Singapore has hot and humid weather, especially during the summertime. So while you might get excited about the prospect of getting dolled up in your chicest summer getup and enjoying a fun-filled day under the sun, you might also want to consider a way to keep your makeup intact. After all, the last thing you want is to have your foundation melting away, your mascara smearing everywhere, and your lipstick feeling sticky.
To help you prep your face and set your makeup to withstand the heat of Singapore weather, here are some beauty hacks you can try.
Moisturise
Before applying your makeup, it’s important to prep your face using moisturizer, but not just any moisturizer; you need an oil-free product to prevent your face from getting greasy while under the Singapore sun.
What’s more, applying oil-free moisturizers doesn’t clog your pores and keeps your face hydrated despite the heat. If you’re looking for the right product to use, you can try Browtisan’s Celmonze Hydro marine Hydration Complex to revitalize your skin throughout the day and keep it hydrated.
Apply sunscreen
After applying your moisturizer, the next step is to apply for ample protection. This means sunscreen. Not only does exposing your face to direct sunlight burn your skin and increase your chances of developing dark spots, but it also speeds up the aging process, which is never a good thing.
Protect your skin by applying Celmonze Celsoft Sun Protection SPF25+ before putting it on your foundation. This extra layer of sunscreen can provide an effective barrier against the harmful effects of UV rays while smoothening the signs of inflammation. In addition, this product is water-resistant and color-correcting, making it the perfect base for your makeup.
But if you don’t want the hassle of adding an extra step to your routine, you can opt for a 2-in-1 product like the Celmonze Nutricel BB Cream. This product combines the protective layer of the sunscreen and the covering effect of your foundation into one convenient product. To get the best results, apply this product after applying your day cream.
Use lightweight foundation
Sometimes, the best course of action to beat the summer heat is to apply less and lighter makeup products. Finding products like BB creams and tinted moisturizers is a good way to reduce the number of products on your face.
But if you want more coverage, you can always apply another layer of lightweight foundation. This means, instead of using a liquid product on your face, you can opt for a loose powder foundation. Doing so will keep the rest of your makeup in place without having to worry about it melting off.
Rather than lipstick, apply lip tint
Lipstick is another heavy product to avoid in the summer. So, switch your matte lip products with the simplest yet effective lip tint. These are long-lasting products that stay on your lips without budging throughout the day.
Another great thing about using lip tint is that it's so versatile. For example, if you want to moisturize your lips at any time of the day, you can apply lip balm on top of the tint, and it wouldn’t move. On the other hand, if you want to add more shimmer to your lips, you can layer a lightweight loss.
Skip the mascara and go for eyelash extension
With the lips done, it’s time to move to the eyes. The usual eye makeup involves applying eyeliner and mascara. But you know, these products tend to weigh down your eyes and smudge everywhere. So, an easy solution is to go for eyelash extensions at Browtisan.
With these extensions in place, you can say goodbye to short, sparse lashes and say hello to effortlessly long, voluminous lashes.
Same with brows: instead of filling them in, try eyebrow embroidery
The same goes for brows. Why bother going through the process of applying several brow products when you can have naturally thick and full brows through eyebrow embroidery.
Eyebrow embroidery is a trendy treatment that can give you perfect brows. Whether you want Misty Eyebrow Embroidery, Korean Eyebrow Embroidery, or Microblading Eyebrow Embroidery, many beauty salons in Singapore offer a wide range of services.
With these hacks, you’re all set and ready to take on Singapore weather with no hassle.
