10 Must-Have Makeup Products That Can Survive The Heat
Summer makeup products need to be more stress-tested than the rest of your seasonal products. There is so much more criteria to meet. Which foundations stop your skin from looking greasy? Should you use setting powder or setting spray? (Hint: it’s both.) Until brands start offering an anti-perspirant for your face, you’re going to have to batten down the hatches and use these products in order to maintain that summer glow-up.
1. Hydrating Primer
It’s important in summer to keep your skin as nourished as possible. A hydrating primer will protect your face while creating a great base for your makeup to go on. Try to pick a water-based primer, or if using silicone-based, opt for a silicone-based foundation. Makeup products that are made of the same materials will be much easier to buff out a stunning summer look with.
2. Full-Coverage, Long-Lasting foundation
Makeup products for summer need to be long-wear formulas in order to keep your face looking its best all day. The higher the quality, the less you’ll have to touch up on the go. Choose full-coverage as it will work best for evening out your skin tone. That summer sun may have kissed you in some places more than others, so opt for a formula that will even you out all over.
