While the humid and heated temperature may seem challenging to wear makeup, using the right tips and techniques can make the job easy.
Using premium makeup brushes and products is definitely the right approach to elevate your summer looks. However, there also are certain considerations and techniques to ensure that your makeup is smooth and long-lasting. Let us dive into understanding the ultimate guide to achieving the perfect summer vacation makeup looks.
Pre-Makeup Steps for a Healthy and Flawless Skin
Before applying your makeup that looks flawless even in the humid temperature outside, it is crucial to prep your skin to create the perfect canvas. Here are a few steps to follow:
- Clean your face: First and foremost, clean your face with a gentle cleanser or face wash. It is important to get rid of dirt, oil and other impurities so that the skin can absorb products to be applied in a smooth manner.
- Moisturize: Hydrated skin is how you can achieve a radiant look and you must use a moisturizer that suits your skin type. Also, a lightweight and non-greasy moisturizer is perfect for summers to keep the skin plump and prevent the caking of makeup.
- Sunscreen: Never ever skip sunscreen every time you need to step out, no matter the season. Apply a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and allow your skin to absorb it fully before applying any makeup.
