At the middle of the semester I stopped doing my makeup, because I wanted to sleep a little bit more, and meditate in the mornings and that’s what I sacrificed (you can read more about it here).  Now that it’s summer and I have the energy, the time and want to do my makeup, the summer heat hasn’t really let me. My solution, I have simplified my routine to accommodate my sweaty face (I know, gross, sorry) and still feel that I did my makeup.

This heat has been so horrible that as soon as I turned the shower off I start sweating, and of course living in a sauna (because that is how my apartment feels), doesn’t help.  I noticed that even without finishing my makeup, it already looked bad and gross, specially my upper lip and forehead.  As a result, now I avoid those areas, and foundation. I’ll say is a good happy medium between no makeup and a full face of makeup.

My lifesaver has been my concealer.  I apply it under my eyes, a little bit on my chin and the center of my forehead and nose and then I set it with powder.
