Beauty and the heat!

Here's a short and sweet article on how to help your makeup hold on under intense heat, like that of the Arizona desert.
We have just had a heat snap, similiar to a cold snap, where out of nowhere, we went from the normal high 90's to 109! Ouch!

Okay, what to do with your makeup:
Use gradual self tanner made for the face, like Neutrogena or L'Oreal. This way you need less foundation. Meaning, less applied equals less to melt off.

Use a stain, like Tarte, Lorac, Vincent Longo or Sephora's brand to stain your cheeks and lips for an all day hue that won't move when you sweat and wipe at it.

If you prefer to use a creme blush stick, that will hold up better also because if it does start to move on you, the creme consistency can easily be smudged back into place.

Try a water resistant mascara to hold on to lashes during intense sweating or humidity. I'm not a big fan of water proof because I feel it is too hard on the delicate eyelash and eyelash follicle. Though, a water resistant is meant to hang on under tougher conditions, but not necessarily during swimming.

Use a gloss on your lips. If you become dehydrated, your skin will shrivel and wrinkle a bit, and a slippery shiny gloss will stay moist looking versus a lipstick. Now, is not the time to wear a matte lipstick unless you know you will be in the air conditioning all day.

Simple eye shadows, perhaps one solid shade on the lid, or a wee bit of highlighter on the brow bone. Keep your summer makeup simple so there is less to worry about as the temperatures rise.

Remember to stay hydrated with plenty of water, add some electrolytes, keep your skin moisturized with botancial lotions that add moisture instead of petrochemcial products that leech it out.

Happy summer everyone!
