How to keep makeup in the heat: fashionistas share an effective life hack
Foundation and powder can float within minutes of application, spoiling your flawless look.

Summer is not only a time of heat, but also of new beauty problems. Foundation and powder can shed within minutes of application, spoiling your flawless look.

Of course, the best solution on hot days is to avoid foundation and use only a cream with SPF 30+ instead. However, if you need long-lasting makeup for an important event, here's a somewhat unusual life hack from American reality TV star Olivia Atwood.

Deodorant instead of primer

Atwood recommends using a stick deodorant (not liquid, but with a waxy composition) for better makeup fixation. Do not apply it to the entire face, but only to the area above the upper lip or in other areas where makeup tends to roll off.

Important warnings:

  • This life hack is not recommended for daily use, as deodorant can clog pores.
  • Deodorant does not replace primer, but only slightly prolongs the durability of makeup.
  • Wax deodorants are not suitable for all skin types.

Alternative life hacks:

  • Use waterproof foundation and mascara.
  • Apply makeup to moisturized, but not oily skin.
  • Fix makeup with a special spray.

Remember that the most important thing is to take care of your skin. A healthy and radiant complexion cannot be hidden under a thick layer of makeup.
