Summer Makeup Must-Haves

It’s finally summer! It’s time to plan fun outings with your friends and family, go swimming, and enjoy the warm weather. Wondering if your makeup is going to stay on should be one of your last concerns this summer. Below is a list of some makeup essentials that will make you look effortlessly flawless this season.

 

Waterproof Mascara

Unlike traditional mascaras, which are made from a water base, waterproof formulas are created from a mixture of oils, which makes them less likely to smear and give you those notorious raccoon eyes.

Great Waterproof Mascaras: Maybelline Lash Discovery Waterproof Mascara; Yves St Laurent Volume Effet Faux Cils.

BB Crème
BB creams (short for beauty or blemish creams) are like tinted moisturizers packed with antioxidants, anti-aging ingredients, plus offer broad-spectrum SPF. They help to hydrate your skin while evening out skin tones.

Great BB Crème’s:  Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream SPF 35 for fair to medium complexions; IMAN Skintone evener BB Crème SPF 15 for deeper complexions.

Lip Stains

Lips stains are perfect for giving you that natural just bitten lip. They come in a variety of colors and are waterproof. These are perfect for adding a little color on your lips while you’re on the beach or out late with friends.

Great Lip stains: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain; Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks.

Waterproof Brow Gel

A waterproof brow gel is a smart way to shape and groom your brows. This smudge-free formula prevents your brows for coming off on a hot day.

Great Brow Gels: Dipbrow Pomade Anastasia Beverly Hills; Makeup Forever Aqua Brow.

Setting Spray

Paired with a primer, a great setting spray can help you makeup stay on for up to 16 hours. These are perfect for late nights so you won’t have to continuously reapply or touch up your makeup.

Great Setting Sprays: NYX Dewy and Matte Finish Setting Spray; Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray.
