Beat the heat! 11 top tips for summer makeup

1. Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise - Use an oil-free moisturiser in the morning, and opt for an oil-free foundation formula to match. These will be less likely to leave your face greasy throughout the day, especially in the heat.

2. Apply SPF - Wear SPF 30 or higher sunscreen every single day, even under your makeup. (Applying makeup over sunburned skin is not fun!)

3. Primed and ready - Primers are definitely the way to go in summer. They help hold makeup in place without feeling like a heavy additional layer.

4. Less is more - If you want to prevent your makeup from creasing and caking then less is more.

5. Skip the shimmer - humidity will make you extra shiny and sweaty-looking if you have too much sparkle on your skin.

6. Blush lightly - Blush adds balance and healthiness to any look, but if you’re still using the same powdery formula, your flush might be getting cakey faster.

7. Bronze appeal - Powder bronzers are the easiest to apply and least likely to slip around in summer heat.

8. Lip Care - lip balm for moisture to your lips.

9. Go bright - Besides looking summery, livelier colours brighten the face and bring a youthful glow to skin

10. The eyes - For the ultimate in all-day wearability, layer a powder eye shadow over a cream.

The final step in getting your makeup to last all day and night is to spritz on a makeup setting spray to seal in your look.
