It is freakishly hot in the UK this week! I use something called an Aqua sponge when putting on my foundation. I know Boots sell them. It's just a small round make-up sponge
I run it under cold water until it is all soft and the squeeze off the excess so it is just a bit damp. Then apply a little foundation to the sponge and sweep it over my face. The cold water keeps my skin fresh and the sponge leaves no streaks at all. Hope I helped!

Hi! I live in Spain and wear make-up, even when it's (very) warm. The trick is not only to change to other make-up when it's hot, but also to other day and night cream: you might have to switch to something "lighter", which does hydrate your skin but gets totally absorbed. When it gets hot, I change my foundation as well: oil free and "lighter". At the moment I am using Astor's anti-shine foundation for normal to oily skin, which is oil-free, gives a matt finish, doesn't dry my skin and lasts the whole day. It doesn't clog up the pores or give me acne either! I like my make-up to look natural, especially in the summer, so instead of blusher I use a little bronzing powder (like Maybelline's Terra Sun) on my cheeks, and a tiny bit on my forhead, nose and chin: this way I look like I have a bit of a sun tan and fresh and natural. If you want to use eyeshadow, try Maybelline's Cool Effect cooling cream eyecolor: it takes some practice to get it on properly (I use a cotton tip), but it doesn't run when it gets hot and looks great.
One more thing: if you normally style your hair with a dryer just before you put on your make-up, you get quite hot which makes it harder to get your make-up right. First I put on my moisterizer, then I do my hair. After this I take take a break and do something else, then when I have cooled down and the moisterizer has been totally absorbed, I put on my make-up. It really works!!

In the summer, I don't use any liquid any kind of makeup. It will only run away as you sweat. Try a powder, either just a pressed powder with some color or a powder foundation (like Bare Minerals, I love it because it really does not move, but there are also other powder mineral foundations that might be good). The powder will help absorb your sweat and keep you from getting all shiny instead of running away as you sweat. Of course, if you sweat enough even this won't work, but it is way better than liquid foundation in the heat.

Okay...you need to use a "primer" under your foundation. A primer is a silicone based product that allows your makeup to adhere and float, if you will, over your face. If you have large pores, any signs of wrinkles this is a miracle product. Laura Geller makes this product as well as Smashbox. Go on line to find them. If you are a teen or in your 20's I would suggest a dual coverage powder such as Mary Kay offers. You can wear it as a powder or wet a sponge and use it for a little more coverage. This is the product I use everyday. You might also try blotting papers for oily skin. Apply makeup in front of a fan and after you have dried your hair. Good luck! www.laurageller.com www.smashbox.com

Try using that Magicool on your face first (you can buy it in Boots, Superdrug and other supermarkets). Then after you apply your foundation, carry around a pressed powder with you, with a powder puff so you can blot off the excess oil.
I get it too. I went out last night with a really shiny nose!

Hi Angel,
What you need is a water based foundation, rather than an oil based one.
As the temp goes up the oil in the foundations melts.
Water based is the way to go!
You can find these products in Boots, Superdrug.
Hope to of helped!

How about instead of foundation wearing tinted moisturiser instead? If you dont have any, my best mate showed me a trick - take a blob of moisturiser and add a bit of your foundation into it - sorted! Def dont think you need foundation in this weather, your skin will get clogged and sore if youre too hot.

At the mo' im going without makeup....well mearly, and believe me, its unheard of!.....
Best thing for your face/complexion is a fake tan, as it seems to smooth flaws out.
Then you just need a tiny bit of bronzer on your cheeks, a slick of waterproof mascara and a smudge of lipbalm.
If your going somewhere you can wear your shades all day then go without mascara too

Store your foundation in the fridge for a few minutes before applying
