Matte foundation

One of the most well-loved things about summer is the fact that it’s hot. However, people who wear a lot of makeup during summer can agree that the heat can have quite a few undesirable effects on your makeup, especially when it comes to your base. 

Between the scorching sun and the sweating that unfortunately comes paired with warmer months, you may notice your foundation melting clean off your face! A great way to combat this is to apply a matte foundation. These tend to be long-lasting and won’t budge as easily as other foundation types, even under duress. Try HALEY’s vegan matte foundation this summer to see what a difference a change in formula can make.

Sunscreen

No matter how good a makeup artist you are, there are some things that even makeup can’t cover: like a horrible sunburn that leaves you red and with peeling skin. Aside from hindering your makeup attempts, excessive exposure to sunlight without proper protection can have negative long-term effects on your skin. So, apply a layer of sunscreen to your face and any other exposed body parts whenever you go out – even if it’s just for a minute, or if it seems cloudy.

Bronzer

A classic staple of any summertime makeup look is gorgeous, sun-kissed skin. However, tanning can be dangerous, and some people tend to burn instead of getting a natural-looking glow. Luckily, there’s a quick and easy fix: bronzer! 

Many people use bronzer throughout the year, but in the summertime, it can completely transform your look. You can use a little bit more bronzer than usual, as long as you don’t go overboard. You can also use a bronzer that shimmers more than your everyday bronzer. If you’re new to bronzing, you can click here for some tips.

Lip gloss

If you’re wondering how to transform any summertime look, we have the answer: lip gloss. Lip gloss is a great way of taking your look to the next level, or you can just wear it on its own to make a statement. We don’t know about you, but something about glossy lips just screams summer to us. 

We recommend getting a lip gloss that isn’t too sticky, since loose hair, sticky lip glass, and summer winds do not make a good combination. You can also choose between clear or tinted lip gloss, and even get one with glitter! If you do decide to opt for a colored one, take this quiz to see which colors will suit your skin tone best.
