• STEP 6: Keep in mind that many ingredients lend your beauty creams a pleasant
texture and long life. Parabens are common preservatives, cetyl and stearyl
alcohols are thickening agents, and isopropyl myristate and lanolate give many
potions their creamy consistency.

Tips & Warnings

• Consult the manufacturer for complete disclosure on a product's ingredients and
their intended actions.
• Ingredients are listed in order of concentration. Ignore any cream that includes its
miracle ingredients at the end of the list, as they'll be significantly less effective.
• All skins are different, and no product offers uniform results. Test products
whenever possible, as many modern products have ingredients that may irritate
certain skins.

How to Keep Your Summer Makeup

Fresh

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Article Badges:

Sweltering heat and humidity can wreak havoc with your summer makeup. Foundation
may seem to melt or liquefy, and no powder stands up to those little beads of sweat that
collect around your hairline. A modification of your regimen may be in order, and a few
tricks will get you through a midday makeup meltdown.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Skip the foundation, if possible, and opt for a tinted moisturizer. If
foundation is necessary, limit application to the center of the face, steering clear
of the hairline.
• STEP 2: Consider switching to an oil-free formula during the summer months or
dilute your everyday foundation with an oil-free moisturizer. This lighter
coverage will fare better when temperatures heat up.
• STEP 3: Dust any coverage with a little loose powder. Use blush sparingly,
letting your sun-kissed cheeks grab the attention.
• STEP 4: Blot any perspiration or oil buildup with non-powdered blotting papers.
Or substitute a clean tissue, pressing gently into moist areas.
