“I had a great time taking the kids to the zoo recently, but at the end of the day, there was little left of my morning makeup. Do you have any tips on how to make makeup last in the summer heat?”
~ Nicole Brumble, South Jordan, Utah
Use a moisturizer, apply it at least 10 minutes before the cosmetics. Moisturizer is the best way to keep your skin looking healthy anyway, by allowing it to be absorbed by the skin before applying cosmetics, you will prevent makeup meltdown, (from the Association of Image Consultants International).
Do not use an oil-base foundation. It will naturally melt and slide in the heat. Instead, opt for a powder foundation, readily available in most cosmetic brands including Meryl Norman and Cover Girl at affordable prices.
