How to wear make-up in summer: the steps to take for a light and anti-hot make-up

As in winter the skin needs covering products that protect it from the cold and atmospheric agents, so in summer you need first of all a good sun protection that protects you from redness, burns and the onset of spots. To do this, simply choose cosmetics and hydration products that have a higher protection factor against UV rays, precisely to avoid stains in the first place, one of the main consequences of sun exposure.

Light and natural make-up: the ideal make-up base for summer

After this first step, you can proceed with a light makeup base. Choose a foundation with an impalpable texture, preferably the mineral powder foundation, which does not clog the pores, is not excessively opaque and does not make the skin shiny - another nasty problem, known to many women. If you prefer liquid foundation, be sure to choose a mattifying one, able to minimize the effects of excess sebum, the production of which increases further with the summer heat.

As for the color, try to adapt it according to your skin. With the summer, you will undoubtedly be a little more tanned, so you should choose a foundation with a slightly darker tone than the one you buy all year round. Or, keep a slightly darker foundation on hand, which you will need to supplement your usual foundation, with small doses of your choice, progressively following the color of your tanned skin.

Powder is an excellent aid for summer make-up: it contrasts the shiny effect and is therefore an indispensable element. When you apply it, wait a few seconds so that it sets well, and eventually remove the excess with a brush. Remember: don't be afraid to overdo it, on the contrary, you can use it several times a day to limit the effect of shiny skin.

Summer eye makeup: shimmer eyeshadows and waterproof mascara

Whether you have brown, green or blue eyes, summer makeup requires shimmer eyeshadows in delicate and light shades. Avoid dark colors, too heavy and not suitable for summer. Gold, copper, bronze and orange tones are perfect, in their brightest and warmest shades.

To prevent the eye shadow from accumulating on the crease of the eye forming the typical line, apply a primer base, preferably in peach tones, which will allow you to better fix the eyeshadow and ensure perfect hold.

Do not give up on mascara, indeed, continue to apply it, obviously without exaggerating. The only precaution: choose the waterproof one, also perfect for the beach.

How to wear makeup naturally: the perfect summer makeup for cheeks and lips

As previously said, the important thing is to keep the natural effect, but this can be easily achieved by applying the blush anyway: choose bright and bright colors and a powder texture, which allows you to avoid the unpleasant shiny effect. The coral, fuchsia and watermelon colors are perfect: do not overdo it, however, spread it only on the upper part of the cheek to give more brightness to the face.

The ideal summer makeup for the lips consists of a transparent gloss that illuminates without excessively weighing the whole thing down. If you really can't resist fiery red or fuchsia lips, at least remember to opt for a light eye make-up, to avoid overdoing it.
