Do you feel that the moment you put on your makeup in summer it melts?
During the hot months, it’s almost impossible to ensure your makeup lasts all day and well into the night, especially if you don’t want it to cake.
To find out how to ensure your glam stays put, FEMAIL spoke to makeup artists and beauty experts about their tried and true tips.
You might be priming with the wrong products and probably not using enough powder, so here’s how to get a long-lasting glow.
Rose-Marie Swift, makeup artist and founder of RMS beautytold FEMAIL: “When it comes to summer makeup, less is more and the lighter the better.”
Miranda Kerr is a long-time friend of RMS founder Rose-Marie Swift and swears by her products for their all-day glamour.
Summer I Turned Pretty actress Lola Tung is another RMS fan, showing how to maintain a subtle glow that stays put and doesn’t fade.
Rose-Marie said the same applies to how you prep your face with skincare products, because “the more you stack them up, the more likely the product is to leak out.”
“I avoid what I call barrier products, which are silicones, synthetic sunscreens and hyaluronic acid, because they leave a sticky film on the skin… unpleasant,” said the expert, whose beauty brands include Miranda Kerr and Lola Tung. .
Instead, Rose-Marie opts for the brand’s ReEvolve Radiance Locking Primer, which is a lightweight moisturizer and foundation that doesn’t have a sticky finish and keeps makeup in place.
Rose-Marie’s biggest tip is to “switch to a clean sunscreen” by looking for zinc oxide as an active ingredient.
“If others appear on the list, they are synthetic sunscreens and the end result will be sweating underneath,” the beauty guru warned.
And while you might enjoy hydrating with hyaluronic acid in the morning, Rose-Marie warned that it can cause ‘an extremely greasy and sticky result.’
Alternatively, she recommended using oils at night and switching up any heavy creams you use in the morning.
If you want to refresh your face but don’t feel like applying new makeup, Rose-Marie suggested a hydrating mist for a midday pick-me-up.
New York City-based Rose-Marie told FEMAIL, “When it comes to summer makeup, less is more and the lighter the better.”
“Use the sponge to press it into the skin of the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) after applying makeup and then carry it with you to touch up throughout the day,” Rose-Marie advised.
For those with oily skin who can’t seem to keep product in place, RMS just launched Hydra Setting Powder, which Rose-Marie promised will “be an oily girl’s (or anyone’s) best friend this summer.”
“Use the sponge to press it into the skin of the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) after applying makeup and then carry it with you to touch up throughout the day,” Rose-Marie advised.
RMS tested the product and found that it keeps shine away for eight hours, as long as people use the powder puff, which is a natural cotton that helps absorb excess oil.
And if your eye makeup seems to run down your face, there’s an easy trick.
Rose-Marie said to skip any skin care on your lids and try a primer followed by setting powder.
“Simply apply a pinch of setting powder to your eyelids before applying eyeliner to help keep everything in place and prevent transfer.”
Rose-Marie isn’t the only expert to suggest that a lack of powder could be the cause of makeup fading.
You’ll want to check your makeup ingredients if you feel like everything is melting and stay away from foundations with a high concentration of oil, opting for a water-based option.

Ana Tamayo began her career in 2009 as a freelance makeup artist and now works as executive director of product development at Polite society In Los Angeles.
Ana Tamayo works as Executive Director of Product Development at Polite Society after creating products at Too Faced.
Ana has another technique: She recommends starting with your regular skincare routine, followed by Polite Society’s More Than A Pretty Translucent Loose Powder all over your skin, to set your skincare and “create a soft, matte for the base”.
Then, apply foundation followed by another layer of powder to set everything in place.
“It’s important to use a finely ground setting power that is clinically proven to control oil, prolong makeup wear, and minimize the appearance of pores,” said Ana. “This will prevent your skin from feeling heavy and looking dry or cakey.” “.
You’ll also want to check the ingredients in your makeup if you feel like everything is melting and stay away from foundations with a high concentration of oil and opt for a water-based option.
And like Rose-Marie, Ana is a fan of prepping her face for powder eyeshadow with a loose setting powder to help tame oily lids.
