One thing’s for sure: As the temperatures rise, you have to adjust your beauty regiment to make sure your makeup lasts. Whether you’re soaking up the sun on a beach somewhere, having a romantic patio dinner or rocking out at an outdoor concert, here’s a few tips to make sure you’re makeup is melt-proof.

A primer is the first step to a lasting look because it creates a barrier between your skin and humidity. Prep with Primer Sunreliable SPF 20 by Colorescience Pro, which comes in three different formulas that camouflage redness, give a sun-kissed glow and mattify oily complexions. While you’re at it, apply the BECCA Cosmetics – Eye Priming Perfector, which keeps eye pigment in place and prevents creasing.

A long-wearing, silicone-based foundation is key for all-day perfection. Mineral BB Cream SPF 25 by G.M. Collin not only evens out skin tone, moisturizes and covers up flaws, but also safeguards the skin against harmful rays. The silky silicones smooth out the skin’s surface, resulting in the perfect canvas for the rest of your makeup. A cream blush is more likely stay put in sweltering heat, and a lip stain won’t budge either. Waterproof mascara is a no-brainer to avoid racoon eyes.

Finish with BECCA Cosmetics – Blotting Powder Perfector, which is formulated with special blend of silica beads to keep oil and shine under control. The self-contained brush makes it easy to toss into your bag for quick on-the-go touch-ups.

With these steps, you’ll look fresh even in the dog days of summer.
