begins.

Sweat-Proof Beauty Trick No. 5 :Deal With a Sweaty Head ASAP.When you feel your hair begin to get damp,reach for dry shampoo. My favorite is Redken Pillow Proof.

Sweat-Proof Beauty Trick No. 6 Head Off Scalp Oiliness.

If you’re an active person and you’re having problems controlling the oiliness of your scalp, it’s time to make a switch to shampoo for oily hair. Tea Tree shampoo is great for all times of the year!

So I hope these tips and tricks gives you some help on transforming your makeup bag for the summer!
