9 Makeup Must-Haves For Long, Hot Summer Days
9 Makeup Must-Haves For Long, Hot Summer Days
By Khanak Mehta
The summer season is here and we all know what that means – it's time to put away our deep, cherry lipsticks and black eyeliners and dust off our pop lipsticks and eyeshadows.
But, between the long work or college days and the summer heat, it can be a little hard to pull off a full face of colourful makeup and make it last all day long.
So, on the days when the temperature is hot, hot, hot, keep your full coverage picks aside, and stick to this light, no-makeup makeup routine instead. We promise that this will require minimal touch-ups and keep you looking fresh even at the end of the day.
