Craving a glow up for summer? We’ve rounded up the best hot weather beauty tips for even the most humid summer days. While hot, sunny days at the beach and spending more time outdoors may be nice, there’s no denying that the heat and humidity can wreak havoc on your makeup and hair. Oily skin, melting foundation, and frizzy strands are just some of the summer beauty blunders we have to deal with. Not this summer, though! With these tips, you’ll be looking your best all season long.
9 Hot Weather Beauty Tips Every Girl Needs to Know
1. Do Double Duty with Deodorant
Deodorant becomes a multi-purpose product in the summer. Apply a powder deodorant (not gel) to the back of your neck and on your hairline to avoid sweating. Do this if you’re going to be out and about all day in the sun. You can also do this 10 minutes before you’re going to be blow drying your hair, as we all know how sweaty the hair drying process can be, especially in the summer. This will keep you from sweating.
2. Reapply UV Protection with a Powder Sunscreen
Sunscreen is a must all year round, but it’s especially important in the summer. Since we tend to sweat more in the summer, more sunscreen diligence is needed. When you’re out in the sun, you should be reapplying sunscreen every two hours or every time you come out of the water, whether it’s the pool, ocean, or lake. A powder sunscreen is perfect for this. Use the Supergoop (Re)setting Mineral Powder with SPF to mattify shine and reapply your UV protection in one swoop!
3. Use Multi-Tasking Makeup
Multi-tasking makeup products are super convenient for the summer months. They help you save time and use fewer products, which is especially beneficial if you’re travelling. With monochromatic looks like strawberry makeup continuing to trend, multipurpose products like the e.l.f. Monochromatic Multi Stick are a no-brainer. You can use this cream-to-powder product on your cheeks, eyes, and lips- it’s perfectly lightweight for summer.
4. Apply Dry Shampoo at Night
Instead of using dry shampoo in the morning, spritz it on your roots the night before to absorb excess oil and sweat by the time you wake up. Giving dry shampoo more time to work will give you better results and help you look more refreshed in the morning.

Wearing makeup when it’s hot and humid outside can be a struggle. In this step-by-step guide she gives you her best tips and techniques to apply makeup during summer. From how to prep your skin to how to set your makeup so it lasts all day, this is a tutorial you don’t want to skip. She also recommends a number of products, including the Exa High Fidelity Foundation, the Milk Highlighter in ‘Lit’, and the Rare Beauty Eyeshadow Primer.
6. Less is More
When it comes to wearing makeup in the summer, less is more. The more natural you can go, the better as a full face of makeup can feel heavy and may melt in the summer sun. Keep your makeup light- after applying your skincare and SPF, follow up with a tinted moisturizer or BB cream. If you need more coverage, look for a lightweight foundation such as the Revolution Skin Silk Serum Foundation that you can build up. Add some L’Oréal Lumi Glotion for a natural-looking glow.
7. Blot Away
Blotting papers are super helpful when the temperature starts to rise. Not only should you use them throughout the day to blot away excess oil and sweat to keep your makeup looking fresh, they’re also great for lipstick. Dab your lips with blotting paper after applying lipstick or a lip pencil. This will help prevent colour bleeding and fading. Blotting papers are designed to absorb oil, so they’ll leave behind a perfect stain of colour.

She recommends products like the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturizer, the NYX Pore Filler Blurring Primer, and the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. If your face gets overly oily or sweaty in the summer, this tutorial is for you!
9. Get Acquainted with a Faux Tan
Faux tans are great because you get the look of bronzed, sun-kissed skin without the UV damage. If you want tanned skin for summer, there are a couple of ways to go about it. Your first option is to get professional spray tans– you’ll likely need to get one every seven to 10 days as that’s their typical fade time. Getting your tan done by a professional is always a treat, but of course, more costly. You can also give yourself a faux spray tan at home. Use a bronzing mousse with a mitt or self tanning drops for a gorgeous sun-less glow.
