Summertime makeup routines need a clean and natural look. Even during this time makeup meltdown occurs with even the very minimal amount of makeup. There are several factors that affect the longevity of makeup – heat, humidity, an active lifestyle and an individual’s skin type. There are some products that help you to keep a fresh-faced look.

Waterproof mascara: Choose brown for blondes and redheads, brown-black for brunettes, and soft black for very deep skin tones. Avoid using it if you have sensitive eyes since it contains more waxes and dyes, and you require an oil-based eye makeup remover.

Water-proof or sweat-proof foundations: For a bright face that attracts everyone look for brands that provide light or sheer coverage. Also make sure they contain ingredients such as film-forming polymers, silica (it provides a matte finish), and antioxidants C and E (these ward off damage from free radicals). Also the product should have a minimum SPF 15.

Eyeliner and eyebrow sealant: It helps to ensure that color or any unruly eyebrow hairs stay in place.

Lipstain: Color can last for up to 6 hours. It is normally available in a double ended wand with stain on one end and a clear sealant on other end. The latest clear sealant on lipstains contains collagen particles to give a lip plumping effect.
