Beginner’s Guide: Winter-to-Summer Makeup Switch
Did you know that not just skincare but even winter-to-summer makeup differs a lot? Summer Makeup is quite different from winter makeup, mainly because now the weather is hotter and more humid, and of course, you sweat more. To accommodate all these weather changes with your makeup looks, you have to change a few makeup products in your mix - basically, switch makeup that was creamy or liquid, with powder-based makeup products. But, that doesn’t mean your makeup would be dry. Make sure that even if you’re now going to use more powder products and fewer cream ones, your makeup is still hydrating for the skin.
We have a few beauty tips for you that are more of makeup advice for your winter-to-summer makeup switch, and how to keep looking as gorgeous as you used to look during winter with your bold lipsticks and winter-flushed cheeks.
#1 Switch from Cream & Liquid Products to Powder Products
Summers aren’t the best time to use cream products. Switch to powder bronzer, blush, and highlighter, especially if you have oily or combination skin and/or live in coastal regions like Mumbai or Chennai.
Replace Bold Lip Shades with Neutral Lip Shades
Unless bold lip shades are now a part of your personality, which we totally get, or, of course, the occasion demands!
Make Your Makeup More Sweatproof
Use a good makeup fixer & mineral loose powder to have a well-set, sweat-proof makeup.
Invest in a Pore Minimizing, Blurring Primer
Summer heat can cause open pores resulting in clogging. A good but breathable formula of primer would help.
Use Waterproof & Smudge-Proof Eye Makeup – Especially Mascara, Eyeliner, & Kajal
You don’t want to leave home as a hot human and reach the party as a panda.
Use Lightweight Base Products
Lightweight base makeup products like foundation and a featherlight concealer or compact powder don't layer up & make your makeup look cakey.
Follow These Steps – Moisturizer > SPF > Primer
Let the rest of your makeup follow after the primer. Remember, in addition to applying SPF before your makeup, re-applying it every 3-4 hours (depending on your sunscreen) is also a must.
Invest in Makeup Products with SPF
In addition to applying & re-applying SPF, using SPF-rich makeup also helps in summer. For example, an SPF-infused foundation could make your skin extra-protected against tanning.
Use Smudge-Proof Yet Hydrating Lipsticks
Yes, lightweight, long-lasting but alcohol-free lipsticks, and not the alcohol-based formulas that dry up your lips in the name of lasting all day.
