While planning your summer looks, it’s important to not leave the makeup behind for you don’t want the horror of blotchy eyes, melted lipstick, and a shiny face. (Thanks, but we got the sun covered to do the shine job!) Save yourself from a sweaty, cakey disaster and turn to these summer makeup essentials that will keep that perfect summer look natural and keep it intact while making it last longer!
FACE
Walking around in summers during the daytime feels like marching in a heat parade of about 100-degree heat! Say hello to sweat that trickles down and takes down the entire makeup with it in one swipe. To avoid this weather-worn makeup mess, stick to products that are lightweight and non-greasy, yet that work their magic of protecting your skin against harsh sun. That said, sunscreen is a must and one would commit a beauty sin by not applying the quintessential sunblock. Here are two more must-haves that will save you from a full-face beat!
[1] Faces Canada, Weightless Matte Finish Foundation
The scorching sun can make even a little foundation feel like an entire cake on your face. Ditch the heavy foundations and turn to the Weightless Matte Finish Foundation by Faces Canada for a seamless look that doesn’t cake up even before the sun’s rays hit your skin!

A good blush gives that natural, dewy glow and adds to the healthiness of the look. Take Ciaté London Glow-To Illuminating Blush as one of the leading examples of how to get the blush game right when summer plays the makeup spoilsport.
EYES
Thanks to the lovely shades that shade our eyes from the flaring sun’s light, the damage is less. But eyes being the most sensitive feature of a face, need some summer TLC exclusively.
