Choosing the Right Summer Makeup
When the heat is on, your makeup needs to work with the weather, not against it. Summer beauty is all about keeping things light, fresh, and fuss-free—so let’s talk about how to build a makeup routine that stays flawless no matter how high the temperature climbs.
Start with the perfect foundation. For hot weather, you want something breathable and lightweight—think tinted moisturizers, BB creams, or foundations labeled “oil-free” and “non-comedogenic.”
Bonus points if they have SPF (because who doesn’t love extra sun protection?). Look for formulas that promise sweat resistance to keep your base from sliding off midday.
Next up: waterproof everything. Whether you're dancing at an outdoor party or just strolling through the park, waterproof makeup is your best friend. A good waterproof mascara and eyeliner will resist smudging, even through sweat and humidity – guaranteed good eye makeup!
And if you’re really on the go, a waterproof brow gel can work wonders—though if you’re more of a low-maintenance girl, Nanna’s cosmetic tattoo services (like her signature waterproof brows, eyeliner, and lip blush) might just be your ultimate sweat proof makeup summer hack.
Keep it natural! Summer is the time to let your skin breathe. Stick to multi-use products like creamy blushes and tinted lip makeup balms that double as cheek colour. Add a touch of bronzer and a dewy setting spray, and you’re good to glow.
The goal? Radiant, sun-kissed skin with minimal effort and max confidence.
Summer Skincare and Makeup
A flawless summer makeup look starts way before you pick up your brushes—it begins with skincare. Glowy, healthy skin makes everything sit better and last longer, especially when the sun’s blazing.
Let’s talk about sunscreen!
If there’s one product you cannot skip in summer, it’s SPF. Not only does it protect your skin from sun damage, but it also helps your makeup stay even and smooth. Choose a lightweight sunscreen specifically made for the face—ideally one that’s matte or gel-based so it won’t mess with your base. Layer it under your foundation or BB cream for a look that’s both gorgeous and protected.
Hydration is key.
Use a summer skincare routine that focuses on lightweight moisturizers, hydrating mists, and non-greasy serums. This helps your skin stay plump without feeling sticky, and it preps your face beautifully for makeup.
And if you love that dewy, glowy finish (who doesn’t?), try mixing a bit of liquid highlighter with your moisturizer or foundation for a lit-from-within look. Just be sure to lock it all in with a setting spray—especially one made to handle humidity. Plus, you can look into using tinted moisturizer!
Nanna’s tip?
Keep your base minimal and focus on enhancing your features instead. Her clients love how her cosmetic tattoos—like lip blush and eyeliner—cut down on summer touch-ups and still look effortlessly polished. Fewer products, more time to enjoy the sunshine? Yes, please.

Setting and Protecting Your Summer Makeup
We’ve all been there—spending time perfecting our makeup, only for it to melt off by noon. But don’t worry, there are ways to lock in your look and keep it fresh, even during the hottest summer days.
Let’s talk about setting sprays
A good makeup setting spray is basically your final shield against heat, humidity, and sweat. It acts like a lightweight seal over your makeup, keeping everything in place while still letting your skin breathe.
For summer, go for setting sprays with a matte or dewy finish depending on your vibe—either way, it’s your best friend for long-lasting glam at outdoor events, beach parties, or all-day errands. If you are not a fan of setting sprays, you can also check out using setting powder or translucent powder!
Want your makeup to survive the summer heat?
Start with thin base makeup layers. Apply your products in light, buildable amounts to avoid cakiness. Use a primer before foundation, and opt for cream-based products like blush and bronzer—they tend to last longer and blend more naturally into skin. Setting powders help, too, especially around oily zones like your T-zone.
Planning to be out in the sun?
Keep blotting papers or a compact powder in your bag for quick touch-ups, and avoid touching your face too much. And remember—sometimes the best way to beat the heat is by embracing minimalism. A soft lip tint, feathered brows, and subtle glow go a long way.
Conclusion
Summer months are all about feeling free, glowing from within, and making memories without worrying about constant touch-ups. By switching to lightweight, sweat-proof products and focusing on skincare, you can create a beauty routine that not only looks good but also keeps up with your sunny adventures. From beach trips to balmy nights out, the right makeup (and the right prep!) can make all the difference.
And if you’re dreaming of a truly low-maintenance but high-impact summer look, don’t forget—Nanna’s cosmetic tattoo services have you covered. Her signature ombre brows, eyeliner tattoos, and lip blush are perfect for girls who want to wake up looking effortlessly fresh every single day. Summer beauty just got a whole lot easier—and a lot more fun.
So go ahead, enjoy the sunshine and let your natural glow shine through!
