Summer’s unforgiving heat and humidity can wreak havoc on your beauty regimen if you haven’t updated your products. As a general rule, you’ll want to swap out your regular formulas for lighter ones that will allow your skin to breathe easier and play up your natural beauty for a more relaxed feel to mimic the season. These five easy updates will make your summer makeup look current and fresh.
5 Easy Ways to Update Your Summer Makeup
- Update to a Darker Shade of Foundation – Even if you’re not tanning, your skin will be more exposed to the sun’s rays during the warmer months. Be sure to update your foundation to match your current skin tone and opt for a formula with SPF.
- Use a Tinted Moisturizer – Warmer weather calls for lighter application. Allow your skin to breathe easier by trying a tinted moisturizer instead of fuller, heavier foundation.
- Use Bronzer – Play up your natural glow with a bronzer to enhance your skin’s warmer summer complexion. One of my favorites is Motives for La La Mineral Bronzing Shimmer Powder.
- Replace Your Mascara – Mascara should be replaced seasonally, every 2 to 3 months, so by the time summer rolls around, be sure to swap out your old tube for a fresh one in a lighter, even water-proof formula, like Motives Lustrafy Waterproof Mascara in Blackout.
- Use a Lighter Formula for Lips – Instead of using thicker, creamier lipstick, opt for a lighter balm or dewy gloss in either nude or brighter, flirtier shades, like Motives Illuminating Lip Shine in Miami Heat.
