As fall approaches in Southern California, the temperature starts to rise and your skin begins to change. September means shorts and dresses come out of the back of the closet and you’re ready to hit the streets. Your wardrobe isn’t the only thing that should change as the heat approaches. Your makeup routine should also feature new products because the products you currently use don’t work well for the fall. We’ve narrowed it down to the staples your makeup bag should include.
Water Repelling Primer
Primer is one of the most important beauty products because it's the base that will make your foundation last in the heat. The Hourglass Veil Primer ($54) will make your makeup application easier. It is perfect because it contains SPF 15 to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Carisa Janes, the Hourglass founder claims that the primer repels water, so it can help your makeup last if you go for a swim.
Waterproof Foundation
Foundation is a necessary makeup product that can help your face look flawless. Many women don’t like to wear foundation when it gets too hot because they think it will start to melt. Kat Von D Lock-it Tattoo Foundation ($35) is the solution because it provides 24-hour wear, is waterproof, and doesn’t transfer. Best of all, it’s vegan.
Smudge-Proof Brows
Although it might be hot outside, your brows should stand out because they are what frames a woman’s face. As many women know, Anastasia Beverly Hills is the queen of brows, and many women swear by her products. It’s no shock that her DIPBROW Pomade ($18) made the list. The Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pomade is waterproof and doesn’t smudge, which makes it ideal for scorching heat.
Translucent Loose Setting Powder
Setting Powder
The Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder ($38) is the best translucent powder in the InStyle Best Beauty Buys award two years in a row. The Laura Mercier powder comes in two shades: translucent and translucent medium deep. The powder adds an extra layer of protection to your makeup without altering the color of your foundation.
Mattifying Setting Spray
A good setting spray is definitely worth investing in, especially a mattifying one. This is the last step in your makeup routine and should not be skipped. The COVER FX Mattifying Setting Spray ($31) controls oils and will lock your makeup so it stays on throughout your day at the beach. This setting spray will ensure your selfies look their best.
Mascara
Waterproof Mascara is another essential makeup product. As the temperature rises, regular mascara doesn’t work the same because it transfers onto your lids and ruins the look. The Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes Waterproof Mascara ($23) will give you curly, long, and voluminous lashes.
MAC Dazzleglass Lipgloss
Lip Gloss
