5 Summer Beauty Tips And Tricks For Makeup, Hair And Surviving Humidity

The changing weather of the summer season brings with it a new set of concerns when it comes to skincare, beauty and hair care. With rising temperatures and unparalleled levels of humidity, it often feels like your products just don't cooperate with your look. To keep you prepared this summer, we have five summer beauty tips and tricks that everyone needs to know.

Keeping Your Makeup Melt-Proof: One of the biggest summer hurdles is preventing your makeup from melting in the heat. While most people opt for a powder to seal in their look, they often forget to use a primer.

"To keep your makeup intact when there is high humidity, it is essential to first apply a good primer to seal the pores and leave the skin with a natural, velvety appearance," advises L’Oréal Paris Celebrity Makeup Artist Claudia Betancur. "A primer will help your make-up last longer and avoid smudging. I always use, L’Oréal Paris Revitalift Moisture Blur because it blurs the pores and fine lines instantly."

Preventing Eye Makeup From Melting: From melting eyeliner to creasing eye shadows, summer is the ultimate weather nemesis for eye makeup. When it comes to eye shadows, using a primer is a great first step to securing product to your lids and guaranteeing all-day coverage.

"Eye shadow tends to smear and clump in the eyelid crease so it is essential to use the appropriate eye shadow that has a special formula to last all day," explains Betancur. "This is a problem I see often and a question I get asked all the time so I recommend L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Eye Shadow because it lasts all days and stays where I apply it. It is perfect for hot summer days. The formula allows easy application and keeps intact from morning till night."

Eye shadow also plays a role in preventing your eye liner from smudging, as coating your liner with dark eye shadow is a great way to secure your liner, whether it be pencil, gel or liquid.

"If you want to add more definition, line your upper eyelash line with L’Oréal Paris Infallible Silkissime Eyeliner, its creamy liquid formula allows it to be applied with precise and ease," adds the makeup artist. "My last piece of advice for eyes is to apply a waterproof mascara like, L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Butterfly Mascara, which has a symmetrical brush to lengthen lashes giving the long butterfly "wing effect.""

Keep Your Makeup Looking Natural: Caking on layers of makeup is the greatest beauty faux pas during the summer. Keep your makeup light and basic so that your look is natural in appearance and effortless.

"The face is the first place people look at so women should always try to create a flawless doll-like canvas with minimal shine and a translucent appearance," says Betancur. "In order to achieve this look you must use a powder that gives a natural finish and absorbs oil quickly, such as the L’Oréal Paris True Match Mineral Pressed Powder."

Battle Frizzy Locks: Frizz can make any sleek look appear disheveled and unkempt. The summer temperatures leave your hair dehydrated, making moisture a crucial ingredient for hair health.

"Deep conditioning treatments are some of the best ways to reduce frizz and are a must during the summer," advises L’Oréal Paris Celebrity Hairstylist Marcos Carrasquillo. "Heat mixed with the humidity can really dry out your hair and it’s always good to replenish your hair with needed moisture. Use a treatment such as the L'Oréal Paris Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm. This nourishing balm revives and restores hair’s natural radiance -- and it’s oil-infused which is a plus in eliminating frizz."

Pick Bright Colors: Want to get on board this summer's trends? Know that bright colors are the way to go!

"This summer, it's all about bright colors," explains Betancur. "For the eyes feel free to use vibrant colors such as aqua, baby blue or teal. To play off the eyes, natural colored lips are a must -- almost make it look as when you bite off a fresh strawberry for a light red lip stain. L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lipcolour Liquid Extraordinaire carries a nice range of summer colors and gives instant shine to create the perfect lips for this season."
