A makeup meltdown isn't cool, and in summer, it's particularly brutal. Despite your best efforts to prime and de-shine, some days sweat wins. Thankfully, with the help of mattifying and budge-free formulas, there's a solid crop of beauty products ready to help fight the slide and keep your face in place all day long.
Too Faced Peach Perfect Foundation ($36): If you're looking for a base that won't transfer all over your summer whites — start here. This formula will give you 14 hours of medium matte coverage without looking cakey.
Urban Decay Born To Run All Nighter Travel-Size Setting Spray ($15):
Not only will this spritz do its job for 16 hours, but it has temperature-control technology, which lowers the temp of your makeup so that your foundation, eyeshadow, blush, and concealer don't melt off your face — no matter how sweltering it gets.
Catrice Prime And Fine Make Up Transformer Drops Waterproof ($8):
Add a few squeezes of these genius drops to any foundation to make it waterproof. Sounds like magic, because it kind of is.
Huda Beauty New Lash Glue ($18): Whether you're hitting the summer wedding circuit or falsies are a part of your regular routine, you'll want to upgrade your glue to a solution that's both tear and sweat-proof.
Kat Von D 24-HR Super Brow Long-Wear Pomade ($19): If your look isn't complete without a done brow, try this budge-proof gel that holds up for an entire day and comes in a mix of natural tones and seven highly pigmented, artistic colors.
Maybelline New York Lip Studio Prime It Up Lip Primer ($8): If the rest of your face is staying in place, your lip should too. Swipe this clear base on before your lipcolor, and it'll last through happy hour and beyond.
NARS Liquid Blush in Torrid ($30): Powder blush can get messy in the heat. Try a liquid to powder formula that, once set, stays right where you applied it (without caking up).
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat Moisturizer ($32): If a no-makeup look is more your speed, add a mattifying moisturizer that'll keep skin hydrated without looking greasy.
Dose of Colors Set The Tone Cream Matte Eyeliner in Sleepover ($19): You'll need to work fast when applying, but when the creamy color settles (use it as a shadow or liner), it's hardcore smudge and budge-proof no matter how hot it gets.
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Longwear Shaping Foundation Makeup Stick ($13): Use this stick to conceal, for all-over coverage, or to create face-shaping contour. Either way, it'll stand the test of time during warm-weather months. And it features a bonus built-in SPF.
Il Makiage Encore Lasting + Water-Resistant Mascara($27): Not only will you look like you're wearing falsies, but your new thick, long, intensely black lashes will be as fresh as first swipe, hours after applying.
Ardell Beauty Metallic Lip Gloss in Blind Date ($10): This buy goes on like a suede lip cream but dries down to a shimmery long-wear metallic that's just the right level of glitzy for both day and night summer festivities.
St. Tropez Self Tan Purity Face Mist ($30): Sure, you'll get lots of sun this summer, but help from a clear self-tanner fluid that won't run or rub all over your clothes as your body heats up is a nice glow booster.
Danessa Myricks Beauty Waterproof Creme Palette in Fire & Ice ($36): These cream multi-taskers (use them as highlighters, shadow or on lips!) will keep you glistening, with no makeup disasters, even on the hottest of days.
