I like to go without makeup as often as I can in the summer, but there’s no way to avoid those must-look-polished occasions. Unfortunately, heat is a major makeup spoiler. When the temperature rises, anything you put on your skin is subject to melt-off. Prevent the sweaty, streaky look with these tips:1. Use fewer layers. Instead of applying three products to your face--moisturizer, sunscreen, and foundation--choose an SPF-spiked tinted moisturizer. The less product on your skin, the less there is to slide off. And don’t just reserve the stuff for your face: Blend it over your neck and chest, too, for an even tone.
2. Switch to waterproof. No-budge technology is now incorporated into almost every type of makeup (eyeshadow, blush and beyond), but I find it most useful when it comes to the old standby: waterproof mascara. Besides staying on no matter what, which I knew, I recently found out it also makes a curl last all day (like hairspray).
I don’t love that waterproof mascara is so tricky to remove, but I’ve learned a technique that works well and is gentle on my eye area: Saturate two cotton pads with remover, hold each against a closed eye and count to 10 before swiping outward.

3. Make lips last. Even if my foundation and blush have long since disappeared, with some color on my lips (and mascara), I can look put together. Lip stains stand up to the heat better than sticks and glosses, and they’re less likely to smear and bleed outside the lines. If you’re heading outside, remember to top the stain with a lip balm with SPF.
