Hair

• Always do your hair before your makeup. The heat of the blow dryer may melt your makeup and wipe out all your hard work. 

• The summer months make you sweat profusely. So choose a clever hairdo. Comb your hair off your face and tie it into an elegant chignon or a high bun.

Makeup

• Primers help the makeup to stay on longer by creating a protective layer between the makeup and the skin. 

• Sweat proof concealers, designed specially for the warm months, stops your makeup from melting away. Besides they also provide cover from pimples, dark spots and dark circles.

Eyes

• Apply concealer on the entire upper eyelid and thereafter dust on some loose powder. This will help your eyeshadow adhere better to your skin and make it long lasting.

• Stay away from cream based eyeshadows in the summer. Opt for powder based colors to reduce oiliness.

• Gel liners or liquid liners work best during the heat and humidity of summer. They are bright, easy to apply and last for a long time.

• You may not be the crying type but do opt for waterproof mascara.

Blush

• Your blush will be the first thing to wear off with the heat. Make use of a creamy blush first and dust some powder blush on top of it. 

• For the blush to stay longer, apply cheek stain followed by powder blush.

Lips
