7 tips om de hitte te verslaan
Here in Amsterdam, it's currently pouring down from the sky, so I'm curious where that sun is going to come from. But. According to the forecasts, we're heading for a tropical weekend where we also want to look good. So preferably no sweat drops on the forehead and definitely no running mascara or lipstick smudges on the cheek. No, we want to strut like a peacock along that boulevard. 7 tips to survive the heat, but above all, to be pretty powerful. Oh, and if it does rain, they are of course handy too.
1. Invest in a primer
To ensure long-lasting make-up in very warm weather, a good base is important. This means you need to invest in a good sunscreen, but then a thin layer of a make-up primer. This smooths the skin, fixes the make-up better, and ensures that everything stays in place all day.

2. Conceal imperfections
With a base layer, you conceal imperfections. That's good, but what's even better is that it contains SPF. This way, you're also protected in the sun. Best of both worlds.

3. Base
Of course, you don't want to appear like a ghost on a terrace. So a gel powder is nice to even out and create a sunny tint. This one from CHANEL is perfect for that. It's partly a gel, partly powder that is very soft and enriched with colored and iridescent pigments, giving you a velvety glow all day long.

4. Liner on the eyes
With an eyeliner, you instantly create an open look, as it brings even the most sunken eyes forward. Quite nice if you've accidentally fallen asleep on the beach and then get up with a sleepy head.

5. Lips
The lips. Some ladies can't do without color on their lips, and let's be honest, it does give an immediate striking effect. With these products, you can safely take a dive, or drink a lot of wine, um, water, because it doesn't smudge and stays on all day.

6. Eyelashes
Perhaps the first thing we can't do without. Mascara. And preferably mascara that can withstand a splash of water.

7. Finishing Touch
A fragrance is lovely. And if you do start to smell a bit due to the warm weather, then preferably something nice, right? Actually, wearing Eau de Parfum in the sun is a no-go, but this one from Lancaster is specially developed so that it can. So go for it. Everyone will be a lot happier.
