Stop Makeup Meltdown – Preserve Your Makeup During Hot Summer Months

Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off for summer time, which means the heat is about to wreak havoc on your makeup. But no matter what time of year it is, your makeup can have a meltdown at any time of the day. So how can you stop this from happening? Some straightforward, quick tips will help stop makeup meltdown.

The Main Fix-All

Normally there is not one fix-all product, but in this case, there is, and it’s called makeup primer. No matter what the season or temperature, having a good makeup primer on hand can be a real lifesaver. Basically, makeup primer is there as a multi-tasker for your skin. First and foremost a good makeup primer will keep all of the hard work you just did with your makeup, in place. As a bonus, the primer will also minimize the appearance of lines and pores. Normally makeup primers, such as Smashbox Photofinish Foundation Primer (Compare Prices) or Nars Makeup Primer work well on the face, but if you want your eyeshadow to stay, you may want to check out a long-lasting eyeshadow like Clinique Quick Eyes Cream Shadow.

Fast Face Fixes

Okay, so makeup primer can be a multi-tasking fix-all for makeup meltdown and then some. But as we all know, you’re not going to go out with only makeup primer on your face. So what foundation is the best at withstanding extreme conditions? In two words: Mineral Makeup. Especially in the summertime, when it’s hot, and you don’t feel like piling on the makeup, mineral makeup can be a godsend. It’s just as easy to apply and just as quick to boot. The bonus is that it will wear all day, not slide off your face, and leave you looking natural all hours of the day and night. Since mineral makeup already has good staying power, when you partner it up with a makeup primer you get the best slip-proof makeup on the planet.

What About Your Lips?

Since your eyeshadow problems were basically covered under the makeup primer section, and we’ve unearthed the staying power of mineral makeup, what are you supposed to do about your lips? That’s an easy fix too. There are two products you need to help keep your lips in place. First, you need a good lip stain such as Benefit Benetint, or you can make your own by following the directions for this Quick and Easy at-Home Lip Stain. Lip stain is great to use because you can stain your lips and then just use a little lip balm on top, or you can wear it under lipstick or lip gloss to help it stay in place longer. As a bonus, once your lipstick or lip gloss fades you will still have a beautifully colored pout.

The second product you need in order to keep your lips in check would be a great long-wear lip gloss. L’Oreal Infallible Lipgloss lasts for up to six hours and is very creamy and moisturizing. Another great long-lasting lip gloss is Clinique Long Last Glosswear with SPF15 because it has SPF 15 built in and it will last up to six hours. When you add a long-lasting lip gloss to a lip stain, imagine the possibilities.

The Final Tip

As a final tip, especially in summer, if you have oilier skin, then you should think of carrying a small pack of oil blotting papers with you. Sure in a pinch you could use tissue paper, toilet paper, or even the tissue toilet seat covers, but it’s more convenient to have a pack on hand. You will find that by wearing a foundation primer with mineral makeup over it, you will have less oil than normal. This is an extra bonus, but it doesn’t mean that you won’t have any oil, especially in extreme heat. So as a precaution, you should hide a little pack of oil blotting papers in your bag or your car’s glove compartment.
