    Moisturize and protect

    Switch out heavier foundations for a BB cream or tinted moisturizer. These products will be more likely to outlast sweat because of their light liquid consistency – no caking here.

    Lighten up

    Similar to switching your foundation, use lighter-weight concealers to cover your blemishes. Concealers are typically suffocating, so it is important to pick a lighter one for days when the sun beats down so your skin can breathe.

    Make it last

    Eye shadow primer really comes in handy during the summer when humid air and sweating hairlines can make eye shadow disappear. Pick a good primer and it won’t budge all day.

    Bright eyes

    Lighter colors work best for eyes in the summer. Smudging will be less noticeable - if the hot day does get the better of you, you won’t have raccoon eyes by the end of it.

    Anti-smudge

    Waterproof mascara is also sweat-proof. This stuff will stay on your lashes no matter what summer hijinks you get up to.

    Fresh-faced

    Throughout the day, carry blotting papers with you to absorb excess sweat without ruining your makeup. A couple dabs here and there can keep your skin looking fresh all day.
