Protection as the main step

It’s not just during the summer, but especially at this time of year for sure don’t forget products with SPF. It doesn’t matter whether the sun is hiding or we can enjoy it in full sips all day long. Not only do we protect our skin from burning, but we can also avoid premature aging and other skin problems. Reach for gentle emulsions or gels.

The right background

A make-up base can do wonders, even if you decide to skip make-up in the summer. The result will be velvety smooth skin and your make-up will stay in place for hours, still looking natural and flawless.

A light, balmy primer that minimizes enlarged pores, redness and wrinkles. You can use it alone to hide imperfections, or as an invisible foundation for flawless make-up (perriconemd.cz, CZK 1499).

With or without makeup

If you have mixed and oily skin, choosing the right make-up should be key especially on hot summer days. Obfuscating makeup is almost a must during this season. That’s the only way you can be sure that your skin won’t get shiny in no time. On the other hand, you should put off brightening make-up, which is more suitable for colder seasons. In the summer, they would add an extra dose of shine.

In the summer, lighter versions of toning creams or BB or CC creams are also an ideal choice. Your skin will be unified and look natural without being weighed down.

Summer eye makeup

If after work you are going to enjoy a well-deserved relaxation somewhere by the water on summer days, rather reach for waterproof products. Even a few temps in the pool won’t do anything with your liner or mascara. Just like under makeup, like that apply base under eye shadow. The eye base fixes the shadows and keeps them in place. In addition to staying power, it also enhances the color of the eyeshadows. Choose softer colors that will accentuate tanned skin. On vacation, we would not be afraid of pastel colors or bold lines.

Powder as a must

It blurs, fixes and unifies the skin. However, don’t overdo it. Just lightly dust the skin with powder. You can repeat the powdering during the day, but in this case it is doubly true that less is more. Follow this also in the case of the highlighter. Healthy skin with a hint of glow is beautiful, but in the summer, too much highlighter could only hurt you. When applying it, avoid especially the center of the face, which you want to keep rather matte. A small amount on the cheekbones, above the eyebrows and a very small amount on the nose will be just right.

Fixing spray

Fixing and refreshing at any time of the day. You can put the make-up fixing spray in your purse and benefit from its benefits all day long. It keeps the make-up in place, provides gentle refreshment, reduces the shine of the skin and also prolongs the flawless look of your make-up. Remember our article about the best fixing sprays.

Matting papers

Another gadget that won’t take up much space in your purse, but you can make a lot of fun with it. Instead of another layer of powder, try reaching for matte papers. If you feel that your skin is starting to get unpleasantly shiny, put the paper on your face. He quickly and efficiently absorbs excess sebum.
