How To Keep Your Make Up on When Its Hot / Make Up Tips For The Heat

In todays post I wanted to address an issue alot of us have during the summer when it comes to makeup and that is how to keep your makeup on when its HOT!! As a blogger I'm always searching for the perfect light and that means being outside sometimes in ninety plus degree weather to take get the right shot. So I totally understand the struggles of having a face full of makeup  in the heat and I thought I would share five tips to help keep your makeup on when it's hot.

First Tip is less is more try to keep your products to a minimum this is not the time to layer on. Try an oil free tinted moisturizer or if you are on the go a stick.
Stay away from greasy things like glosses or heavy creams. 

Second Tip DO NOT TOUCH YOUR FACE even if you're sweating even if it's POURING down your face resist the urge to touch your face. Touching your face transfers bacteria but also your makeup transfers. It dosnt stay on your face which is where you want. Instead if you want to be outside for an extended period of time while it's hot invest in a hand held fan.

Third Tip is a new beauty sensation its intended to help keep you matte all day and that is to put your powder on before your makeup. I personally use a setting powder for this the Ben Nye powder. The Logic behind it is simple, the powder acts as a base (in addition to your primer) that will absorb moisture and oils. So if starts to get hot the powder will help reduce the effect of the heat. 

Final tip is to set set everything you put on your face. If you put on a cream eyeshadow set it with a  powder same thing for blush and set your entire face for setting I like to use  Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in deep dark with a makeup setting spray (use the Gerald all day spray). MSF is a great product, gives you a glow without the grease.

Since we are sharing about makeup I also thought I would share some of my beauty and skincare picks from the Nordstrom anniversary sale.
