Make-up artist Eevis Liedes reveals her best tips for make-up that lasts even in the heat.
A few thin layers work better than thick layers, begins makeup artist Eevis Liedes. This rule applies to both skin care and make-up in this summer heat.
In winter, we rely on rich and rich compositions, but in summer, lightness is everything. A durable heat make-up base already starts with skin care.
– When it comes to skin care, you should leave out the richest compositions under make-up. It’s still good to ensure good hydration, because that way the make-up lasts the best.
– Lotion, serum and light moisturizer are good skin care products under make-up in hot weather.
You don’t have to abandon facial oils even in the summer, but you should pay special attention to the dosage. Only a few drops are enough for the skin.
– If the air is hot and the skin is sweating, it can take longer for the oil to be absorbed and the make-up will easily roll on top of it, and it won’t stay as well, Liedes sums up.
Liedes also emphasizes the importance of sun protection.
Choose a thin foundation
You should choose a thin foundation for the base of your summer makeup. Liedes says that the permanence of the foundation is largely determined by what is applied under it and how and how thickly it is applied to the face.
– A thinner layer stays better. Coverage can be increased locally with concealer.
Liquid compositions stay hot better than rich, creamy ones.
– With liquid and cream-like compositions, you should layer powder products to maximize durability.
– I often do this by applying, for example, bronzer and blush in liquid or cream-like form to the skin first and fix the product with a similar powder product, Liedes describes.
Liedes advises on the benefits of colorless fixing powder. It adheres well to all other formulations on the skin. The powder must also be light in composition.
– You should be moderate when applying powder, because a thick layer of powder feels horrible on the skin when it’s hot.

Dry the skin before correcting the make-up
In summer, the skin sweats. Usually, makeup or powder accumulates in lines and pores during the day.
Liedes points out that it is important to dry the skin before further application of powder, if you end up correcting your makeup.
– Use paper to press all the areas where you want to apply the powder to remove sweat and moisture from under the powder. On moist skin, the powder does not spread evenly and can clump.
– Even your brush or powder can easily become lumpy from the mixture of sweat, make-up and powder, Liedes states.
Choose peach shades for blush
In hot weather, the skin can turn red naturally. Liedes advises to choose peachy and soft shades for blush, which do not emphasize redness too much.
– Liquid blush stays best in hot weather. The liquid composition can be fixed either with a colorless powder or with a powder blush of the same shade.
Creamy and waxy formulas for eyebrows
Creamy and waxy compositions stay on the eyebrows better than powder compositions or markers, says Liedes.
The make-up artist reminds that the eyebrows should also be dabbed with paper during the day, as this area often sweats a lot.

In the summer heat, you should prefer mascaras that come off with warm water
Waterproof mascara often reacts to oil and grease.
– If you notice that your waterproof mascara spreads during a hot day, you should change it to a regular formula or a mascara that comes off with warm water.
Liedes advises that the combination of cream-like and powder-like compositions with eye make-up is the key to long-lasting eye make-up.
