How to hold your makeup when it's hot?

This summer temperatures are reaching new heights. Our usual make-up is at the back of the bathroom waiting for autumn. Two solutions are available: to be brave enough to spend the summer like Alicia Keys at the last Grammy Awards, that is to say the bare skin, or adapt her beauty routine to the heat wave.

Neither do you need to break your PEL, nor spend the night on your computer ordering two hundred products to be on top this summer. Just follow a few targeted precepts and you're done.
Remember that you want to highlight your cheerful air on the beaches of your vacation or coffee terraces during the lunch break.

Face cream: place with gels and serums

Under no circumstances will you take care of your skin. The NTH (cleanse, tone, moisturize) is not negotiable wherever you are. We adopt a cleanser that rinses with water to block the imperfections, a toner that tightens the pores and finally a serum and a gel moisturizer even if with the surrounding humidity one might think that it is too much. Before applying make-up spread by keeping light hand on the face, neck and décolleté a primer.

Foundation, concealer: choose liquid textures

The thick formulas, you will avoid. They clog the skin and prevent it from breathing. Added to the humid and hot air it quickly feels like choking.

For a sublime natural skin we just arm a liquid anti-dark circles . Applied by touch under the eyes and on the skin defects it makes a skin without defect and so we put in his closet the foundation and the BB cream not adapted to the heat. For a more summery mine, think of a tinted light cream.

Lips: opt for stubborn inks

Transparency, you will promote. For a smile, adopt the new lips inks, stubborn and perfect for surfing the "bite-bit lips" trend that is really back on vacation. To play on the cheek, it is applied on the cheeks.

In the evening, choose a more sophisticated matte ink and set your sights on a translucent powder. Aerial, it matifies and embellishes without effect of matter.

Mattifying base and waterproof products: our best allies

Shine, you will refuse. The primer applied before makeup remains your best ally. As soon as the slightest trace of sweat appears, pat your face without rubbing with a tissue. Nothing better was found to not clog the pores.

The waterproof, you will not forget. The benefits of waterproof makeup and mascaras are undeniable as soon as the thermometer turns red. The lisptick remains on the lips, the foundation no longer debouches on the neck of the white T-shirt and there is no similarity with the baby panda Beauval Zoo. Chained meetings and dating without dripping then becomes a breeze. And always: the less it is the better. Have a light hand.

Finally, nature, you will help: it is well known we lack energy when it is hot. Do not want to wear makeup? Try eyelash extension * . Look rejuvenated, zero mascara accident and incendiary glare guaranteed for three weeks.
