Hi beauties! Today I want to share with you my simple tricks for perfect summer makeup & hair. No one likes runny makeup & humid hair during the summer. These are convenient when going to the pool or beach, or simply soaking up the sun. Continue reading for a few tips on a flawless summer look!
1. Primer, setting spray & powder
These products are your best friends this summer. Without it, say goodbye to all your makeup in a matter of minutes. A little tip: continue applying translucent powder throughout the day. This will eliminate the shiny, caked up mess created by humidity, sweat & sun, and create a huge difference.
2. BB Cream
A BB cream is simply a light foundation. You can also use tinted moisturizer. However, I am a bigger fan of the BB cream. My personal favorite is the Garnier BB Cream which now comes with an oil-free line. It is a sheer foundation with high SPF, found in drugstores. Perfect for summer!
3. Skincare
Heat will open up your pores, making it very easy for pimples to break out. If you do not continuously wash your face, and take your makeup off every night, you will have a problem. Skin care is way more important during summer, so keep up a routine!
4. SPF+ Moisturizer
Moisturize your face with a high SPF moisturizer. If you care for your skin, don't apply tanning oil on your face. Trust me, it will not help your skin in the long run. Any dermatologist will tell you, apply a high SPF moisturizer for your face and apply frequently if you are in the sun. It is even recommended to apply SPF on the rest of your skin, as well.
5. Waterproof
Try using waterproof makeup for the summer. This will help your makeup from melting off or rubbing away. That way you can also wear makeup to the pool or beach without worries!
6. No heat for hair
Put the flat iron down. It will frizz up & damage your hair regardless. Simply use a mousse or curly/wavy hair products to get rid of frizz, a serum or oil and hairspray. For an even simpler look, try a high bun, braids or ponytail!
7. Keep it simple
Keep your makeup use to a low. A little goes a long way in the summer: BB cream, blush, mascara & gloss should be enough. You don't want to look caked up & shiny. Anything more will run down your face during the day!
Hope these tips helped you prepare for this summers makeup & hair looks, girls! Remember, it's all about keeping it natural. I would love to hear your tips & tricks for this summer's looks. Have a fabulous rest of your summer & happy 4th of July!
