Summer is well underway and I hope you’re prepared for it! Now is the time to give your makeup bag a serious makeover and assess what your complexion needs for smudge-proof, sweat-resistant summer skin.
Prescriptives Director of Color Artistry, Jillian Veran, has some tips for quickly creating an easy look using a few key Prescriptives products. The price is good and the ingredients are good for your skin, so what do you have to lose?
- Stay protected and hydrated with the All Weather Friend Daily UVA/UVB Skin Protection SPF 40 over a lightweight moisturizer like All you Need + SPF 15 Continuous Action 24 Hour Moisture. While you might think your skin doesn’t need as much moisturizer in the summer, think about how parched you are if you don’t have water…then remember your skin!
All Weather Friend
- Instead of using makeup to create a tan (gross!), apply Good in Bed Skin Restoring Night Moisturizer to your face and neck every night before bed. While you’re sleeping, a hint of self tanner is working some magic on your skin so you wake up with a natural looking glow of color.
Good In Bed
- Pick products that hold up in humidity like All Skins Mineral Makeup SPF 15, which is suitable for all skin types and highly resistant to sweat, humidity and excess oil.

- Be cautious and careful when applying your makeup and always err on the side of less is more. Too much makeup can trigger excess oil, which is the last thing you need on a hot summer day. Skip foundation and use a water resistant formula like Site Unseen Brightening Concealer SPF 15, which covers imperfections and won’t smudge or cake.

- Have fun with textures and vibrant shades on your cheeks, eyelids and lips. Try one of the new U-Pick Exhilarating Eye Colors (Plum and Colbalt are especially cheeky!) and pair it up with Calyx Exhilarating Lip Gloss in Mango, Guava or Pink Grapefruit.

- The words “water resistant” aren’t really optional during the summer months. Pick makeup that doesn’t require constant touch-ups. Line your eyes with creamy, pure pigment Deluxe Eye Pencil then apply Here to Stay 24 Hour Longwear Mascara to complete the effect!
