Lighten up for Summer

As the summer days get hotter it is harder and harder to keep your make-up intact with the increase of sweat and oil on your face. We often don’t know at what point we should cut back on our make-up and let our skin breathe! The summer is the perfect time to reduce those sensual, deep colors and thick liquid foundations. With your skin exposed to the sun more often, your skin will often times have bronzy tones. This is perfect for summer beach looks that leave women looking fresh and young.  Just be sure you are besides taking precautions and using sunscreen.

It is recommended that women take away one product they typically would use for winter and fall months to lighten the summer make-up routine. If you typically use a primer cut back on the amount you use or supplement the primer for foundation instead.  Remember that as you sweat in the outrageous Arizona heat, your pores will open up allowing the thickness of liquid foundation to clog them.

Try switching to powder foundation, although it is often not as much coverage, it will feel lighter on your skin! We also recommend lightening up your lip shades or making more use of gloss. Summer eyes can be tricky as it is still appropriate to have a smoky darker eye make-up but we recommend doing this in moderation, maybe play with lighter fresher colors as well. Last but not least, you certainly want to make use of a bronzer, in some ways a bronzer can compensate for the amount of foundation you need to use. Do not go to heavy on a bronzer as your skin will already feature some of that summer glow, but do utilize the just off the beach look.
