LIFESTYLE: Less is more when it comes to make-up in the summer.
A dewy look can easily turn to an oil-slick look as make-up melts and eyeliner slides across the face as the day wears on.
FIVE essential products to avoid this happening include:
1. Primer- this is applied after moisturiser and before foundation. A primer gives a good base for foundation and helps to maintain a lasting good.
It also helps to give longer foundation coverage.
This Stay Flawless product is advertised as an über-long-lasting primer but at €35.50, it is quite expensive.
Garnier 5 Second Perfect Blur Primer 30ml
I would avoid this if you are prone to an oily complexion as it can give a ‘too shiny’ look. It’s currently on offer at Cara Pharmacy at €12.79.
This Rimmel Product is a good option for oily-skins. Priced at €8.25, it eliminates shine and smooths the skin.
2. Set foundation with translucent powder. This also helps to maintain coverage. Try and use one with a high SPF. Sometimes changing to use a powder make-up or foundation doesn’t have oil as an ingredient also helps to reduce shiny complexions.
3. Use a waterproof eyeliner.
4. Apply a waterproof mascara.
5. Lipstick can appear a little heavy in the summer, a pop of colour from a vibrant gloss stands out just as much.
