Makeup- heat wave edition!

Makeup picks- Heatwave Edition! 

I am sure loads of you guys and gals out there are absolutely loving the glorious (hot hot hot) sunshine (burn rays) that has hit England! But I also know that loads of you (including me) are trying to find a way to look presentable without all our bloody makeup melting off the face!! (I'm meltingggggggggggg.....)

So today I have for you a few of my best picks to keep my makeup looking fresh & radiant throughout a hot and humid day.

1) A GOOOOOD PRIMER!

 

This is the number 1 product I would recommend if you feel like your makeup slides off during the day in the heat (especially for you fellow oily skinned gals out there, i feel your pain). A good primer will do multiple things, it acts as a barrier between your skincare and your makeup making it less likely that your pores get clogged (yaaaaayyyy). 

A good primer also fills in pores and fine lines (this one is for the more mature ladies out there). But lastly and most importantly a primer will prolong the life of your foundation on the face, keep it looking fresh and stop oil breaking through and avoid making you look like a grease ball!!

Here are some of my suggestions:

2) A SETTING SPRAY

If you already use a good primer this isn't necessary, however it will prolong the life of your makeup. Try using Urban decay's setting sprays...they are cool and refreshing to spritz on your face in the heat and have the added bonus of making your foundation looking fabulous!

3) AN OIL FREE FOUNDATION/ TINTED MOISTURISER/ BB CREAM / CC CREAM (sooo many options!)

In the summer when it is hot and humid even you dry skinned girls & guys out there will find that your t-zone can get a little shiny (aka disco ball!). Using an oil free formula will decrease the grease on your face and keep your face looking fresh longer. Oil free formulations of foundation are usually always more long wearing. 

Hope you enjoy this post!
