5 Drugstore Makeup Products That Are Your Best Friend During The Summer
Inexpensive makeup products that will keep you looking put together throughout the hot and sweaty final days of summer.
One of the worst feelings is walking to class and feeling the foundation you spent the past hour blending out, slowly dripping down your face. The agony! Hot summer days are the worst for wearing makeup, but if you aren't comfortable pulling a full-on Alicia Keys then these products will help your face make it through the remaining days of summer.
1. BB and CC Creams Can Be Your BEST FRIENDS.
The sun, although not good for your skin, actually acts as an anti inflammatory. This means that your skin will probably look and feel better during the summer, so why use a full coverage foundation? BB and CC creams are great if you want to just even out your skin tone and get the added protection of sunscreen. You can still have a polished look without loading up on the heavy foundation that will soon melt like a popsicle.
2. Setting Powder Will Save Your Face.
If you aren't comfortable with minimal coverage and want to use your everyday foundation that's fine! Just don't forget to SET IT! Setting powder acts as a seal for your foundation. Especially if you "bake" your face, you can feel the powder sucking up all of the moisture from your skin. If powder isn't your favorite, try a matte setting spray like...
3. Highlighter... Duh
Who doesn't want to look like they were kissed by the sparkle gods? Need I say more?
4. Blotting Paper
Are your oils slowly seeping through your foundation? Grab a piece of blotting paper, dab it on to your skin and voila! No one will ever know how hot and sweaty you really feel.

5. Lip Balm Isn't Just For Winter
I don't know about you, but my lips are just as dry in the summer as they are in the winter. A balm with sunscreen is especially helpful on extremely hot days. I definitely don't ever want to find out what sunburned lips feel like. Throw on some lip balm with a little gloss and you're good to go!
