Fixing a summer beauty routine definitely needs a road map to get through. Along with our skincare regimen, our beauty kit also needs a summer upgrade. We love makeup and at the same time, we also want to avoid that melting makeup from extreme sweat because of the heat. But that doesn't mean, we won't wear makeup entirely in summer. It's best to go for light makeup looks considering the soaring temperature and a few smart swaps in your makeup kit can make it summer friendly. You might be loyal to your usually heavier, high coverage makeup but ditch it this summer for these lightweight substitutes. From the right lipsticks to the best eyeliners, we have it all covered for you to get you summer ready with these alternatives.
Tips To Avoid Heavy Makeup In Summer
1. Make BB Cream Your Best Friend
Summers are delightful until you have to counter that melting makeup face and none of us want that. This summer give a skip to the regular foundation and instead go for BB cream that suits your skin type and skin tone. BB creams are lightweight and give you a natural finish. They don't make your face look cakey and keep your face fresh all day long.

2. Easy Gel Liners
Gel eyeliners are known to have a long stay in comparison to other formulations and are a perfect pick to slay in summers. Even if you are opting for mascara, go for waterproof formulation as it will give you a long-lasting stay and prevent your makeup from melting.

Matte lipsticks are not just super stunning when you wear them, they are absolutely great for summer too with their long-lasting formulas and matte finishing. Go for soft and neutral colours instead of dark and bold ones as soft colours tend to give a lighter look to your makeup.

Summer looks are absolutely incompletely without sunscreen. Never give it a miss and do ensure that you are opting for the right SPF as per your need. Sunscreen not only helps in protecting your skin from the UV rays but also adds to your base, thereby making it a must have for every beauty look.
