Picture this. It’s glorious summertime. You may be at the pool, beach, or tropical location. You may be running around town doing errands, shopping, or having lunch with friends or colleagues. You may be working out in the heat. On top of all these activities, it’s hot and humid outside. You’re most likely going to be sweating. No one wants to feel like their face is melting off. No one likes that feeling! When you’re working, out and about, or on vacation, the last thing you want to worry about is your makeup and whether or not it’s in place.
Well, fear not because I’m here to tell you what has worked for me and the products I love that will make your summer makeup routine fool proof!
In my option, you need a good setting spray, long wearing foundation, and good setting powder. With these 3 products your makeup will be sweat proof/water proof no matter what!
Here’s a list of products that I recommend!
Setting Spray
Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray || This stuff is like glue! Nothing moves once you lock in your makeup with this bad boy.
How to use || After I moisturize, I prime my face, then spritz my face with this and let it dry, then I go on to apply foundation. It makes your face a little tacky and I feel like it just helps your foundation stick to your face. You will also spray your face again once you’ve applied all of your makeup! Once it’s all dry, you will be good to go!
Foundation
Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation || I rotate between this foundation and the Smashbox 15 Hour one. It is very thick, so you don’t need a lot when applying! It has GREAT coverage!
Smashbox Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation || I love this foundation so much I wore it on my wedding day! It stayed all day long! I have zero complaints about it. You can’t beat that.
Wet and Wild Photofocus Foundation || This is a great drugstore option! I know some people that don’t like this foundation, but for me, it’s amazing and my face looks flawless when I wear it. Plus it’s under $5!!!!
Revlon Colorstay || This is also a great drugstore alternative. I recently wore this for a wedding I was in in May and it held all day! It’s very full coverage, has a huge shade range, and it’s under $10!
How to use || Apply foundation after you’ve primed and sprayed your face with setting spray. You can either use a brush or beauty blender to apply your makeup. I use a beauty blender (sponge) because I feel like it applies the product more evenly and you don’t use as much foundation. (No one wants a cake face!) My favorite beauty blender is this one!
Setting Powder
Dermablend Translucent Loose Setting Powder || This powder locks your makeup in all day. No creases under the eyes or creases in your smile lines. It is my new favorite and is what I wear daily no matter what!
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder || This is a great powder for “baking” your face. This is a term for applying loose translucent powder on top of your concealer and foundation, leaving it on until it is set. Afterwards, you dust off the powder and you have a beautiful, matte complexion.
Coty Airpsun Loose Face Powder || I love this powder! It truly gives you a flawless finish. Plus it’s super inexpensive and an amazing drugstore find!
How to use || Once I’ve applied my foundation and concealer, I set my face with a setting powder. I set my under eyes and t-zone using this brush. (Your t-zone is where most people get oily first- forehead, nose, upper lip, and chin area.)
I hope this helps your makeup routine and helps your makeup stay through the hot summer months! Let me know if there’s a makeup product you use that you swear by for hot weather!
