LOS ANGELES: Hot and sweaty season is often frowned upon and is called as the make-up meltdown time of year. But it doesn’t have to be. Get your hands on the right tools.
Here are a few tips from Hollywood’s make-up artists:
Use eye pencil:
Actor Amy Adams’ make-up artist Stephen Sollitto suggests skipping eyeshadow altogether in the summer time. So shun creams, pots and powders. Instead use waterproof pencils and shade in your whole lid.
Find a multi-purpose product:
Instead of layering onto your complexion, find a power foundation that has built-in SPF and is waterproof, says Sollitto. Actor Jennifer Garner’s make-up artist Fiona Stiles says, “Skip moisturiser and just use sunscreen,” if you must add hydration to your complexion
Primer for eyes:
Stiles thinks using a face primer is “an unnecessary step”. However, if you do want to use eye-shadow, she suggests first swiping on eye primer to prevent creases on the lids.
Go for bronzer:
Actor Jaimie Alexander’s make-up pro Jeffrey Paul says apply self-tanner in areas you want to contour, like under the cheekbones. It soaks into the skin and won’t melt or rub off.
