Beauty That Survives the Heat

Summer is great—until your makeup starts sliding off before the day is over.

The key to keeping your makeup looking fresh in the heat is to keep things light. Swap heavy foundations for lighter coverage products, start with a good primer, and finish with a setting spray to help everything stay put. Waterproof mascara and long-wear lip products can also make a big difference on hot, humid days.  Smart Cosmetic and Skincare Studio is a great place for makeup education to learn how to find the right mix for summer makeup!

If you notice extra shine throughout the day, blotting papers are your best friend. They absorb oil without making your makeup look cakey.

Most importantly, don't forget your SPF! Healthy, protected skin is the foundation of any great makeup look.  Have you tried any of Smart's SPF products?  We have several different types and the first 12 to purchase any skincare product receive an adorable straw sun hat/visor!

The best summer beauty routine is one that looks effortless, feels comfortable, and lets you enjoy every sunny day without worrying about touch-ups.
