Has there ever been an instance where your makeup seems flawless until you go outside? Summer heat and humidity are no joke! After 14 years in Houston, I’ve learned a few sweat-proof makeup tricks, and the hottest summer days are just getting started here in Texas. Haute And Humid, after all, is the name of my blog!
In order to share my best-kept secrets for maintaining that fresh-faced look, I partnered with Nordstrom. Because I can accrue points using my card, I adore shopping at Nordstrom. To make it less painful on my wallet, I utilize the points I’ve accrued to spend during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
Sweat Proof Makeup Tips
PRIMERS
Primer acts like the mortar between your face and the foundation. I love HOURGLASS MINERAL VEIL PRIMER. It dries nicely on the skin and doesn’t stay too tacky. Eyelid primer is another must have for keeping your eye shadow on the eyes! Don’t you hate when it has magically evaporated an hour later or all the sparkle has migrated to your cheeks. I’ve been using the NARS EYELID PRIMER and love the formulation. My eye shadows are brighter, they don’t crease and stay put all.day.long!
FOUNDATION
Choose a matte foundation that is oil-free. Apply a thin, light coat with a moist beauty blender. Instead of being spread on top with a foundation brush, the substance is pressed into the skin in this manner. A collection of excellent matte longwear foundations that are ideal for extended hot days can be found below.
POWDER
Here is the real key to setting your makeup and making it last from sun up to sun down. Use a translucent powder like LAURA MERCIER TRANSLUCENT SETTING POWDER. Take your damp beauty blender and lightly dip it into the powder. Press the powder into your skin focusing on the t-zone and jawline.
BRONZER
Use bronzer to sculpt and restore color to your face. Because the new Charlotte Tillbury Bronzing Powder is so beautiful, it is fortunately back in stock. The compact is enormous—it’s about as big as my hand. Since I usually wear self-tanner on my face, I use the color Tan during the summer.
SETTING SPRAY
Long-wearing makeup is a hallmark of URBAN DECAY, and their setting spray is no exception. Lightly spray your face and neck before putting on your mascara. If you plan to spend a lot of time outside, mist your face in between applying your foundation, blush, bronzer, eyes, and other cosmetics.
