Summers are all about hot weather, light-coloured clothes, and light-weight makeup to complete the look. The hot weather doesn’t allow for full coverage or heavy makeup looks, especially during the day. But women cannot compromise on looking even hotter for our day-to-day events and gatherings.
When it comes to clothes, cotton clothes are the best as they are breathable, light weight, and skin-friendly, as opposed to synthetic clothes that give a rich look but are not too friendly on the skin in such a weather.
Coming to our makeup next. There are some essential steps in skin prep before makeup, which include cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sunscreen. These steps are said not to be avoided so that the skin is protected from all the layers of makeup to be applied to it along with the harmful UV rays from the sun. But on the contrary, if someone has extremely oily and sweaty skin, then the moisturizing step can be skipped. Sunscreen can be applied, followed by a primer, and then a light-weight foundation.
Make-up professionals advise that the girls should start their skin care in their 20s; otherwise, it is of no use when that age crosses. So, start caring for your skin as early as possible because once you enter your 30s, regaining skin glory will be tough. Your skin would have been damaged by exposing you to harmful rays and cosmetic products over the years.
One of the important game changers here for your makeup is letting your primer absorb into the skin. Take a few minutes to let it settle down before applying your foundation, corrector, or concealer.
Less is always more in terms of makeup, as it is buildable. We can provide high coverage as well using a light-weight foundation. What matters is how we apply and blend it. Taking more of the product means there are more chances of it being melted in hot weather.
Usually, people with dry skin also face issues like an oily T zone in hot weather conditions. In this case, if the skin is prepared well, then any type of foundation can be used, be it gel-based or cream-based. We have always seen that it is mentioned on almost all cosmetic products, whether they are suitable for dry skin, oily skin, or all skin types. But it would be contradicted by saying that all types of foundation and concealer can be used on any skin type if the cleansing, toning, and moisturizing are done as per the person’s skin needs. You no longer need to avoid NARS radiant foundation if you have dry skin, yet it is your favorite one. All you need to do is do proper skin prep.
As we all know, it is very difficult to keep the makeup intact amidst all the sweating and unfavorable weather conditions; hence, it is of foremost importance to set all your cream products with a powder first and then, at the end, set all the powder work using a fixing spray. It is important to let it dry completely using a hand fan or by sanding right under a ceiling fan.
There are people who feel makeup changes their outlook. Some feel it in a positive way, and some in a negative way. It is completely one’s own choice whether to like it or not. Maintaining a lovely and charming demeanour is crucial for standing out in social gatherings as well as on social media.
According to Scientific American, for long term relationships, 75% of males prefer a beautiful face, and for short-term relationships, the preference of males is fifty-fifty. The reason is that a beautiful face is a sign of fertility and health.
