I hate wearing a lot makeup in the summer, but I still want to look nice when I am out and about with my kids. Can you give me some tips for hot weather beauty?
The main thing about summer makeup is that it needs to be easy and fast. Your kids are going to be jumping up and down around your feet raring to get out, so a complicated makeup routine is out of the question. Just use these four simple products and you can get out the door in a hurry. They will hold up to the heat and protect your face as well! 1. Tinted Moisturizer: Put away your heavier foundation until the fall. It’s probably going to be a little too light in the summer anyway. Summer calls for a sheerer, more casual look. Find a tinted moisturizer that has at least a broad spectrum SPF 15. One with an SPF 30 would be even better. Just make sure it is oil-free so it doesn't separate in the heat. Here are a couple that I use for summer: Stila’s Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 ($30) comes in the widest variety of shades I have seen at stilacosmetics.com. Or, pick up Neutrogena's Healthy Defense SPF 30 Daily Moisturizer in light tint. You can find this at most drugstores for around $10. I thought I would give you a little preview of some of the upcoming columns coming soon to a computer near you! Next month I am dragging myself (ha ha ha) to two different spas in an effort to bring you an expose on spa etiquette. Ever wonder how much to take off in a massage? Or what exactly you should do with your legs when you are getting a bikini wax? They’re serious questions that will definitely take me two days of spa treatments to find out about. Luckily for me, I conned, uh, talked my parents into watching my girls. Also in June, stay tuned for my “Ode to Sunscreen”—a love affair with the goopy white stuff that we all have to use constantly, everyday, all day long. I love you sunscreen!!! |
