5 Tips to Make Your Liquid Foundation Last All Day This Summer

Summer is finally here and while the warm and sunny days are great for your body and mind, your skin might not like the rising temperatures, especially if you have applied liquid foundation. The heat makes you sweat and if you have oily skin, it can get oilier during summers. All these changes can melt the liquid foundation off your face and make you look like a shiny mess by the end of the day. If you are looking for effective ways to make your foundation last longer during summer, stay tuned. In this article, we will discuss how you can make your foundation last all day and what are some of the best foundations for summer.  

Tips To Make Your Liquid Foundation Long-Lasting During Summer

Take a look at the following list of tips and increase the stay time of a liquid foundation on your face. 

1. Prep Your Skin

If your skin is not correctly prepped for makeup, even the best foundation for summer will not last all day or give you the desired results. Prepping your skin helps keep your liquid foundation in place and creates a smooth canvas for you to work on. Dirt, sweat, and oil tend to block your pores and make the surface of your skin textured and irregular. Any foundation applied on such skin will slip and slide throughout the day. 

To ensure your liquid foundation lasts longer on your skin, follow a daily skincare routine that includes cleansing, toning, and moisturising to keep your skin clean and hydrated. Exfoliate your face once or twice a week to unclog your pores and keep it feeling smooth. 

2. Use A Primer

Once your skin is all clean and prepped, apply a primer all over your face. A primer prolongs the wear of your liquid foundation and helps your makeup last all day. The primer fills in all your pores and fine lines and creates a smooth and even surface for your foundation to go on. Try the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Primer that fits individual skin textures, minimises your pores, and holds the foundation for up to 16 hours. Now, that your skin is prepped with a primer, you can move to apply any foundation for summer. 

3. Choose An Oil Free Foundation

The presence of oil in your liquid foundation can create a greasy base that can cause the rest of your makeup to wear off easily. You can use oil-free foundations for summer to enjoy a flawless finish that will last all day. Pro tip: Even if you have dry skin, avoid using an oil-based foundation. Instead, use an extra nourishing moisturiser to hydrate your skin and then apply the liquid foundation. Pro tip: Instead of looking for the best foundation for dry skin in summer, go for one that suits your skin the best.  

For example, the Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation is an oil-free foundation that delivers 24-hour coverage! The saturated colour pigments of this long-lasting foundation provide full coverage without feeling heavy on the skin. The lightweight formula of the Super Stay foundation glides on your skin easily and does not clog pores, making it one of the most effective summer foundations for oily skin. We hope this essential makeup product certainly concludes your search for the best lightweight foundation for summer.  

4. Less Is More

If you want your foundation for summer to last all day, you should remember to work in light layers and gradually add coverage. A cakey foundation will not only make your skin feel heavy but will also take away the lasting power of the foundation. We recommend using a damp beauty blender while applying foundation as it offers a very natural finish to your skin.  

5. Set Your Makeup

After applying your liquid foundation for summer, set it in place with a loose or pressed powder. Try the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Pressed Powder to set your makeup with a natural matte finish. Continue with the rest of your makeup products like blush, bronzer, highlight, etc. 

Once you are done with all of your makeup and are happy with your look, set it with a setting spray. A setting spray prolongs the wear of your liquid foundation for summers, and helps all your makeup blend together seamlessly, giving it a very natural look. Use the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Setting Spray to control oil throughout the day, soothe the skin, and give it a mattifying finish. The transfer-proof formula helps stay your makeup in place without budging at all and most importantly doesn’t clog pores.
