of skin pores that often result in acnes and pimples. Here are some tips to keep your skin healthy, make your makeup last longer and keep you looking fresh:


Let your skin breathe and use sheer makeup that serve more than one purposes. It is important to keep the humidity locked in as sweating dries skin out. So, lock away

your foundation for the season and use a light moisturizer with sun block instead.

Instead of using foundation to cover up freckles, use translucent tinted powder to blot the skin and add color to it.

Go for the nude natural look for the lips. Even for evening parties, it is preferable to use loose shimmer powder on arms and neck and a soft gloss on lips.

Sensual and bronze skin and natural look is the look for summers, so work on it.

Eyes should be done simply. Use neutral and soft shimmery eye shadow on lids and work on lashes instead.

Curl your lashes and use glossy black shade on them to make them appear longer and your eyes bigger. Use only a very fine line with eyeliner.

Cheek sticks and crème eye colors are easy to apply and last longer in summer.

If you must apply foundation, mix it with loose powder to keep you looking fresh throughout the day.



Foundation: The most important thing when it comes to foundation is staying power: you don't want your base to melt down your face on the most important day of your life.

Carmindy recommends trying a spray foundation for its “light airy feel, which will stay on all day.Pick a foundation that is oil-free, says Carmindy, “as this will help with

shine and not clog your pores. Don't forget to set your foundation with loose powder!

Eyes: “Waterproof mascara is a must on your big day. Even if you vowed you won't cry, take the precaution, says Carmindy. When it comes to creating your eye look, stay

away from cream based eye shadows that will oil up in the heat of summer. “Choose powder shadows, and don’t forget to apply two layers for a lasting effect, warns

Carmindy.

Blush: Blush is an essential element of your wedding day look, so don't think about skipping it because you are worried that it could cake up in the heat, or streak down your

face. Carmindy recommends a mousse or powder blush for its long-lasting power. “A nice summery look is bronzer, so place blush on key parts of your face like the temples

and cheekbones. This will create nice lighting to your face, advises Carmindy.

Lips: a Don't think about just throwing on a little gloss for your big day. It will fade and look terrible in pictures, says Carmindy. For a long-lasting pout, first use a light lip

pencil to shape your lips and fill in. Second, add a moisturizing lipstick on top. For the finale and an extra pop, add lip gloss to the middle of your lips!
