What's Cool this Summer?


Filipinos have become more sophisticated about skin care especially summer is waiting for us like countless endorsements from many different beauty experts, but how does one know which is the best?

Bikinis, sundresses and beach time are all part of summer fun, but the warmth and humidity can create makeup challenges. To get just a cool look this summer, follow these makeup tips. 

Moisturize

Use a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher to help protect you from damaging UV rays. Moisturizers formulated with SPF help keep your skin soft and ward off wrinkles caused by the sun. Exposed skin needs a little TLC to look its best for skirts and sleeveless tops. Problem is, in the heat of summer, thick body lotion holds all the appeal of a wool sweater. And skin absorbs a gel faster than a cream, so it won't leave a greasy residue. Try Nivea Express Hydration Freshening Gel.


Coverage

Avoid wearing heavy foundation and try out a tinted moisturizer, such as Girlactik Skin Tint Moisturizer.  It’s lightweight, provides coverage and gives your face a natural-looking tan. If you need more coverage, for blemishes or face discoloration, use a concealer that matches your skin tone and brush over the area lightly with powder.

Prime

Apply primer after moisturizing to look fresh and pretty all day. Primer provides a smooth surface for your makeup to adhere to and keeps the makeup in place. It only takes seconds to smooth on your face, but the effects last all day.


Summer Glow

Use a waterproof bronzer that guards against moisture, Pop Beauty’s Tan in a Pan, the answer to your agony. Put on the bronzer sparingly, rather than covering your whole face, to maintain a natural look. Apply the bronzer to your forehead, cheekbones, chin and nose. Use a bronzer brush with long and loose bristles to apply the bronzer more evenly.



Lips

Apply a lip moisturizer with SPF to protect your pucker. Sport a natural look by using clear or light-colored lip gloss. Check out E.L.F. Plumping Lip Glaze, which comes in a variety of light summer colors to make your lips extra kissable! This summer, the trend regarding lips is to keep the natural color but make it shine, and maybe even sparkle. You can achieve this look by just using clear lip gloss. Just make sure that your lips aren’t cracked before you apply any kind of lip product; use a soft toothbrush to gently exfoliate the lips and always use lip balm.

Touch-Ups

Faces glisten with moisture as they sweat. Keep pre-moistened face wipes, such as pure derma facial cleansing cloths, with you at all times. The wipes are especially useful after the beach, for touch-ups and to keep your skin looking fresh. Reapply makeup as needed.

Trim those eyebrows

Whatever season it may be, having well-groomed eyebrows will always enhance your look, even without makeup. You should start by plucking out all of the unruly hairs and then give your eyebrows a great shape using eyebrow gel. This product is available in different colors and it’s also waterproof so you don’t need to worry about it coming off when you jump into the pool.


Ice Your Sunscreen
Turn the task of applying your SPF lotion into a heat-quelling experience: Keep sunscreen in your cooler instead of your beach tote. When it comes time to reapply, you'll get all the necessary sun protection plus a chilly treat for warm skin. Or, try Neutrogena Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sun block SPF 70, which keeps out harmful rays and cools on contact...no ice packs required. You've likely gotten into the habit of rubbing sunscreen on any exposed skin, expecting that what's clothed is already protected.
