Summer beauty products: Keep your Make-Up in place
Summer beauty products
Tanned, radiant skin – can easily turn into a dewy mess, with uncontrollable oil and makeup that melts off within hours. This summer, keep your cosmetics lasting 24/7, with these beauty saviours.
Primer
Not only do primers act an oil-control barrier, they can colour-correct, give light-weight coverage and help smooth pores. Use a pea-size amount and apply after moisturizing.
This new Smashbox: ‘photo finish foundation primer radiance’ is a perfect summer go-to. The hyaluronic acid and shea butter will leave your skin hydrated, whilst micro-fine amber and bronze pearls, create a natural, warm highlight. Smashbox are known in the beauty industry for their primers – this one is no exception. After using, your makeup will stay in place and your skin will be radiant.
Eye Base Primer
In addition to a face primer, an eye base primer is the difference between your eyeshadow melting into your eye crease, or staying perfectly in place. Instead of buying a clear product, look for an eye base that has a hint of colour. Urban Decay’s ‘eye primer potion’ is guaranteed to do the job. It comes with the added help, of making your eyeshadow appear more vibrant. You can purchase the original which is a clear shade, or go for one of their other six, colour options.

Tinted Moisturizer
No one wants to be out in the heat, with the feeling of a rich formula on their face. Tinted moisturizers, offer you the benefits of a moisturizer, with the coverage of a light foundation.
