It's in the 90s again today. You know, the melting heat that makes your lipstick suddenly feel like you have gloss on instead?
High temps, oil and sweat work against keeping that makeup on but I have worked and tested to find hot weather staples that go the distance against melting heat. Since I have even more melt than most people, these really made the grade. (Links to previous reviews included if applicable.)
Lips- Hourglass Aura Lip Stain- Unlike a lot of lip stains this doesn't feel dry on lips and isn't sheer. It also doesn't melt in the heat . With medium pigment and a waterlight feel it lasts longer than gloss and leaves no sticky mess behind when it does begin to wear off.
Foundation - Many might skip foundation in the heat. I'm not one of them. I want a base and need it to help keep the oil at bay . Ones that are the most meltproof, with the least wear off have been Shiseido's UV Protection Liquid , Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder and Cover Girl's new Ready ,Set Gorgeous, which says it is humidity resistant and has really surprised me with how well it holds up.
Waterproof Mascara- When the humidity and dewpoint skyrocket , mascara goes down, down your eyes that is. Keep those lashes strong with a waterproof, budge proof mascara. The ones that work best for me ? MAC Extended Play , Cover Girl Last Blast Fusion Waterproof and Clinique's new Lash Power Feathering
Eyes- Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow - These long wear creams are a saver in Summer. Easy to apply and long lasting, grab a beige or golden shade for a wash of color that even if it does wear off, doesn't leave behind a streaky mess. MAC's Paint Pots also do really well.
Cheeks- The NARS Mulitple -Creams are easier to apply to sticky skin without streaks but many , at least on me , are too creamy and fade fast. The Multiple dries to a powdery finish but it's still easy to blend. My fav shades ? Puerta Vallarta and South Beach.
