Sweat-Proof your Makeup: Money Saving Tip
POSTED June 20, 3:49 PM

In these hot summer months, makeup on your face seems to just melt off.  So making your makeup last all day can be very challenging, especially if you have oily to combination skin. 

Here is a money saving tip you can apply to your morning routine to help your look stay fresh.

During your morning skincare routine, after applying your moisturizer or sunscreen, set your blow dryer to cool and blow it on your face for about 30 seconds.  This will allow your moisturizer to set into your skin before you apply your makeup.  That way your skin care products won't mix with your makeup and cause it to slide off later in the day.

If you prefer to purchase a product instead, a foundation primer is an excellent option to help your make-up last longer.  I suggest using "Prime Time" by Bare Essentials ($21).

It glides on your skin smoothly and evens out the texture of your skin for an even application of your foundation, blush, powder bronzer or eye shadow.
