My summer skin care and makeup routine is always much different in summer (I live in Greece and here summer actually lasts about 6 months). I always have my tips and dos because my skin is really oily and needs extra care especially when its hot and sunny outside.

Use light and fresh moisturizing cream for daytime and never forget to apply it before you have your makeup done. That will help you feel fresh, make your skin smooth and your foundation will apply much better and give you more natural effect.

Always use SPF protection especially for your face. Choose at least 30 SPF protection because your skin is very sensitive and a lot of sun age skin faster and no one wants it for sure. Apply it after your moisturizing cream or even mix them together for better effect (and if you are as lazy as me).
3. PERFECT SKIN
In summer especially in daytime it's better to avoid heavy foundations. I really like to use a BB cream instead of it because it's lighter. I also choose one for oily skin and with SPF protection so i can skip the STEP2 and save time. But if you can't imagine yourself without foundation choose oil free one for your summer make up routine. Also don't forget to choose the right shade because your skin color changes in summer so the one that you use in winter won't work.
4. CORRECTING
For my blemishes and breakouts I always use a creamy concealer that matches perfectly my skin tone. I just put a small amount on the places that i want to cover and press it gently with my fingers to blend it until it gets invisible but still cover the imperfections. After I always apply a setting powder to avoid any extra glow and set my foundation and concealer. They will stay on much longer that way. I also reapply it during the day so that is the product that I always have in my bag.

Try not to use heavy and dark products for your eyes and eyebrows in hot weather especially in daytime. Prefer nude and light eyeshadows and point on a good mascara. Find good color for your brow pencil and just cover any gaps they have, brush them gently to smooth the product and set everything together with eyebrow gel.

6. COLOR
Nice tip for summer is to apply your lipstick instead of blush (I use craving coral from Maybelline New York). Put few dots on your cheek apples and blend it with your fingers or a brush. That will give your skin natural glow and color and also that wonderful sunkissed look we all want.
7. THAT LIPS
I prefer to use small amount of red lipstick on my lips that I blend with my fingers for very natural effect. Also nice choice is to use nude colors like beige or pink. You can also just apply a lip gloss for fuller and fresh lips effect.
It's always a perfect choice to "invest" in natural beauty in hot summer days. If you feel fresh and light, you for sure feel better than having 1kg of makeup on your face and live with that fear of melting outside.
