Sweatproof Makeup Products for Summer!

As it has been getting alot hotter in Britain recently, I have found myself reaching towards specific products which I find very long lasting and sweatproof in summer. I recently wore this makeup to go to a park on sunday, where it was about 21 degrees and we hiked up a hill and my makeup was still the same at the end as it was at the start so I think this makeup has been through the ultimate test.

On my face I wore the Garnier BB cream for oily skin, I originally bought the oily skin one because it was a lightest shade than the other one but I find this amazing on sunny days and my face wasn't shiny at all. This also feels really light on the skin and provides some spf so you don't need to wear suncream aswell as this.

I then wore the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer over any blemishes I had, and as you all probably know this concealer is one of the best at staying on all day and providing amazing coverage (full review here: http://beautyblog97.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/collection-2000-lasting-perfection.html )

 

I then used the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder (another hyped up product on youtube). This powder is amazing and kept my face looking shine free the whole day without looking cakey (full review here: http://beautyblog97.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/rimmel-stay-matte-powder.html )

If your going to be sweating, I would definately reccomend a waterproof mascara as you can be sure that it won't smudge throughout the day. My favourite is the L'oreal Telescopic mascara as I find this gives my lashes lots of volume and length (full review here: http://beautyblog97.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/loreal-telescopic-mascara.html )

If you want a little bit more definition on your eyes, I would reccomend using a black powder eyeshadow instead of an eyeliner. This stays on alot longer and gives a softer look to your eyes, you also don't have to worry about it creasing as it stays for soo long. I use the black out of the Sleek Storm palette but any black will do.

As an optional extra, I think that primers are a good idea on hot sunny days as they help your makeup to stay on alot longer. My favourite is the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm as I find this makes my skin look really glowy and helps my makeup to go on alot nicer. However, you should choose a primer according to your individual skin type.

I hope these tips help you with summer makeup and what products to choose on hot days.

Love,
