MUA Shares Her Summer Beauty Tips & Tricks!
INCLUDING: Summer-Proofing Your Makeup, Sun Protection and Sunburn Advice, & Creating a Sunless Sun-Kissed Look
Saffron Hughes,
resident MUA at FalseEyelashes.co.uk, shares her tips and tricks
on everything to do with summer beauty, including how to increase the longevity
of makeup during the warmer summer months, how people can protect their skin
against the sun, and how to create a sun-kissed look without the sun.
Increasing
makeup longevity in summer
Saffron
recommended the following 10 steps to increase the longevity of your makeup
during the warmer summer months:
1. Update your night-time
skincare routine
o
Double cleanse to remove all product, residues, and bacteria
2. Stick to a daily skincare
routine
o
Cleanse, tone, moisturise, and wear SPF every day
3. Use a primer
o
Those with jelly or gel-like consistencies work best, as they
leave a tacky base for your makeup to stick to
4. Spritz a layer of setting
spray after applying skincare and primer
o
Doing this before applying your makeup will help with its
longevity
5. Correctly apply your base
makeup
o
Press or stamp the products into your skin, rather than swiping
or dragging
6. Use waterproof mascara and
eyeliner
7. Set your makeup with powder
8. Apply another spritz of
setting spray as the final step
9. Carry a pressed powder for
touch ups
10. Use an over-makeup SPF spray
o
To reapply your SPF throughout the day
Treating
sunburn at home
When it comes to
treating sunburn at home, Saffron advises to avoid exposing the burnt skin to
the sun again. Stay hydrated while healing – drink plenty of water – and take a
cold shower or bath, and/or apply cold compress to the area. Avoid scratching the
area and apply moisturiser (aloe vera soothes the skin). Take painkillers like
Ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and pain, and wear loose clothing to avoid
irritation.
If you are
dealing with peeling skin on your face or body, as tempting as it is, do not pick,
peel, or scratch the peeling skin off! Be gentle with your skin and apply aloe
vera or a cortisone cream. You can also apply a cold compress to the area to
soothe and prevent peeling. Remember to stay hydrated too!
Avoid applying
makeup to your sunburn as your skin needs time breathe and heal. However, if
you absolutely must wear some makeup, try a tinted moisturiser or skin tint -
something lightweight on the skin and apply after aloe vera and SPF.
Creating a
sunless sun-kissed beauty look
When it comes to
creating a sunless sun-kissed beauty look, Saffron recommended 4 key products:
-
Gradual tanning lotion
o
For a longer lasting tan for the summer months without having to
sit in the sun
-
Instant tan
o
For a quick tan to hit the beer garden or party
-
Bronzer and/or blush
o
Apply products to the parts of your face where the sun would hit
for a sun-kissed look – such as: top of the forehead, above eyebrows, nose, and
cheeks
o
Use liquid/cream products and applying in light layers with your
fingers or a beauty sponge, as this allows the product to melt into your skin
and blend flawlessly without being cakey
