Summer Makeup Tips from Christopher Drummond


Summer makeup should not be heavy and is mostly aimed at protecting the skin from exposure to sun rays, avoid excessive sweating, cut out the oily shine and prevent clogging 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:

1. Let your skin breathe and use sheer makeup that serves more than one purpose. 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. Remember, you need to hydrate your skin both internally and externally.

2. Instead of using foundation to cover up freckles, use translucent tinted powder to blot the skin and add color to it. Saúde Pele is perfect for this.



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



4. Sensual and bronze skin and is the look for summer. Stay out of the sun, but give yourself a bronze glow with a good bronzer. Eyes should be done simply. Use neutral and soft shimmery eye shadow on lids and work on lashes instead. The bronzer can also be used as an eye shadow.


5. 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. Remember, less is more in the summertime.

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