Look Scorching Hot With These Makeup Tips

As approaching to the hottest season, we start to worry what make up to put on as we might sweat and ruin our make up embarrassing ourselves. Coming from Hyderabad as my home town I know the heat what every woman in the city goes through summers .But don’t you worry I am here to help to knowing some tips about make up in summers…

Let me start off introducing myself…I am Pehal Ahuja Bangalore based make up artist, I was very passionate  on doing make up from the time I got married and finally I got a professional training under well known make up artist Sabrina Suhail which gave me lots of confidence in pursuing this field (career).

My friends, relatives and Brides ask for an advice on what make up to wear in this heating up summer which would not look cakey and more or less sweat proof…So here are few questions which might run into your mind

1. What is the best make up in summer?

2. Should I wear waterproof, mineralized or regular base?

3. What colours are in? and so on….

So, let’s start with lesson 1. Which is the base of everything “keep your skin Hydrated” . Have lots of water, lemon soda or any of your favourite juice which will help your skin to be healthy and you will get a natural glow..

Next step is take a good care of your skin by using 3 basic steps

* Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing

Clean your face regularly not just with water but cleansing cream which will remove all the impurities of the skin .Tone your skin with a tonner that will help your skin pores to hydrate. Lastly, moisturize your face depending on what type of skin you have-oily, dry, normal.

Do not forget to use a sun block one of the essentials for protecting your skin from the harmful uv rays from the sun, Those who have very oily skin do not hesitate to invest in a good primer as a base, it helps to tone down the oil from the skin Inglot and Mac has very good primers.


Choose your foundation wisely; try one colour close to your skin tone on one side of your face and try another on the other side, go out in sun and check which looks the best as natural light is the best light to judge your make up. I would recommend my personal favourite Mac match master or loreal and Revlon are also good brands to invest in.

Mineralising ones are very good for summers it soaks in and doesn’t give a cakey look. Look for a foundation which is like all in one concealer, compact and foundation. As for the blush go in for a cooler shades, preferably powder based as creamy ones might make your face look oily. Pink would be the best to invest for a long term basis, u can go in for a matte one for regular use and shimmer

for any special occasion. This you could buy from any good brand without burning your pocket


As for make up there is no fixed trend of colours you should always wear what you are comfortable in but there is no harm in trying something new. If  you are a person  who likes to be subtle then you can go for some warm colours of baby pink beige golden  for eyes  and little darker on the lips. If you are a person who likes to experiment with make up you can play around with pinks, blues or even black but make sure you highlight any one part of your face either your eyes or your lips. BLUE is the colour for summers, U can experiment with that colour blending it with some beige in the inner corner and blue on the outer corner, this look can be carried off for day as well as night make up. U can even try blue smoky look which goes well for partying. Play off with different shades of pinks ranging from rani pink to fusia pink for your lips. Complete your look with a nice liner or a kajal with mascara preferably waterproof. Lakme eyekonic is economical as well as waterproof.

Essentials in your purse:

* Do not forget to carry your compact everywhere, you could use it as a touch up anywhere everywhere, lipstick and kajal are your back up.

* Blend each any every type of product which you use on your face. Remember makeup doesn’t mean you should possibly show the world u have some on..
