The Lipstick League Question of the Week
Summer is here and the temperatures are rising. So tell us: what’s your current favorite product to help keep your makeup in place in warm weather?
G's answer: if I'm not going anywhere special and it's ridiculously hot (over 100 degrees), I skip makeup altogether and just slap on some sunscreen (and resign myself to people asking if I'm tired or sick, which is often the case when I don't wear makeup!). But if it's super hot and I have to wear makeup, I do the following: primer (Black Radiance Complexion Perfection), long-wear foundation (CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation), and shine control powder (Neutrogena Invisible Shine Control Powder). That trio is pretty darned bullet-proof in hot weather.
The Lipstick League Links of the Week
Beauty Junkies Unite - Sunscreen is known to protect your skin from UV rays, and usually -- that's almost all they do! What if I told you that we found a very versatile sunscreen that multi-tasks?
Blushing Noir - Buying just ONE piece of The Estée Edit line will pull you into a black hole of needing it all. Here are a few of my faves (with many more to come)!

I just put on some mascara, eyebrows and maybe some Benetint if I need a little color. My favorite brow pencil for when I need to beat the heat is Sephora waterproof eyebrow pencil in Rich Chestnut. Its not as dark as the name would lend you to believe.
ReplyDeleteIt's 90-plus today and the humidity is about the same, so it's a moisturizer, concealer (NYX High Definition) and touch of mineral powder foundation day. (Plus mascara and sheer lipstick.) My skin has been better since I've been using glycolic acid pads that now on really miserable days I actually feel more than decent with that routine. Maybe eyeliner and little touchups if it's a day where I need to feel more polished...
