My Summer Secrets

Hello beauties!

I am going to talk about some of my summer make up tips. These will be similar to my video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtpIHnDJtk8  but not exactly the same, so go ahead and check that out as well. (It was a year ago today that it was uploaded!). So let's jump right in.

1. Wear face make up with SPF in it. I would go for a BB cream because it is lighter than a foundation and it feels better in the heat of the summer. If you still would like more coverage, I would still go for a foundation with SPF. Wearing sunscreen underneath make up would make your face really greasy, but with the SPF built in it makes it less greasy and more dewy. Obviously, if you are going to be laying in the sun all day, you should wear SPF under your make up, but it isn't needed for a day-by-day basis.
2. Make sure the rest of your make up has either a cream base, or a primer. For example you can use cream blushes or eyeshadows and they will last through the sweat and the heat. You can set them with powder on top if you would like and the color will stay through the day as well. Honestly though,  with a powder on top the eyeshadows may crease a bit with the heat, but the color should stay.
3. Wear waterproof eye make up. I use waterproof eyeliner and mascaras again because of the sweating. I feel like it makes it last all through the heat. Also waterproof is good for oily skin, which a lot get oilier during summer.
4. Use a lot of lip balm. Your lips will be chapped quite a lot in the summer and it is great to keep them nice and moisturized. I like using a lip balm with SPF in it so I don't burn and further dry out my lips.
5. Finally, drink a LOT of water! This will keep your skin nice and healthy looking. Drinking water helps keep your face moisturized, and it helps with the dark bags under your eyes. Water will also help the chapped lips. Overall, drinking lots of water will help you this summer. Tip: if your pee is clear, it means you are fully hydrated.
