Sweat-Proof Summer Makeup

 
I take time to get all dolled up in the summer but then I always get all sweaty! How can I keep the sweat under control and still have a pretty summer glow?

Girl, you are not alone! Sweating can put a major damper (literally) on any diva's day. We've got the tools and techniques you need to know to get rid of the sweat and keep you glistening in the sun.

Use oil-free face wash and moisturizers. Even though you might think that moisturizing is the last thing you need to do when you're sweating up a storm, it's still important because it'll keep your skin looking healthy and fresh. And the water-based products, rather than oil-based, will keep your skin from getting greasy during the day. Pick up a moisturizer with SPF for an added bonus!
 
 
 
 
 
Go easy on the makeup. You've already got the sunkissed look, so you don't need to cake on foundation. Use cover-up to hit any blemishes or pimples but leave the rest of your skin bare. To get a soft summer glow, blend a little highlighter into the apples of your cheeks and brow bones. Your skin will be able to breathe and your pores won’t be covered by loads of powder.
 
Carry something with you to pick up perspiration. You've got lots of options—cleansing wipes, a pressed powder compact or oil blotters. All will do the job and help fight the sweat. If you're acne-prone, steer clear of powder compacts since it can clog up your pores.

whats a blotter?
thx Smile




Hey girl, I'd imagine a blotter in terms of make-up is the same thing as an oil absorbing sheet: you can use it to take the excess oil off your face during the day.

Can you suggest a good concealer to cover my zits with?

 

Hey babe,

The best concealer for you depends on what your skin is like. If you have oily or dry skin a different kind of make up might keep your skin healthier. Check out the labels and try out a few on your hand before you buy them!

i love this article but I can't afford all this stuff! I already have proactiv which is working wonders with my skin. So I don't need the face wash. I still need the face moisturizer with spf, the concealer, the highlighting powder, and oil blotting sheets. I added up the costs to the ones I would like to buy and it equals $37.00!!!! Help!!!







Hey girl!  You don't have to buy everything if it's too expensive. Try a couple if that's all you can afford.  If it's still too expensive, try alternative products that are more affordable.  Best, Kristen

Hey ****MODDD****, can you approve of my tips, my mom gave 'em to me and I want to make sure they're legit.
1. Don't plaster on makeup like it's going out of style! All I like to wear is mascara, blush on my cheekbones, eyeshadow, and lipgloss. Use tones that match with your skintone. I have tanner skin so for:
Eyeshadows: light blues, light greens, and bronzes look really cute. But make the blues and greens the only neon color if you use it; use a subtle lipgloss and blush.
Blush: Smile while you apply it. Your cheeks should show your cheekbones and only apply there. I love using light or hot pinks.
Lip Gloss: I'm totally for shiny glosses, they're a total turn-on. Trust me! If you used a blue or green, make it a pale shade. Not, like, neon pink! If all other makeup is light, make it a neon color!
What do you think MOD? Good tips?

 

Hey girl, those are all the tips you need for make up! <3 Jeannie
