You\u2019re out partying or dancing with friends, having a truly fabulous time despite the summer heat. Then, you go to the bathroom and catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror\u2014only to find th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e <a href=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/how-to-create-a-soft-glam-makeup-look\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">soft glam makeup<\/a> you worked so hard on has started to melt off your face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the best course of action at that point is to laugh it off and grab some tissues to blot with, what if there was another way?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take action against summer makeup melt with a sweat proof makeup routine. By strategically applying water-resistant makeup and using some sneaky cosmetic tricks, you may find your glam look perfectly intact by the end of the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure your summer makeup is here for <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a good time <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#1 Prep with Primer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most critical steps to take when apply<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ing base makeup for sweaty faces comes before you even add a drop of foundation to your face.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A primer acts as a building block that provides a smooth surface and helps your base makeup stick. It also provides a barrier between your pores and your foundation (and every product that comes after).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only does primer help you achieve the appearance of smooth, glowing skin\u2014it can also combat sweat-induced smudging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wide range of primers exists, but if your number one goal is sweat-blocking, consider seeking out primers that are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Water-resistant<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Water-resistant primer keeps the sweat from compromising the integrity of the product. Your primer should stay in place and remain a trustworthy base for the rest of your makeup.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Matte<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A matte primer minimizes the dewy look that can often come from more hydrating primers. While hydration can exist in other parts of your skincare routine, it\u2019s best not to use dewy products right off the bat when trying to combat the heat.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rich in vitamin C<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primers infused with vitamin C can give your skin a healthy glow without adding unnecessary dewiness.<sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add some freshness to your face to set the tone for the rest of your makeup look.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a face primed to perfection, you can begin adding layers of makeup without fear of it smearing off before you even put on your heels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#2 Apply Foundation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primer lays the groundwork, but foundation sets the stage for your full makeup look. It rounds out your skin tone, blurs imperfections, and make your appearance feel more cohesive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Different types of foundations exist for various purposes. While you may already have a go-to foundation, try taking a second glance at your foundation habits and see what you can do to fight the sabotage of sweat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implement some of these foundation tricks for long-lasting wear:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Use a small amount<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Resist the temptation to cover your face in thick layers of foundation. Overuse can cause foundation to look thick, cakey, and dried out. Place heavier foundation only in areas that need a blurred effect, blemish coverup, or pigmentation correction. Use a blending sponge to apply a thin layer across the rest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Go for light wear<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of going for a thicker, full-coverage foundation, try opting for a light-wear foundation instead. Thanks to its sheer finish, a light-wear foundation will act as a subtle veil on top of your skin. Full-coverage makeup is heavier, and thus more susceptible to melting off when introduced to water or sweat. Some light wear moisturizers include sweat-proof, long-lasting formulas to help your skin look divine all night long.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Try tinted moisturizers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 You can also forego foundation altogether and try a tinted moisturizer instead. Moisturizer can easily absorb into your face rather than sit on top of it the way foundation does. With the addition of a colored tint, you can achieve a similar blurred effect that foundation provides.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearing a lighter foundation can help immensely with the appearance of a sweaty face. Minimize smudging or melting by using a foundation designed to grant the illusion that you\u2019re barely wearing any makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#3 Waterproof Your Eye Makeup<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know it, we love it, we can\u2019t resist it\u2014yet, eye makeup is often the main culprit of sweat-induced smudging. Maybe your winged eyeliner has lost its sharp edge, or your smokey eye has started to morph into more of a black eye. What started as the centerpiece of your look now appears to be more of a meltdown.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Never fear\u2014plenty of water-re<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sistant and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/best-products-for-sunny-weather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sunny weather products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> exist that can help reduce the eye makeup smudge factor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resist smudging, smearing, and flaking with the use of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Waterproof mascara<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Break free from flakey mascara that spreads everywhere. A waterproof or water-resistant mascara like Full Frontal Volume, Lift &amp; Curl Mascara can help keep your lashes from leaking makeup by resisting water permeation. For extra smudge prevention, lightly brush a tissue or makeup wipe over the tips of your lashes after applying to rid your lashes of any excess mascara.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Waterproof eyeliner<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a water-resistant liner can decrease the probability of smearing, ensuring that your look stays sharp and spotless throughout the day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eyeshadow primer <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Primer isn\u2019t just for your foundation. Dab the lid of your eye with primer and let it dry before applying eyeshadow. Primer will keep the shadow in place and decrease the chance of creasing\u2014a perfect preventative measure for those bold, colorful looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eyebrow gel <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Keep your eyebrows in place with a sturdy eyebrow gel. Try the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Billion Dollar Brows Condition, Color &amp; Control Bundle to give your brows a boost.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though waterproof makeup helps keep your makeup in place, its staying power means it can be tricky to remove from your face. Since waterproof makeup repels water-based products, oil cleansers tend to remove makeup the best.<sup>2<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With waterproof eye makeup up your sleeve, you can wave smudgy eyes goodbye.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#4 Set with Powder<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve sweat-proofed your makeup look and are ready for the finishing touches, you can break out the setting powder. A setting powder acts as a seal to keep your makeup in place and resist the accumulation of moisture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsure of where to place your setting powder to minimize sweatiness? Hit these target areas:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Under eyes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only does powder under the eyes repel moisture and keep eye makeup from receding, but it can also reduce creasing. Work the powder under your eye by bouncing it with a damp sponge or blender. Using a light powder underneath the eyes can also help you achieve a stunning eye-brightening look.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Eyeliner<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your winged eyeliner took you three tries to get right, you don\u2019t want to take any chances. Using a small brush, place some setting powder directly on your eyeliner. Lock your liner in place whether it lands above your lid or on your bottom lash line.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Contour<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Keep your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Illamasqua Gel Sculpt Contour <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from smudging by pressing setting powder beneath your cheekbones.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>T-zone <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 The most effective way to fight sweat is to place setting powder in naturally oily areas. For most, that area is the T-zone. The T-zone includes the middle of your forehead, right above the brow bone, and the bridge of the nose right beneath it.<sup>3<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Think of it as a massive T on your forehead. Buff your T-zone with setting powder for a refined, matte look that can have you feeling fresh all night long.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lips <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find your lipstick tends to smudge, lining your lips with setting powder can help keep your painted lips in place\u2014even with a gorgeous satin like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Satin Lipstick in Butterscotch. Or, you can apply a gorgeous matte lipstick that stays in place on its own, like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick. Dust powder along your cupid&#8217;s bow and keep smiling. Setting powder can also be highly effective for a sweaty upper lip.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>#5 Spray Away<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your sweat-resistant look is almost complete. Finish it off by locking everything in place with setting spray. While it may be tempting to let your powder complete your makeup, a setting spray can help to keep your overall look from slipping, even if the temperature rises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The benefits of setting spray include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping makeup firmly in place<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Locking in moisture<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Giving a refreshing glow<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The addition of setting spray acts as a lovely way to give your skin the necessary hydration without risking makeup smudging or melting. A misty sheen on top of your face helps it look fresh and healthy without weighing any of your makeup down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Setting sprays often contain hydrating ingredients to promote fresh-looking skin. Some of these ingredients may include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rose water<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 For a soothing and refreshing finish and a gloriously sweet scent.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>SPF <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Some setting spray includes SPF, which can help protect your skin from UV damage.<sup>4<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> SPF can also help your skin look youthful longer by preventing wrinkles and other blemishes.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Green tea <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Add a nourishing boost of hydration with the addition of green tea in your setting spray.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Aloe Vera <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 An excellent choice for those with irritable skin, aloe vera can add a soothing finish so you can feel your best.<sup>5<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a few spritzes of refreshing setting spray, you&#8217;re ready to go.
