You never want to spend a long time doing your makeup only to have it sweat off in the summer sun. Luckily, there are a few ways to help sweat-proof your makeup and keep your perfect appearance in place, even on the hottest days with these sweat-proof makeup tips.
Wear less – One of the easiest ways to increase the longevity of your makeup on a warm day is simply to wear less of it. According to M.A.C senior artist Pablo Rodriguez, skimping on your skincare routine and applying less foundation can help keep it from running. Furthermore, concealers and liners have an increased chance to crease when it is humid, so leaving them off the list for the day can ensure your makeup stays pristine longer.
Primer – Using a skin prep and primer can also keep your makeup in place when sweating. Rodriguez noted that oily skin makes makeup wear off faster, so prepping with a shine control product before putting on foundation can boost longevity. Try blotting away excess oil and layering a lightweight, mattifying primer for extra staying power.
Finish – A finishing spray is another way to ensure that your makeup lasts longer. Just a quick spray at the end will help set what you've applied and keep it in place for longer.
Use the right makeup – Certain foundations and cremes are formulated to last longer in warm weather. It can sometimes be beneficial to switch to different brands depending on the time of year or how much you think you will sweat so your heat-proof makeup look stays intact.
