The Outdoor Woman’s Guide to Makeup
Even outdoorsy girls want to look cute during their all-day hikes, mountain bike rides, and paddle boarding sessions. And there’s nothing wrong with wearing makeup on your adventures if that’s how you roll—the right products can even protect and hydrate your skin while you’re on your next adventure. That said, do what works best for you and what makes you feel the most comfortable while getting after it in the great outdoors.
The main goal is to carry out your activity without your makeup sweating off, so choosing lightweight summer makeup is probably your best bet. If you really love the outdoors and the creatures in it, you’ll go with a cruelty free makeup line that does not test their products on animals. It only makes sense. Here are a few other tips for the makeup-wearing outdoorswoman to keep in mind before her next outing.
The Night Before: Prep Your Skin for Adventure
You can wake up with radiant skin on the morning of your big outing with a little bit of planning. The night before, apply a product such as a brightening overnight mask to your clean face and neck before going to sleep. Look for a formula that restores moisture and rejuvenates the skin while you rest, so that you can wake up with a smooth, bright, and hydrated complexion. A powerful overnight mask should contain vitamin C to even out skin tone and provide powerful antioxidant protection. To further hydrate and plump the skin, look for hyaluronic acid as an ingredient. An overnight mask is an easy way to wake up feeling fresh-faced and ready to go.
The Next Morning: Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize, SPF
When you wake up, rinse off your overnight mask with a gentle cleanser, then use a toner and apply a moisturizer before putting on your makeup. Taking care of your skin is just as important as the makeup you apply to your face. After all, your makeup will work better on skin that’s treated with TLC.
CC Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 35
Instead of wearing a full-coverage foundation that’s likely to slide off your face in the heat, go with a multitasking color-correcting cream. A high-quality CC cream can do everything you want it to do. Choose an oil-free formula that’ll work like an upgraded version of tinted moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF 35. The best CC creams will act as a primer, foundation, concealer, moisturizer, and sunscreen all in one. A buildable CC cream allows you to use one pump to cover your face for more sheer coverage (which would be similar to wearing it as a daily face moisturizer with SPF). For more coverage, use two or three pumps. Just make sure the CC cream you select contains broad spectrum SPF so you’re protected from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Waterproof Eye Makeup
To avoid the dreaded raccoon eyes, be sure to invest in a high-quality waterproof eyeliner pencil. Heat and humidity can cause eye makeup to run into your eyes, which could irritate them. Choose a product with high-performance vegan ingredients that won’t smudge or irritate your eyes, such as jojoba oil, sodium hyaluronate, and ceramide 3. These ingredients will also hydrate and condition lids and lashes.
Lip Protection
Choose a creamy, hydrating lip color in pink or peach for a traditional summery look. Whether you’re opting for a matte liquid lipstick or more of a gloss, make sure the formula is hydrating and long-lasting so you can pay more attention to the adventure ahead instead of constantly reapplying.
Overall, try to keep your makeup simple and employ multitasking formulas that hydrate and protect so you’re able to have fun doing what you love outdoors and look good doing it.
