Sunscreen:

We all know sunscreens importance on hot days, so adding it to your summer makeup routine is a must. The higher SPF, the better is the best way not to get burned. 

But, we also don’t have or like the time it takes for some to dry, and let’s face it, some don’t – they leave you feeling sticky or heavily “creamed.”

We’ve all been there. No one likes to be out on a beautiful summer day looking great, and the “melt” begins… You just know your full face of makeup is looking less than the flawless way it looked when you spent all that time getting it right!  lol

Urban Decay Chill Makeup Setting Spray can help with that. The rest of your makeup will stay in place, giving you a full proof makeup look.

What it is:

Moisturizer:

Face moisturizers are a must, I have been using this moisturizer under my makeup for years now, and I love it.  It soaks in completely and quickly, so I can put it on and immediately begin putting on my makeup. 

Eucerin Daily Protection Face Lotion SPF 30 is my go-to for a great under makeup and/or everyday moisturizer with SPF:

Eucerin Daily Protection SPF 30 is a dermatologist recommended and clinically proven for sensitive skin’s safe and effective care.

Lip Balm:

Your lips can get dry and cracked in the summer, too.  Make sure your Summer Beauty Bag has an excellent protective lip product with SPF Panama Jack SPF 45 Lip Balm is the way to go here, especially if you’re going for a natural look.

With the strength of acai superberry, this lip balm with SPF 30+ hydrates, repairs, protects and soothes.

Beachy waves are the perfect summer heat and warmer months look.  With OGX Moroccan Sea Salt Spray, you’ll always be in style In no time:

This weightless leave-in surf mist with texturizing sea salt adds fullness while moisturizing sea kelp and Moroccan argon oil add shine for perfectly undone, breezy, beach-bombshell waves.

Say Goodbye To Dry And Limp Hair:

The heat of the sun and humid weather plus the salt and chlorine from the beach or the pool can make your hair limp, lifeless, and dry.

You can visit your favorite salon, but it will cost you extra money and time, especially if you want to visit the beach or the pool again.

A simple trick is to use a texturing or volumizing spray like Boldify Hair Thickening Spray.

This spray can amp up your hair, making it appear thicker and fuller. It gives extra volume and body to your hair while leaving it flexible and natural-looking throughout the day. Your hair will no longer fall flat or lose its shape all day.

Eyeliner is all the rage this year, and the last thing you want is to have your black eyeliner running down your face by splashing waves or sweat!  Maybelline New York Ultra Liner Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner fits the bill:

Water-resistant products liquid liner that delivers all-day wear eye look. No skipping, no smearing. Plus it has a precision brush for the perfect application for your eye makeup.
