CC Beauty Live: Beat The Heat Makeup Edition

June 26, 2011     Posted in Beauty

Summer is the best time of year.  There are virtually no responsibilities (unless you’re stuck with classes or work), it’s always time for a margarita, the beach is calling your name and there are tons of hot, shirtless guys.  What’s not to love?  Oh yeah, the billion degree heat and the humidity!  While you can cool off with the beverage of your choosing, your makeup probably won’t last past noon if you’re out and about.

I’m outside for at least six hours a day working summer lacrosse camps in the sweltering Atlanta heat, so trust me when I say that wearing makeup is not my first priority.  But it’s my job to test products and figure things out for you fine viewers.  This week I’ve tried a combination of things to make sure what I put on was lasting all day.  And if I do say so myself, I did a pretty good job.  Really the trick is a good primer and finishing powder.  And not caking your makeup on.

Watch below for my tips, and hopefully they’ll prevent you from looking like a hot mess (pun intended).

    Hey Caitlin! I was wondering what tinted moisturizers you would recommend? I've always wanted to try one but I never knew what brand would work the best. Also, I love your nail polish! It's a very pretty color.

    I'm doing a post on HackCollege this week about how to beat the heat when it comes to pedestrian commuting. I'm also based out of Atlanta. Atlanta: we officially have the market cornered on summers.

    Great video!

    Hey Ange! I have a few, but my favorite drugstore brand would be Almay's Smart Shade tinted moisturizer and my favorite high end is by Laura Mercier. I also like Covergirl's CG Smoothers. Hope this helps!!

    My nail polish is Atomic Orange by OPI :)
