Fabulous Warm Weather Make-Up Tips

May 22, 2013 9:02 am

If you're hoping to freshen up your make-up routine this spring, here are five great tips for make-up that will make your style really shine!

Apply Bronzers
Adding some bronzer to your skin. It will give you summer tones without the harmful effects of the suns rays. On top of that, the new color you get will allow you to get by with less makeup. That's great, because less is more when it comes to warm weather makeup.

Use Cheek Stain
By using a light stain on your cheeks, you can bring out a natural-looking glow that will make you appear sun-kissed before you even set foot outside. Just a little bit can make a world of difference!

Shelve the Heavy Lipsticks
Skip lip makeup when the weather gets warmer, or keep it simple with a clear or lightly tinted balm. You'll get some subtle color, and also the added protection from the sun with the SPF that many lip balms have.

Purchase Primers
Sweat is not makeup's friend, and is a challenge that the warmer months often bring. Primers allow your foundation to stay in place significantly longer by creating a much-needed barrier between makeup and skin, and they help you to look fabulous without fear of smudges and creases.

Use a Brush 
Instead of applying foundation and moisturizer with your fingers, use a brush instead. Doing so will prevent extra oil from getting into your skin. Rubbing it in with your hands will often take moisture out of your face at the same time it's absorbing it.
