5 Makeup Hacks For Summer

If you love makeup as much as I do, it's important that you know how to keep your glam from melting off in the hot summer sun. These are just some of the tricks I do while getting ready that will help your beauty routine during the hot weather.

SPF Primer

Before applying your makeup, it's always important to use a primer in order for your foundation do stay in place. During the summer, using a primer with sunscreen in it will not only keep your makeup from melting off, but will also protect your skin against the sun! I use the Maybelline Master Primer with SPF 30.

Powder Instead of Cream

When applying your makeup, be sure to switch it up during the summer season. Personally, I use a heavy liquid foundation on my face and a pomade gel to fill in my eyebrows. If you know you're going to be out in the sun all day, switch to powder products to be sure that your face won't melt off. I use the Maybelline Fit Me powder on my face and any brown eyeshadow for my brows.

In the hot weather, instead of going full on glam, I tend to stick to the basics. A gentle brown smokey eye, some eyeliner, and mascara is my go-to look when I know I'm going to be outside or in the sun. If you don't want to give up your beat face, see my next tip.

Setting Spray

Setting spray is as important, if not more important, than priming your face before applying makeup. When you're finished with your look, be sure to apply a copious amount of setting spray in order to set your face and keep your makeup in place. It also acts as a way to cool down your face when outside in the sun. I use the NYX Matte Finish setting spray.

Don't Be Afraid To Touch Up

When I know I'll be out for a while, I always take a few of my makeup products with me in my bag to touch-up my face if necessary. I always carry my setting spray to cool down my face, whatever lip product I'm wearing that day, my powder, and some oil blotting sheets. You can put these items in a cute makeup bag to put in your purse, and don't be afraid to fix anything that may be going wrong with your makeup! It's just a girl thing, people will understand.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
