Things You'll Need:
- Blush

- Eye Shadow
- Face Powder
- Facial Tissues
- Lip Balm
- Lip Liners
- Lipstick
- Mascara
- Oil-free Foundations
- Cotton Swabs
- Lipstick

Step 1
Skip the foundation, if possible, and opt for a tinted moisturizer. If foundation is necessary, limit application to the center of the face, steering clear of the hairline.
-
Step 2
Consider switching to an oil-free formula during the summer months or dilute your everyday foundation with an oil-free moisturizer. This lighter coverage will fare better when temperatures heat up.
-
Step 3
Dust any coverage with a little loose powder. Use blush sparingly, letting your sun-kissed cheeks grab the attention.
-
Step 4
Blot any perspiration or oil buildup with non-powdered blotting papers. Or substitute a clean tissue, pressing gently into moist areas.
-
Step 5
Remove under-eye foundation or powder buildup with a clean cotton swab. Resist the temptation to reapply unless you feel it absolutely necessary.
-
Step 6
Reapply loose powder only. Pressed powder has the tendency to cake and clump when hit with moisture.
