simple, sweat proof, summer time makeup

Summer Sweat Proof Makeup








When the hot July sun heats the world up to a sticky 104 degrees & you spend the first part of the day alone in a little corner office, makeup is often axed from your morning routine (read: ain't nobody got time for that). But, here's what I pull from my makeup drawer when I want a little summertime color that won't melt off my face into a foundation-lipstick puddle. The key is using a setting spray like Urban Decay's All Nighter before and after application. After that, your make up might as well be glued to your face.

On a side note, let's take a moment to ooooh and awwwe over theBalm's Instain blushes. If these babies ever go on sale at Hautelook again, grab yourself a couple & enjoy a pigmented color that will last and last and then last some more.

Not noted are a few fabulous items: the black waterproof eyeliner from Jane & MAC Pro Longwear Concealer used as an eyeshadow primer.

What are your favorites for the heat? My mascara's on it's last leg & I'm on the hunt for something new.

    1. I'll be on the hunt for some this weekend. And Texas was that hot when we were visiting a few weeks ago! But I'm from Utah. So maybe a slight exaggeration. Everything after 98 feels the same, yeah?
