Summer Face 101
Don’t let the heat melt your makeup away. Hollywood makeup artist Rachael Kennedy shares her tips for getting the perfect summer face in 3 easy steps.
Get perfect glowing skin with Lori Hart Mineral Foundation. It’s sweatproof, absorbs oil, and comes in SPF 28-32 to protect skin from the sun. “This is the best mineral makeup I’ve ever used,” says Kennedy. “It’s much finer milled, so it goes on smoother and you don’t have to reapply.” Apply with a powder brush and you’re done. Kennedy recommends dipping a wet concealer brush into mineral powder and applying to dark circles or spots for extra coverage. LoriHartMinerals.com, $35.
