Makeup Melt Down & What's Out There To Help

I've had a lot of Glammies asking for my opinion on what's the best primer to melt proof your makeup. With these hot summer months upon us we need all the help we can get. To help from shine and melting off, you must use a primer that's silicone free. I have tried quite a bit of primers and have my top 5 that I have found that work with hot weather.


Cover Fx Matte Primer $39
Anti shine primer that also help with breakout. It's paraben free, oil free, fragrance free.



Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer SPF 15 $17-52
Mineral based and water resistant formula that's silky smooth in texture. No Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Synthetic Dyes, and Phthalates. 



Lorac Aqua Prime $31
Water based that helps moisturize and preps skin.


 
Laura Mercier Oil Free Primer $30
Light weight gel that act like a barrier between skin and makeup.


Urban Decay De-Slick In A Tube $28
A gel that keep your skin matte all day. A little goes a long way with this one.


What have you found that works well for you? I want to hear from my Glammies.

Beauty Tip Of The week June 28-July 2, 2010

I know I haven't done this in sometime but will start adding it from now on. I Promise! The tip of the week is........ It' summer and time to change your foundation. Your outdoors more and enjoying the weather and what happens? You tan and you sweat. Change your foundation to a darker color and lighter formula or a tinted moisturizer is always good. If you tan a little bit and your current foundation is still usable then add a little bronzer. Make sure to use sun block and makeup items with at least SPF15. Have a great and safe summer!


Recommendation: High Price.  Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 and they carry oil free. Low Price. Clinique Almost Makeup with SPF 15. Bronzers: High Price. I like  Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess and Low Price. ELF Studio Bronzer

Money saving tip: You can make your own tinted moisturizer by mixing some of your foundation and a little of your fav lite moisturizer.
