How to Keep Your Summer Makeup Fresh?

Sweltering heat and humidity can wreak havoc with your summer makeup.

Steps:

• Skip the foundation, if possible, and opt for a tinted moisturizer. If foundation is necessary, limit application to the center of the face, steering clear of the hairline.

• Consider switching to an oil-free formula during the summer months or dilute your everyday foundation with an oil-free moisturizer. This lighter coverage will fare better when temperatures heat up.

• Dust any coverage with a little loose powder. Use blush sparingly, letting your sun-kissed cheeks grab the attention.

• Blot any perspiration or oil buildup with non-powdered blotting papers. Or substitute a clean tissue, pressing gently into moist areas.

• Remove under-eye foundation or powder buildup with a clean cotton swab. Resist the temptation to reapply unless you feel it absolutely necessary.

• Reapply loose powder only. Pressed powder has the tendency to cake and clump when hit with moisture.

Tips:

• Keep lips protected and moisturized. Use a lip balm that has an SPF and consider switching to a moisture-rich lipstick.

• Battle summer blemishes with a superior nighttime treatment so there's less reason to cover up come morning.
