During summer, the skin can become extremely sweaty and oily, making it essential for you to not only revamp your skincare routine but also give your makeup a summery rejig. And no, it is no cumbersome process, all you need to do is select the right products (in accordance with your skin type) and identify the right application techniques — and voila! you will have the perfect summer makeup.

Talking about the same, Snigdha Dua, Associate Professor, Makeup – PearlxStudio said, “As summer approaches, many people start to switch up their makeup routines. With warmer weather and more time spent outdoors, it’s important to choose makeup products that not only look good but also protect and nourish your skin.”

Here are some tips on how to choose the right makeup for summer, according to the expert:

Opt for lightweight formulas: A heavy foundation and thick concealer can feel uncomfortable and clog pores in the hot and humid weather. Instead, choose lightweight formulas such as tinted moisturisers or BB creams that provide sheer coverage and hydrate your skin as well.

Choose a sunscreen-infused formula: Sunscreen is a must in summer, but it can be tough to layer on top of your makeup. To simplify your routine, choose makeup products that contain SPF. Look for products with at least SPF 30 and broad-spectrum protection.

Consider the finish: In summer, a matte finish can look too flat and dry, while a dewy finish can look too shiny and oily. Choose a natural-looking finish that does not emphasise any oiliness on the skin. Try a luminous finish for a youthful glow.

Stick to waterproof formula products: To ensure your makeup stays put, choose waterproof formulas for your eyeliner, mascara and even your lipstick.

Pick warm and bright colours: Summer is the perfect time to experiment with warm and bright colours. Opt for coral, pink, orange and peach shades for your blush, bronzer and lip products. These colours will look beautiful on sun-kissed skin.

Consider your skin type: Your skin type plays a significant role in the type of makeup you should choose. If you have oily skin, avoid heavy creams and stick to lightweight, oil-free products. If you have dry skin, look for hydrating formulas that contain nourishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin.

Test before you buy: Before purchasing a new makeup product, always test it on your skin. This will help you determine if the formula is the right match for your skin type and help you see if the colour is flattering on your skin tone.

Lock in the makeup: Spray on a makeup fixer which has oil control or is mattifying to take of the extra shine and for longevity of the makeup, especially for oily and combination skin types. It can be used right after skincare prep to lock in those oil glands for longer duration.
