Staying looking flawless is more of a challenge than usual when the temperatures rise, but a few little tweaks in your makeup routine can make all the difference! Check out my top 5 Makeup Tips to Beat the Heat This Summer in association with No7. Enjoy!

Even if you don’t want to change your look too much, the addition of a product and the switch of a formulation will help ensure your makeup stays in place as long as possible.

5 Makeup Tips to Beat the Heat This Summer

Prime Time!

I don’t use primers all the time, but when I want my makeup to last, I always make sure it is the first step in my routine. The No7 Airbrush Away Primer is excellent for creating a smooth, even base for foundation and other products to stick fast to. Because it has a skin perfecting action, it allows you to use less foundation and keep everything in very light layers which also helps with long wear.

Choose the Right Foundation

I find that the No7 Stay Perfect Foundation works very well with the Airbrush Away Primer. It has been formulated to last for up to 24 hours and has great pigmentation which means you get good coverage from a small amount of product. It also doubles well as a concealer so perfect to take away on your holiday when you want to avoid over packing.

Powder Where You Need It

Matte is great for winter, but I love my skin to look fresh and juicy in the summer. To achieve this, I make sure I only apply powder to the areas that need it – mainly in the t-zone where the oil tends to come through. Stick to light layers so that you can top up throughout the day without things getting cakey.

Use Creams

I sometimes find that powder blush can wear slightly unevenly when the weather is hot, so I love to use a cream product to add a juicy pop of colour. The No7 Pop & Glow Blush Sticks have a cream to powder texture which means they set well on the skin but retain the flexible, moisturised look that cream products impart. They also double up really well as lip colours.

Unbreakable Mascara

What you need in the heat is a mascara that literally won’t budge and I have put the No7 Stay Perfect Mascara to the test several times and it has delivered every time! It is a tubing mascara that actually encases the lashes with tubes of colour rather than it just being brushed on top. It doesn’t smudge, flake and is water-resistant – just what you need in the heat.
