What Kinds of Makeup We Choose in Summer

Summer calls for lightweight, sweat-proof, and sun-protective beauty essentials. Here’s a list of must-have cosmetics to stay fresh and glowing in the heat:  

1. Sun Protection 
-Sunscreen (SPF 50+ PA+++) – Essential to prevent sun damage (e.g. La Roche-Posay Anthelios, Biore UV Aqua Rich).  
- Tinted Sunscreen / BB Cream – Light coverage with UV protection (e.g., Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream).  

2. Lightweight Base Makeup
Oil-Free Primer – Controls shine & keeps makeup in place (e.g., NYX Shine Killer, Benefit Porefessional).  
- Matte Foundation or Cushion Compact – Long-wearing & sweat-resistant (e.g., Estée Lauder Double Wear, Laneige BB Cushion).  
- Concealer – Waterproof formula for dark circles & blemishes (e.g., NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer).  

3. Sweat-Proof Eye Makeup
- Waterproof Mascara – Prevents smudging (e.g., Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof*).  
- Eyeliner (Gel/Liquid) – Long-lasting & smudge-proof (e.g., Stila Stay All Day Liquid Liner).  
- Neutral Eyeshadow Palette – Light, blendable shades (e.g., Urban Decay Naked Basic).  

4. Blush & Bronzer
- Cream Blush – Natural, dewy finish (e.g., Glossier Cloud Paint).  
- Matte Bronzer– For a sun-kissed look (e.g., *Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk’r).  

5. Lips
- Tinted Lip Balm with SPF– Hydrates & protects (e.g., Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm).  
- Long-Lasting Lip Stain – Won’t fade in heat (e.g., *Benefit Benetint*).  

6. Setting & Touch-Up
- Mattifying Powder– Reduces shine (e.g., *Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder*).  
- Setting Spray – Locks makeup in place (e.g., *Urban Decay All Nighter*).
