During the summer months, it can be a challenge to keep your makeup looking flawless throughout the day and night, especially if you opt for a full cover glam look. However, with the right products and techniques, a baddie can ensure that their makeup stays in place no matter how hot and humid it gets. So let's discuss how to create a full cover glam makeup look and make it last all day and night during your hot girl summer.
HOTTIE 101 STEPS:
To start off, it's important to begin with a clean and moisturized face. Make sure to use a primer that is mattifying and helps to control oil production. This will help your makeup stick better to your skin and prevent it from sliding off throughout the day.
Now use a foundation that offers full coverage and is long-wearing. Opt for a full-cover matte or satin finish foundation (like ours), as these are designed to last longer on the skin. Be sure to blend the foundation well, a beauty sponge (also like ours!) is perfect for patting the product into the skin to give it a skin-like flawless finish. Focus especially around the edges of your face, to avoid any harsh lines!
Next, apply a concealer to any areas that need extra coverage, such as under the eyes, around the nose, and on any blemishes or redness. Set your foundation and bake your concealer for 2-3 minutes with a translucent powder to lock everything in place and prevent excess shine.
For a full cover glam look, it's important to also focus on the eyes and lips. Use a primer specifically designed for the eyes (see our pearl eye primer) to ensure that your eyeshadow stays put all day. Opt for long-wearing eyeshadows in neutral shades that complement your skin tone. Finish off your eye makeup with waterproof mascara and eyeliner to prevent any smudging or running throughout the day. These are great because they also hold a curl the best!
When it comes to the lips, choose a long-wearing lipstick or lip stain in a bold color to complete your hot girl summer look. Make sure to exfoliate your lips beforehand to create a smooth canvas for your lipstick. To ensure it lasts all day and night, apply a lip liner first to outline your lips and prevent any feathering or bleeding.
To make sure your full cover glam makeup lasts all day and night during the summer, it's important to set everything with a makeup setting spray (see our oil control setting spray!). This will help keep shine down and lock everything in place.
By following these hottie tips and choosing the right products during the hotter months, you can create a full cover glam makeup look that lasts all day and night. So go ahead and work that bold makeup look with confidence babe, and keep your peace of mind knowing that it will stay put no matter how hot and humid it gets outside!
