5 Summer Makeup Tips for Your Travels
Summer is the season for adventure, and whether you’re exploring a new city, enjoying beach days, or hiking in the great outdoors, you need makeup that can withstand the heat, humidity, and long hours of fun. Traditional makeup doesn’t always make the cut in these hot conditions, but with the right products and techniques, you can achieve a long-lasting look no matter where your travels take you. We are sharing summer makeup tips using Ayu Vegan Cosmetics that will keep you looking fresh, sweatproof, and glowing all day long. From sweat-resistant foundations to the perfect summer glow, let’s dive into how you can keep your makeup in place while still looking radiant and natural.
1. Start with a Clean, Hydrated Base for Long-Lasting Makeup
Before applying any makeup, prepping your skin is crucial for achieving a smooth, flawless finish that lasts. Clean, hydrated skin provides the perfect canvas for makeup, helping it better and last longer.Start by massaging a small amount of Ayu Skin Cleansing Balm onto your dry face.
- Gently work it in circular motions to remove dirt, oil, and makeup residue.
- Add a little water to emulsify, then rinse off with warm water, leaving your skin feeling clean and hydrated.
- If you're in a humid climate, opt for a lightweight, non-greasy formula to avoid clogging pores while keeping your skin fresh and dewy.
2. Use a Primer for Longer-Lasting Makeup
Priming your face is the secret to locking in makeup, especially in warm and humid weather. A good primer not only creates a smooth surface for your makeup but also helps it stay intact for longer hours. It acts as a protective layer, preventing oils from breaking down your makeup and offering extra hold throughout the day. If you’re travelling, try clear illuminating face base which helps to mattify and smooth out imperfections. This primer is perfect for the hot summer months as it controls shine while allowing your makeup to last longer, making it an essential step for your travel makeup routine.
3. Choose the Right Waterproof Foundation
One of the most important summer makeup tips is to choose waterproof & sweatproof foundation formulas. During hot weather or when you're traveling, your foundation needs to withstand sweating, humidity, and the occasional splash of water. A sweat-resistant foundation ensures that your makeup won’t melt away, leaving you looking fresh all day. Now, foundation is ideal for summer travel, as it keeps your skin looking even and radiant, even during a full day of sightseeing or outdoor activities.
Steps to Apply Foundation:
- After cleansing and moisturising your skin, ensure it’s completely dry. If you’ve used a primer, apply it first to create a smooth base and help your foundation last longer.
- Take a small amount of Ayu’s Perfect Skin Foundation and dot it onto your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. This gives you a good starting point for even coverage.
- Use a makeup sponge or brush to blend the foundation into your skin. Start from the centre of your face and work outwards, making sure to blend well along the jawline and neck to avoid harsh lines.
- If you need more coverage, apply a second thin layer of foundation and blend. Build up to your desired coverage without over-applying for a natural finish.
4. Add a Radiant Glow with Cream Blush and Highlighter
Summer is all about glowing skin, and you can achieve that perfect sun-kissed look with cream blush and highlighter. Cream formulas are a great option for summer because they blend effortlessly into your skin, creating a natural, dewy finish that looks fresh and youthful.
Ayu’s Bronze Cream Blush is a fantastic choice for adding colour to your cheeks while providing a natural, warm glow. Pair it with liquid light highlighter for a luminous finish that catches the light. These products give your skin a healthy, hydrated look without feeling heavy or cakey perfect for those long days in the sun.
5. Don’t Forget the Lips!
A summer makeup look isn’t complete without a pop of colour on the lips. But remember, hydration is key! Hot weather can leave your lips feeling dry and chapped, so it’s important to apply a nourishing lip balm before adding any colour.
Ayu’s Lip Balm is a must-have for keeping your lips hydrated and soft, while also adding a subtle tint of colour. It’s travel-friendly and small enough to slip into your bag, ensuring you can hydrate and refresh your lips throughout the day. For a more dramatic look, follow up with a lip gloss or lipstick that complements your makeup.
