Go minimal
Whether you're going to the beach or just feel like embracing the carefree summer vibe, skip base entirely and stick to concealer. Covering up shadows, spots, or blemishes with just a concealer means you won't have to worry about blotting away your make-up along with shine. Dab on a slightly tacky stick concealer with your fingers – the denser formula will stay put longer than a liquid.

Try a tinted moisturiser
Not comfortable going entirely nude? Leading make-up artists suggest swapping foundation for tinted moisturisers that even out the skin tone, add radiance, and don't feel heavy in the heat. For a sheer glow, look for
an illuminating formula.

Shine strategically
To keep minimal summer make-up glowing, some make-up artists suggest adding light-catching highlights. Blend a touch of liquid highlighter on the tops of the cheekbones and brow bones and down the bridge of the nose. That takes a little practice – don't go all the
way to the tip of the nose, or it will look oily.

Use multitasking make-up
Easy-to-blend satin-finish lipstick is just as resilient as a cream blush. They're put to the test on your lips – from drinking to wiping your mouth – so if the lipstick stays on through all that, it's bound to tint your cheeks all day long as well.

Make your mascara last
Water-resistant mascaras are the easiest way to avoid dreaded raccoon eyes. But if you find long-wearing formulas irritating, here’s
a simple trick for you, sweep a clear mascara over your regular black one on your top lashes to seal the colour, and use only clear on your bottom lashes. It's a tip for those who get irritated by waterproof mascaras.

Brighten your eyes
It's time to lighten up. Smudge deep copper eye shadow all over your lids for a summery take on smoky eyes. Or use shimmery golden pink for a softer look. This way, you'll add light to the eyes. Pick a long-wearing cream-to-powder
eye shadow in a glimmering shade, like Shiseido Makeup Shimmering Cream Eye Color in Mist, to brighten and define your eyes.
Kiss heavy lipstick good-bye
Bright stains and tinted balms, offer a healthy hint of colour for summer. But if you desire that “popsicle look”, then tap on a bright, deeply pigmented lipstick with your finger, blot, then repeat until you reach your desired intensity.
