Can your makeup routine survive a heatwave? This one can!

When the temperature climbs, makeup starts to feel like more of a gamble. That dewy skin look turns into actual sweat, foundation slips, mascara smudges, and you end up questioning why you bothered in the first place.

But the answer isn’t ditching it altogether. It’s getting smarter about what you use, and how much of it. Here’s how to build a routine that can take the heat.

1. Start with a mist. Use a hydrating mist that preps and sets. It locks in your makeup and keeps skin fresh.

2. Use a lightweight foundation. Skip full coverage. Blend a small amount only where needed for an even, breathable finish.

3. Add a soft glow. Dab a liquid highlighter on your cheekbones for a natural, sweat-free radiance.

4. Keep eyes minimal. Apply waterproof mascara to the corners and a thin flick of liner on the outer lash line.

5. Go for long-wear lips. Line your lips and finish with a semi-matte lipstick in a natural shade that lasts through the day.
