Let’s get ready for summer with these makeup tips to keep you glowing, sexy, and protected from the sun.
When it comes to hotter weather, we don’t want to risk our makeup melting off, DUH. To ensure an even complexion, some sort of coverage is definitely beneficial - we just want to keep it light and fresh. Whether you’re looking for an everyday summer makeup look or just a summer day makeup look, you’ve come to the right place.
Let’s get into the tips to help keep us fresh:
1. Effective skincare routine
A good, effective skincare routine will help achieve a natural glow and an even skin tone. This, in turn, will allow you to use less makeup products for a hydrating, glowy, summer makeup look.
The most basic and effective skincare routine is: face wash, moisturizer, and spf. The hardest part can be understanding your skin type and your own skins’ needs, but once you are consistent with your skincare, it will pay off.
What products exactly should you buy? I have to be honest, that all depends on what your skin needs, so I can’t tell you specifically. However, I can say that Cetaphil or Cerave are brands that are affordable and for all skin types. You can also look here for more skincare tips and tricks!
2. Tinted moisturizer/light coverage foundation/BB or CC cream
For your base, any of these options are great for the summer. They all provide just the right amount of coverage for an even skin complexion without feeling like you have any makeup on.
And if you have great skin, you are welcome to skip this because all you need is a light coverage concealer.

Fenty Beauty - Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint ($36)
BareMinerals - Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($37)
Laura Mercier - Tinted Moisturizer Natural Skin Perfector Broad Spectrum SPF 30 ($49)
3. Additional complexion products
Liquid or cream products are your best bet for summer, daytime makeup looks. It gives a more natural look. Obviously, if you don’t want a natural look, then these tips are not for you.
Makeup Revolution - Conceal and Hydrate Concealer ($7)
Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circle Treatment Concealer ($10.99)
NYX - Bare with me Concealer Serum ($11)
Tower 28 Beauty - Swipe All-Over Hydrating Serum Concealer ($22)
Juvia’s Place - Blushed Liquid Blush ($18)
Rare Beauty - Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick ($26)
4. SPF Reapplication
This is the step that a lot of people don’t realize that they need. Even if you’ve applied an SPF product prior to your makeup, you still need to reapply. I know what you’re thinking: “how”? An SPF spray, SPF stick, or SPF powder!
Please, protect your skin from the sun, especially your beautiful face!
Shiseido - Clear Sunscreen Stick SPF 50+ ($30)
Supergoop! - Glow Stick Sunscreen SPF 50 ($26)
Supergoop! - (Re)Setting Refreshing Mist SPF 40 ($34)
bareMinerals - Mineral Veil Finishing Powder Broad Spectrum SPF 25 ($33)
5. Setting Spray
E.L.F. Cosmetics - Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray ($10)
One/Size - 'Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray ($32)
Setting spray will make all the difference when you’re outside all day.
When I say I am an oily and sweaty b!tch, I mean that with my whole ass chest. The amount of times I used to touch up was insane.
After trial and error, I finally found products that keep my makeup lasting all day, those two setting sprays mentioned above.
Warning: One/Size setting spray is very hairspray-esque. It’s not a bad thing, just different, and a nice warning LOL.
Continue to look and be your best self all summer, whether you’re wearing makeup or not! I hope these tips help you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin! Wherever you are, just know that you’re the baddest b!tch there! Soak up that sun, but don’t forget your SPF. Stay hot!
