Though it seemed to have taken its sweet time getting here, it's no secret that summer weather is finally upon us. With it comes a lot of sweat, humidity and makeup smudging. As a girl who already struggles with extremely oily skin, trust me, my sympathy is with all of my overheated readers. However, just because it feels like you're melting, doesn't mean you have to look it too. Here are a few products to keep you looking flawless (or as least flawed as possible) throughout the day.



Brows | When trying to keep your brows from sliding down the sides of your face, it's important to look for a product that is wax-based or claims to be waterproof. Otherwise, you'll be wiping more than sweat from your brow.

• High-end: Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade
• Low-end: NYX Tame & Frame Brow Pomade

Eyes | Whether you regularly suffer from eyeshadow creasing or not, we can all fall victim during the warmer months. Luckily, a few brands have stepped up to the plate (or palette) and created the best bases to layer on your best summer looks.

• High-end: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion or MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot
• Low-end: e.l.f. Studio Eyeshadow Primer or Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo Leather

Skin | At the end of the day, we don't want all of the hard work we put into our no-makeup-full-face-of-makeup look to run off in an embarrassing and revealing scene. Whether you choose to prep your skin before, prime it after or do a combination of both, it's best that you add one more step to your routine if you want to keep up this illusion of perfection.

• High-end: Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer or Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray
• Low-end: Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Primer Skin Transformer or NYX Makeup Setting Spray

I debated including a few must-have cheek and lip products, but decided against it. If you're using a primer or setting spray your cheek color should stay in place, and for lips all you need is a long wear shade that you're in love with and you should have no issues. However, if you would like to know a few of my favorites drop a comment below and I'll be happy to share those with you!

Hope this helps on those outdoor dates, bar crawls and beach trips this summer!
