Since this summer is already hitting record temperatures, I’d really like to see some info/tips on summer makeup.  Specifically, ways to keep your face from melting off.  I know waterproof eye products are a good idea, but I’d like to know what works best for everyone when it comes to foundation/skin coverage.

What do you recommend?  Tinted moisturizers?  BB creams?  Powders?

Any great primers to avoid a melting face?

What works best for you?

 

Stay cool out there,

 

Kim

;-)

 

P.S.–

I sweat.  A LOT.  Haha.

My thinky thoughts… I think something as simple as changing your moisturizer to something that’s more mattifying, if your face tends to get very oily in summer, may make a difference. Carry blotting papers with you; use a mattifying pressed powder (Urban Decay makes ones.) Make Up For Ever has a lot of waterproof/water-resistant products, and not just for the eyes. I know Mat Velvet+ foundation is water-resistant (I think Face and Body is as well).

Personally, I tend to reach for tinted moisturizer most during the summer (I use Bobbi Brown’s oil-free one). Lighter coverage, quick and easy.

Of course, some were better than others and I admit there were a few which were completely useless for me (to be fair, I imagine they’ed work for people with less oily skin than me), my fall back was always Missha M Perfect Cover. I found that setting powder made a huge difference, and that rice powder based setting powders seemed to work best for me over silica based ones when it came to longevity.

I’m a huge fan of BB creams, too, Aro, and I’ve been using the Missha M Perfect Cover.  But I’m having problems with the setting powder I use with it.  I sweat right through it.  I’ll try the rice powder and see if that works.  Thanks!
