Hey everyone! So recently I was contacted by the lovely Lauren from Betterfly.com, she is a make-up artist who wanted to share with you all some quick tips on how to keep your face looking gorgeous even during the heat!

• Tinted moisturizer: Forget foundation! It’s likely to melt off at the first sign of heat. Instead, smooth on some tinted moisturizer with a high SPF (at least 15) to protect your face and give it a little glow.
• Oil absorbing sheets: Once you start sweating, your face can get super oily. Keep a packet of these oil absorbing sheets around for touch ups.
• Blemish control: Regardless of where you’re going, no one wants to go there with blemishes. Use a cream concealer to lightly cover dark spots and then use some press-on powder to help make it stay.
• Pale shadow: Should your makeup start to get melty, the creases and stains to your skin are going to be a lot more noticeable if you use dark colors. Opt for pink and peach tones that go well with your skin, and resist from piling them on heavily.
• Waterproof products: This is an obvious tip, but important nonetheless. There are some awesome and inexpensive waterproof mascara options out there. My current favorite is by Maybelline.
