Prevent a Summer Makeup Meltdown

July 14, 2011

Face

To look as fresh as Julianne Hough, start with a silicone-based primer with SPF, which anchors makeup and shields skin from harmful UV rays. Top with a light tinted moisturizer, then hide imperfections with concealer.

Cheeks

For a long-lasting glow like Olivia Palermo's, opt for a cream or liquid cheek stain. The pigment sinks into skin and stays put. Blend onto apples. Then, sweep a bronzer stick along cheekbones for a sun-kissed look.

Eyes

To enhance your eyes at the pool or beach use waterproof liquid liner and mascara, which stay put even after swimming. For Audrina Patridge's look, finish with shimmery gold or bronze creaseless cream shadow.

Lips

For lips that look shiny, not gooey like Ali Larter's, go with bright lip stain topped with a moisture-rich balm. Avoid glosses, which can melt and get sticky.
