Summer is happy season. Everyone just can’t help it. You know why? Because serotonin levels, the “happy” moderators in our brain that lift our mood increase as the sun shines throughout the day.

But what all of us don’t want to see is to have those nice pinky face sun-kissed in the summer sunshine ruined by make-up melting. Cosmetics melt-down is not a very pretty sight.

Here are five tips to keep that face beautiful and brilliant:

Tip 1: Use your facial moisturizer (with SPF) sparingly or switch to an oil-free one. You’ll probably sweat it off anyway so keep it low key.

Tip 2: Apply long-wearing lipstick or lip stain — they’re heat and humidity proof.

Tip 3: To help set your makeup and keep it looking fresh throughout the day, indulge in a light dusting of translucent powder.

Tip 4: Use a mattifying primer (on both face and eyes) that will absorb excess moisture before applying blush.

Tip 5: Use waterproof mascara to prevent perspiration from causing unwitting raccoon eyes.

So there you go. Have a beautiful summer.
