Beauty Products and Tips to Handle the Heat during Festivals

For a fun weekend in the summer, try these five beauty tips

There's no doubt that music events are the best place to feel good, hear great music, and sweat. It might seem like you'll melt into the sun's rays, the happiness, and the dance floors' thumping beats. Friends who are going to the event, don't be scared. Read this piece if you want to go from being a messy mess to a beautiful party animal ready to take on any beat.

Hack No1: Prime Shine Control Time

Imagine this: Your carefully planned festival look had turned into a hazy watercolor picture by lunchtime, undoing all your hard work. Who did it? Oil. Your sebum glands swell up, and your face turns into a dancing ball when you're excited and it's hot outside. In this case, primers are very helpful.

Stuff About Science: Priming is like putting on makeup with double-sided tape. It loses its shine because it soaks up more oil. But it makes your face look smoother, so your makeup stays put. The American Academy of Dermatology found that primers make makeup last much longer, especially in hot and muggy places [1].

Perfect Festival: Put on a base that makes your skin matte instead of a heavy lotion. Try to pick ingredients like dimethicone, silica, or kaolin clay, known for soaking up oil. A thin layer should be put on the T-zone (the forehead, nose, and chin) and other areas that tend to get shiny.

Expert Advice: People with dry skin have hope! There are primer mixtures that are made to help with oil production. Primers like this usually have a lightweight, soothing base that works well to soak up oil without making the skin feel dry.

Hack No2: Foundation Freedom: Go for a Lightweight Look

Packing on foundation in the summer is not a good idea because it's hot. It can be challenging for sweat to leave your face when you wear a lot of makeup, even if you do it right. Pick a style that is less fake and more open instead.

These are your choices:

Tinted Moisturizing Cream: This is the right thing to go with something that needs a bit of color and some moisture. If you want extra sun protection, try to find products with an SPF.

B.B. Cream, often known as B.B. creams, are unique because they cover lightly to moderately, keep the face moist, and reduce redness, two common skin problems.

Concealer for Spots: A good spot makeup is your hidden tool against those stubborn pimples. To escape the cake face and get a perfect finish, only cover some areas with it.

Festival Flawless: Put on a thin, even layer of your favorite makeup with a beauty blender that has been wet. If you want to look your best, you should show them off.

Expert Advice: If you tend to get oily quickly, use a mattifying setting powder to keep your shine under control all day. Be careful with the powder because you don't want to look cakey under the stage lights.

Hack No3: Essential Makeup Products for Waterproof Protection

Sweat occurs. But that doesn't mean you have to remove your makeup, either! Your eye makeup should be dry or water-resistant, like brows, mascara, and eyeliner. During the whole event, these heroes will make you look fierce no matter how long you dance.

Stuff About Science: Old-fashioned mascaras break down when you sweat or cry because they contain water-soluble ingredients. On the other hand, waterproof mascaras contain film-forming polymers that surround your eyelashes in a shield that can't be broken through. A 2019 International Journal of Trichology study compared waterproof and non-waterproof mascaras. The data showed that the waterproof versions were much less likely to get smudged.

Perfect Festival:  Since the Kohl liner is so easy to smudge, you shouldn't use it. Use a gel liner or pencil that stays on all day to make your eyes stand out. The same reasoning applies here: choose a protective mascara that stops raccoon eyes.

Expert Advice:  For an extra dose of staying power, apply a waterproof eyeshadow primer to your lids before using any eyeshadow or eyeliner. This creates a barrier that helps prevent creasing and fading.
