That 30+ weather making sweat drip all over your face?

And not all your makeup is coming off with the sweat, too; yikes!!!

Tell me about it…

With summer here, you’ll need a list of all the sweat-proof, waterproof, bulletproof, and mistake-proof makeup for all your needs. Sheesh, good luck taking it off at the end of the day.

1. Face Sunscreen

Let’s start with a good SPF because looking like a burnt zucchini is a no-no. We’re not doing that this summer; were you lacking last summer?

Let’s make sure you stock up on an essential, like Sunscreen, this summer. One of my favourites has been the Laneige Hydro UV Defense Broad Spectrum Sunscreen with SPF 50. It leaves no white cast, gives a healthy glow to the skin and keeps your skin hydrated and nourished the entire day. I use this everyday rain or shine as a part of skin prep.

10/10 for Sunscreen in my books. You’re welcome!

 

2. Primer

If you’re wearing makeup, you want to make sure it’s not moving anywhere! I have two primers that get the job done.

First, the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer. The tackiness of this primer helps my makeup last all day. You want to wait a minute for this to dry, then apply your products.

Second is the One Size Secure The Sweat Mattifying Primer, a great primer to lock in your makeup all day. In general, One Size Beauty has a great selection to lock in your makeup all day… literally locked in, not moving.

 

3. Concealer

I love minimal makeup, especially in hot ass humid weather. I skip foundation altogether.

I have been loving a drugstore product, the NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum for concealer. This one is great for spot concealing, super lightweight and gives excellent coverage.

Another alternative is the Kosas Concealer; I love how creamy this one is, and it also gives great coverage, especially for under eyes.

 

4. Tint

If you’re looking for a product all over the face, I recommend using a bb cream or a skin tint.

One of my ABSOLUTE faves is the Fenty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint. When I tell y’all, finding a shade that matches your colour in this is so easy. The coverage is buildable, so it’s nice for a natural everyday look. Highly recommend this skin tint, especially for summer use!!!

 

5. Foundation

Even though I skip out on foundation altogether during summer, to anyone who likes foundation in the summertime, especially for a night out, the Fenty Pro Filter Foundation is another excellent sweat-proof product, as it is mattifying.

 

6. Eyeshadow

*The eyes chico. They never lie*

So if you want to do eyeshadow, I’d keep it simple and do a stick or cream to sweep on the eyelids. I have been loving the Bobbi Brown Longwear Cream Shadow Stick. It stays put all day and is very easy to apply.

 

If you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, the NYX Jumbo Eye pencils are perfect for eyeshadow, and they are highly pigmented and last a long time.

 

7. Mascara

Drugstore

Next, mascara, of course! For Waterproof mascara, we’ll give you a high-end as well as a  drugstore suggestion.

So let’s start with the drugstore. L’Oréal Lash Paradise Mascara is waterproof and smudge-proof mascara, giving your lashes breathtaking volume! When I tell you that mascara will not budge. A MUST-HAVE for a pool day.

High-End

Now for high-end, I love me a Lancôme Mascara, honestly any of them and with a waterproof formula. Amazing!

 

8. Bronzer

I almost forgot a bronzer and blush… how could I?

Alright, so I’ve loved the GloWish Soft Radiance bronzer from Huda Beauty. The swirl two-toned bronzer gives the perfect amount of sun-kissed to the skin, and with a vegan formula, your skin will love it! If you want to swap out for just a cream bronzer, the Match Stix from Fenty Beauty is a must-try!

 

9. Blush

On to blush, again for a powder (this one is a hidden gem), the Rimmel Maxi Blush. This needs to get more hype; so much pigment packed in these blushes, and for such a low price!!! Try them out if you haven’t yet!

So for cream blush… you already know it will have to be the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush by Rare Beauty, that pea-sized amount for all that pigment that’s a no-brainer.

 

10. Lippies

I don’t know about you, but I feel complete with SOME gloss or lip liner; it just ties a whole look together. The Refy Lip Sculpt Lip Liner is such a game-changer for lip liners.

I apply this once, and it stays in place all day. I’d keep the look simple with a gloss or lip balm; I love the NYX Butter Glosses. It’s like lipstick and gloss in one; you have to re-apply. However, the pigment on these is impressive, and the texture is very smooth and velvety. Love it!

11. Setting Spray

Of course, the hairspray for the face, Setting Spray! An essential for a locked-in look that lasts you all day. Two suggestions for this one as well

Drugstore

First, the One Size On ‘Til Dawn Setting Spray. This doesn’t even come off when you go in a pool; this is perfect for summer days.

High-End

Next has to be the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray; if it’s anything you need from her line, it’s definitely this!!

I love this setting spray and use it whenever I have a full beat; it’s refreshing and keeps my makeup fresh all day. Must have, for sure!

……………………………………………………………………………..

So you beautiful, sweaty and sometimes oily girly, ready to tackle this summer heat? You are more than ready!

Go for some food and drinks on the patio, go to that pool party, confident you don’t need any touch-ups with this list. And most importantly, protecting your skin with that Sunscreen!

You can thank me later with a sangria on the patio.
