Wearing makeup in summer could be chaotic and messy due to the rising temperatures and humidity. One moment out in the heat could lead to greasiness and melting of your perfect makeup look. Summer is a season when your skin produces more sebum and sweat than usual, making it tougher to ace that flawless makeup look. 

While we adapt to the heat by  changing our wardrobe, food patterns and skincare routines, why not modify our makeup routine according to the rising temperatures? Read on as we guide you through the do’s and don’ts to achieve the much coveted, non-greasy summer makeup look with a fresh and flushed finish. 

Always begin with a primer 

Prepping your skin with a primer has become one of the most essential steps in a makeup ritual, especially in summer, to ensure that your makeup holds up in humidity and remains smudge proof. It smoothens the dry patches and bumps and lets the foundation cling better to the skin. Primers allow a smooth surface for you to spread the product that follows easily. The Forest Essentials Sanjeevani Beauty Elixir, doubling up as a moisturizer, gives your skin the perfect canvas to create a fresh, long lasting and smudge proof makeup look, for summer. This light gel textured pre-moisturizer penetrates deep into the skin to make it plump, soft and supple. 

Don’t forget to moisturize with an SPF 

With the hot and humid weather, most people decide to skip the step involving a moisturizer, let alone a SPF, thinking it would only add up to the layers on the skin. It is essential to moisturize well before applying any makeup to make sure it looks fresh without any dry patches and stays for long. Beside hydrating your skin, it is also paramount to make sure that your skin stays protected from the harsh rays of the sun. To eliminate the additional step of a heavy sunscreen, opt for a moisturizer with an SPF. May we suggest you explore the iconic Soundarya Radiance Cream with 24K Gold and SPF 25 that incorporates potent Ayurvedic herbs that help in restoring firmness and hydration of the skin, leaving it lustrous and smooth, while its SPF 25 helps in protecting your skin from sun damage and pollution.  

Keep it minimal, avoid heavier foundations 

If you want to prevent your makeup from looking too cakey or creased, “less is more” is the mantra to follow. Reduce the amount of foundation that you use for your makeup, or even better, choose to apply moisturizing skin tints that keep your parched skin dewy, hydrated and flawless. Explore the Forest Essentials Som Rasa Silk Skin Tint that suits you best. It is a light-weight and mousse like formulation that is exclusively created as a sheer, daily wear formula which can be used to naturally enhance your complexion. Much lighter than your conventional foundations, these Skin Tints by Forest Essentials blur out your imperfections and leave your skin looking effortlessly polished and even toned.

Ditch the powder blush to opt for cheek tints

Blush is a magical tool which, when applied, automatically brings life to your face. It adds balance and health to your skin and leaves it looking fresh. Although, when a powder blush is applied at the peak of summer, in humidity and heat, it might have an adverse effect on your skin by making it look too cakey. We suggest you opt for Cheek Tints that have creamy formulations and help add natural glow to your face. Explore the Noor Nikhaar Cheek Tints by Forest Essentials that are mousse like blends which provide a youthful flush of colour to the skin, mirroring the effect of a naturally sun-kissed look.

Choose simplicity for your eyes

A simple and natural looking eye makeup is your go to for summer. For a natural makeup look, explore the Forest Essentials Gulaab Khaas Kajals, available in 4 beautiful shades. These are infused with natural botanicals and enhance your look to make your eyes look bigger. May we also suggest you explore the Forest Essentials Nayantara Lash & Brow Serum to boost your lash volume and tame your eyebrow hair. This clear gel formula lifts and separates the lashes to give natural definition and can also be used to groom your brows.

Swap heavy lipsticks with Tinted Lip Serums 

Summer is the season when wearing anything heavy makes one feel uncomfortable. This also stands true for dark and heavy lipstick formulations. Switching your regular lipsticks with lip tints could possibly be one of the best decisions you make for the season. Make your lips look naturally healthy with a tint of your choice with the Madhu Rasa Tinted Lip Serums by Forest Essentials. Available in 4 universally appealing shades, these are infused with potent Ayurvedic herbs that lightly colour the lips while also leaving them scented and conditioned.
