Hey, Girls, it’s summertime and many of you must be too worried about the summer blues and especially the ones who love to dab makeup before every exit from the home. Looks are important and so the presentation hence avoiding makeup in summer is nearly impossible.
But using a few cosmetics you can stop worrying and give the summer a breezy welcome. The blistering time of the summer season calls for sweat more than the amount of oil for the extractions, and those who have oily skin need to be a little more careful. Simple tricks and the right use of make-up will give you the perfect and mess-free look.
Base Makeup
First of all, wash your face well with any face wash or oil cleanser, it should be oil-free and do not forget to put the primer before you start makeup, it would make your makeup’s life span high and your skin look smooth especially when you go to the office or to any important place. After applying the primer, use translucent powder or matte finish compact depending on your skin colour. Since it is the morning time, put SPF primer for which you can save the skin from the Sun rays. The type of foundation is important while choosing it for application on the skin. The oil based foundation is a long lasting one. There are a few ways to put makeup in the morning; using an SPF’ BB stick or cream. Tinted moisturiser is also a very good option. For the night part of make-up, apply the primer and then use a BB stick or a concealer. You can put a calamine lotion if the skin is too sensitive. Apply any shine-free oil on it and the skin will return to the sheen.
Eyes & Lips
Do not put too much foundation on your face, and for eye makeup go for the way you like. To start with do not forget to put an eye shadow primer before unleashing the eye makeup. This will help the colour of the eyeshadow to stay for a long time. Choose colours like golden brown and black during the day. The colour of eye shadow must be in accordance with your dress and it should also be remembered that eyeliner, kajal, and mascara must be waterproof. For thick eyelashes, use waterproof mascara. While choosing the colour of a lipstick, if you choose nude or pop hues it should be satin finish and do not use lip glosses before applying lipstick instead apply the foundation and compact on the lips before the application of lipstick. This way lipstick will last for a long time. Use bronzers instead of blush on.
Hair
Now it’s time for your hairstyle. Since summer days are sultry it is very difficult to choose the right type of hairdo with clothes, except for short hair, for long and medium hair any style can be adopted. For example, a side low bun or a side braid will look great with any dress.
With these simple tricks, one can beat the summer and yet look fashionable. Go high with make-up in the summers.
