With our make-up tricks for hot days, nothing can go wrong.

Smudged paint, shiny forehead, everything flows and sticks? That doesn't have to be the case. But we don't want to give up our morning beauty routine in the bathroom completely. Good news: we don't have to either. Your summer make-up will stay in place even in extreme heat and/or high humidity:

Heat-resistant foundation

If you don't want to go without your foundation even in high temperatures, use products with a 24-hour guarantee. In the evening, everything is still where you applied it in the morning. Another tip: avoid using rich creams in summer. Oil-free gel textures are just the thing now. A lighter solution for women who just want to optimize their complexion a little: BB creams. The tinted formula conceals but does not cover the skin. In both cases, use primer as a base, which ensures even longer wear and is applied directly to the skin after skincare.

Summer make-up that lasts

Whether eyeshadow or lip color - the magic word here is "long lasting". "Waterproof" means that the texture not only lasts in water, but is also sweat- and smudge-proof - ideal in temperatures above 30 degrees. It is better to trust highly pigmented colors. Matt lasts longer than glossy. Lip gloss is also highly recommended as you can quickly touch it up in between and don't need a mirror. Finally, mist everything with a setting spray to keep your complexion dewy even in tropical heat. And if you do work up a sweat: so-called "blotting papers" absorb beads of sweat inconspicuously.
