Heat Wave Makeup

As things heat up for summer, our makeup may suffer. Long gone are the days of winter where we barely need a touch-up. Suddenly we're melting like popsicles and it's exhausting to even think about putting on a full face. That's not to say we don't love summer makeup, it's just that on a daily basis we might take down our routine a few notches.  Here are a few tips for a gorgeous, easy, melt-free summer look!
Here are 5 quick tips to help you handle the heat wave!

1. Don't skip primer. It matters! It's like the base coat for your face, it helps everything stick.

 2.  Switch to a tinted  moisturizer or BB cream for daytime. Foundation might feel too heavy in the sweltering sun.  Plus, lots of these formulas have SPF!

3. Learn to embrace one-step products for your lids. Lots of cream shadows now come with primer built in for incredibly long wear. Plus, you can sweep on one color, add mascara (waterproof or not) and go all day!
