Fight off smudged summer makeup


Rx for Brown Skin for African American skin care

 


Summer is here, which means you may need some help to keep your African American skin from looking sweaty and your makeup from running. Recently, Styleite published an article offering some quick tips on how to fix your makeup on days when the heat is almost too much to handle.


First, the news source said that properly applied foundation should last all day, just keep some blotting tissues with mop up any excess oil. Next, keep a Q-tip with you to take care of any mascara or eyeliner that may get under your eyes. The information provider also recommended keeping a few extra makeup products in your bag during the summer.


"Keep a bronzing compact in your bag, so that you can touch up your eyes or sculpt your cheekbones to create a glamorous look while you’re out and about," according to the news source.


Allure Magazine recommends using a cream foundation instead of a powder in the summer, because a powder can cake when it mixes with sweat and oil. Also, on top of sunscreen, be sure to wear bug repellent in the summer to protect your African American skin from bug bites.
