SWEAT-PROOF BEAUTY
Summer might not be upon us yet, but we’ve gotten a few teases of the warm weather to come. So when your regular beauty products don’t hold up to sunshine or dancing at Dillo (but you still want a full face), give these sweat-proof favorites a try.
Sun Protection
SPF might not be the first thing to come to mind when you think of makeup, but sunscreen is the most important product you should be applying. UV rays can affect your skin even when the sun isn’t shining, so try a lightweight, non-shiny formula under moisturizer or makeup.
Our suggestions:
Shiseido Oil-Free UV Protector SPF 42 for Face, $32
Foundation
When you think “sweat-proof,” your instinct might be to reach for matte foundation and powders, but working with the heat is your best bet. Try moisture-rich, waterproof formulas for sheer coverage that keeps your skin (intentionally) dewy.
Our suggestions:
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB 8-in-1 Beauty Balm, $8.99
Eyeshadow Primer
Eyeshadow primer is the best defense against oily eyelids. Keep shadow from creasing by applying a thin layer of primer on your lids and setting it with a translucent powder.
Our suggestions:
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion, $20
Mascara
The last thing you want to worry about while soaking up the sun is black streaks running down your cheeks. Use a waterproof formula to keep your lashes from melting off throughout the day.
Our suggestions:
bareMinerals Flawless Definition Waterproof Mascara, $19
Lipstick
Spring and summer is the perfect time to break out your bright lipsticks, but the heat can wreak havoc on your lips. To keep lipsticks from smearing, opt for liquid matte formulas. And, if you want a shinier finish, layer a pigmented gloss or lip oil over the matte formula for long-lasting shine.
