Make-Up Tips For the Summer

Summer is the ideal season where you can get a natural tan if you are careful and protect yourself from the sun. However you should be careful with your makeup as a lot of people tend not to give it much importance.

In summer the use of bright colours is appreciated along with mascara. Avoid using lip liners in summer. Do not apply too many layers of foundation a natural look is best for summer. When you use a foundation make sure it has SPF protection added into the foundation. Spray face with water and apply powder to get a natural look.

The humidity tends to make the hair frizzier during summer and hence always moisturize your hair. Deep conditioning your hair helps it become softer. Protect hair from the harmful rays of the sun and the wind with a cap, hat or bandanna.

Use a gold shimmer shadow for the evenings in the summer to create a bright look. During the day you can use a light brown or nude shade of eye shadow for a beautiful natural look. If you have not used any protection like a hat or sunscreen lotion for your skin you can use a waterproof foundation for the under eyes and all over your face.

Summer causes a lot of blisters on the feet due to the sweat and dampness. A little powder on your feet helps prevent the dampness that causes the blisters. If you have blisters use a sterilized needle to clean it up along with cotton and a cleaning liquid. After cleaning it apply some antibiotic ointment and bandage the area.

Always apply sunscreen before stepping out of the house and wear sunglasses to cover your eyes. You could also use an ultra violet resistant topcoat to protect the skin. For your nails use a clear or coloured nail polish with ultra violet protection in it to protect it from damage.

In summer use waterproof products as you tend to sweat more especially eyeliners in different shades like navy blue, grey or chocolate brown. Blush should be in warm and sunny colours. Use gel based products for your hair. Hydrocortisone cream helps prevent any heat rashes on the skin. Lip colours should be kept natural with light and pastel shades. A simple lip gloss is adequate for summer and it helps moisturize and protect your lips. The final touch for any make up in summer is to spray with water.
