The summer is here which means it’s the perfect time to plan fun-filled activities! Whether you've got a few date lined up or a girl's night out, you've got to make your summer look cool, comfortable and collected. We all know that there are going to be times where it'll be too hot to wear heavy makeup all over our faces and this couldn't be any truer when it comes to the eyes. With that being said, here are four summertime eye makeup mistakes to avoid when things start to get hot!
1. Thick Eyeliner
If you're battling hot temperatures during a summer's day or your nerves from a date, avoid thick eyeliner. The reason behind this is due to the fact that your eyeliner might begin to drip and the moisture from your face could make it worse. If your eyeliner begins to smear and drip, you'll end up looking like you've been crying. If anything, sparingly apply a thin amount around the eyes and you'll be good to go!
2. Drooping Cat-Eyes
It's without a doubt that the cat-eye look is popular but you don’t want to apply this styled eyeliner the wrong way. Unfortunately, some who have attempted this look draw the swooping flair extending pass their eye in a downward line. This is not the right way to do it because it'll make your eyes look droopy, smaller and tired. To properly get the cat-eye look, draw the line upwards when you extend pass the eye, towards the temple. After you've gotten the eyeliner properly positioned, use complementing cat-eye makeup to enhance the entire look.
3. Glitter Overload
Every now and then you may want to use a sparkly eyeshadow to give your eyes additional glimmer. However, since it is the summer, all that shine could be your own worst enemy! Days and nights will be humid and due to your body's natural tendency to sweat, the extra moisture can make have that glitter stick to other parts of your face if you're not careful. To avoid a sparkle overload, use small amounts of glitter eye shadow because it'll still make your eyes pop – it's all about quality not quantity.
4. Don’t Sleep With Eye Makeup On
Sleeping with a face full of makeup is a big mistake for a number of reasons. First, it makes it that much harder to remove the next day and it isn't doing your skin any favors. Second, when its warmer outside, you pores tend to be larger than normal which means all that makeup can clog your skin which isn't healthy. Right before you head off to bed, be sure to wash your face to rid your skin of any product that has the potential of clogging your pores.
