Summer in the Midwest is a coin toss. You can have hot, cold, humidity, sun, rain, etc. all in one day. I have to admit humidity is my number one beauty enemy in the Summer. It seems like no matter what I put on (or don't) humidity makes my skin feel super oily, sticky and gross. Not to mention how big my hair gets but that's a totally different post. As an Avon Rep., my go-to beauty is of course Avon products. I have also found that those blotting papers can be a girls BFF on a hot, humid day. (Please bring them back Avon!) I've put together a list of items that can help combat Summer beauty enemy #1 to share with you.
1. Primer - This is actually my first Summer using a makeup primer. It seems that Avon has been bombarded with a variety of primers lately. I chose Avon Magix Prime Face Perfector for 2 reasons - the price (it is the only Avon primer in my price range) and the SPF factor. I put it on and it gives me a nice matte feeling without any shimmer or stickiness. My makeup went on nicely over top and it helped with the oily feeling that I get later in the day. 👍👍 Check out Avon's primer selection here and use the chart below to help you pick the one for you!
2. Avon Wash-Off Waterproof Mascara - Traditional waterproof mascaras contain solvent based polymers that are very hard to remove and require special make up removers, however wash off waterproof contains unique emulsion technology that is easily removable with soap and water hence wash-off waterproof. Perfect for hot summer days!
5. Avon 2-in-1 Lip Tattoo Lip Line & Fill Duo - Check out my review of Lip Tattoo on my blog! I can personally say that this is a great lip product to wear with a mask. I've worn it several times under my cloth mask with zero smudges on the mask or on my face.
6. Finally set your Summer makeup look with a setting spray! This is the first Summer that I've used Avon True Color Makeup Setting Spray. Truth be told, in the past I sprayed my face with hairspray to help set my makeup. This is much better for my skin and not sticky. After a few spritzes you just let it dry to help your makeup stay in place.
