Cream Based Eyeshadow

Stay away from intense smokey eye look unless you want to end up with racoon at the end of the day. Instead, try a cream based eyeshadow with more natural tones. Try Go The Distance Double Color Eyeshadow by Mally, ($35)

Minimal Makeup

Bronzers are a great way to warm up the skin for that sun-kissed, natural look. Apply bronzer where the sun naturally hits the face such as the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin. Try NARS Bronzing Powder, ($32)

Powder Eyeliner

Control The Shine

Excessive sweating can make the skin look and feel more oily which causes your makeup to cake up. “Put down that powder, you don’t want to add to the cakiness!” Instead, grab yourself some oil-blotting sheets and let it do all the work. Try NYX Face Blotting Sheets 50 count, ($4.95)

Tinted Lip Balm

Though we can’t resist the lip gloss, it’s probably not the best choice to wear in the blazing heat. Trust me I know! Opt for a tinted lip balm. Not only will it moisturize the lips, it adds a touch of color. If you can find a tinted lip balm with SPF protection, that’s even better! Leave the lip gloss for nights. Try MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15, ($15)
