We all know that the sun has a tendency of leaving people happier. There are longer days, the temperature rises, and everybody starts making plans to have a sea vacation. However, it brings the worst nightmare for makeup lovers: sweating.

Sweating is uncomfortable and makes you think of disaster when mixed with makeup. But it is a lot easier than you think to overcome the stained mascara or lipstick drama if you use the right makeup. That's why we're bringing you today a few essential tips so there's no need to check the mirror every five minutes on hot days.

First, it's important to remember that even in the summer it is indispensable to moisturize your skin. You should wear a tonic and a moisturizer (light and oil-free) before applying your makeup. It takes about five minutes that are extremely necessary if we want a healthy skin.

After your skin is moisturized, the ideal is to substitute the foundation for a primer or a bb cream. The effect is practically the same and they are lighter than the usual foundation and increase the lasting effect of your makeup.

There are also fixing sprays that, as their name indicates, fix the makeup so we're allowed to do the most diverse activities without staining the makeup.

On the eyes, the ideal is to apply a primer before the powder eyeshadow, or to choose a creamy eyeshadow that dries fast. And, of course, the best is to leave behind the gaudy colors and choose lighter tones.

When we choose to wear eyeliner or mascara, these should be waterproof and have a long-lasting effect – otherwise it's guaranteed disaster!

On the lips, the ideal is to replace the creamy lipstick for one pen or pencil-shaped, or even a waterproof lip-gloss, that fixes and doesn't melt with the heat.
