As summer approaches, it’s time for summer trends to return, but that also means the summer heat is about to return with full force. If you want to keep up with summer trends during your sweltering beach days, here are a few makeup options to keep your look from melting in the heat.
First, always start with a good base. Putting on primer first not only evens your skin but also creates a barrier between you and your makeup, keeping the sweat at bay. e.l.f’s Power Grip Primer not only creates a strong base to keep out the sweat but also keeps the skin even and protects your face from the hot sun.
Next comes the waterproof mascara and liquid eyeliner. Thankfully, mascara doesn’t just work against tears; your makeup won’t run once you’re out in the heat. Liquid eyeliner also dries quickly and firmly stays in place. CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Waterproof Mascara works well if your eyes are sensitive to mascara and volumize your lashes. Maybelline’s Colossal is also a great option if you’re looking for makeup that lasts all day in and out of the heat. Looking for the right eyeliner? Add another touch of style with Liquid Eyeliner by Almay, which is also waterproof.

Matte lipstick also works great when you’re out in the sun, as the lips are the face’s most sensitive part. Using matte will protect your lips from drying out, and matte lipstick will keep you from having a cracked lipstick disaster on the beach. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream is a fantastic option for a lighter, beachy variety of lipstick during the summer, coming in various colors for any summer style.
Lastly comes the eyeshadow. There are several palettes, but the best kind of eyeshadow won’t smear, even as you swipe the sweat away on a sunny day. Some of these palettes also come in matte. The sunrise palette from Natasha Denona offers a wide array of sunshine-related colors, perfect for a day at the beach, with colors that can be both bold and muted. ZOEVA’s caramel palette also provides an array of muted colors that perfectly mimic the sand glistening in hot weather.
