During the summer, the skin can become exceedingly sweaty and oily, necessitating a refreshment of your skincare routine and makeup. And, no, it is not a difficult process; all you need to do is choose the right products (based on your skin type) and identify the proper application techniques, and you will have the perfect summer makeup. According to Snigdha Dua, Associate Professor of cosmetic at PearlxStudio, "with warmer weather and more time spent outdoors, it's important to choose makeup products that not only look wonderful but also protect and nurture your skin."

Choose lightweight formulas: A heavy foundation and thick concealer can feel uncomfortable and clog pores in hot and humid weather. Instead, choose lightweight products that provide sheer coverage while hydrating your skin, such as tinted moisturisers or BB creams.

Choose a sunscreen-infused formula: Sunscreen is essential in the summer but can be difficult to wear on top of makeup. Choose SPF-containing makeup products to streamline your process. Look for SPF 30 or higher and broad-spectrum protection.

Consider the finish: In the summer, a matte finish can appear flat and dry, but a dewy finish can appear shiny and oily. Select a natural-looking finish that does not draw attention to any oiliness on the skin. For a youthful radiance, use a radiant finish. Choose waterproof formula items for your eyeliner, mascara, and even your lipstick to guarantee your makeup stays in place.

Choose warm and vibrant colours: Summer is the ideal time to explore warm and vibrant colours. Choose coral, pink, orange, and peach blush, bronzer, and lip products. These colours will look stunning on tanned skin.

Consider your skin type: The cosmetics you should wear are heavily influenced by your skin type. If you have oily skin, avoid heavy lotions and instead choose lightweight, oil-free products. If you have dry skin, look for moisturising solutions with nourishing components like hyaluronic acid and glycerin.

Before you buy, please perform the following tests: Always test a new makeup product on your skin before purchasing it. This can help you assess if the formula fits your skin type and if the hue looks good on your skin tone.

Fix your makeup: Spray on an oil-controlling or mattifying makeup fixer to remove shine and extend the life of your makeup, especially if you have oily or mixed skin. It can be applied immediately after skincare prep to keep those oil glands in place for longer. "Choosing the right makeup for summer can be a game-changer for your skin,"

Dua said. Follow these guidelines to choose lightweight, sunscreen-infused, waterproof, and warm and brightly coloured products that are appropriate for your skin type and will enhance your summer glow."
