Be a Beach Beauty: Tips for Summer Hair and Skin

Melt-Proof Makeup

Keep your face looking fresh even on the steamiest days with these secrets from Mathew Nigara, a N.Y.C. New York Color makeup artist.

Make Lip Color Last
Toss the goopy glosses. Instead, opt for a long-lasting stain, like Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain by ColorStay ($8.99, drugstores). It has a balm on one end for when you need a burst of moisture.

Go Easy on the Eyes
Prevent the raccoon look by pairing a waterproof mascara, like CoverGirl LashBlast Length Waterproof Mascara ($7.29, drugstores), with a smudge-proof shadow. A new one: Avon SuperShock Vivid Liquid Eyeshadow ($7, avon.com).

Glow for It
Get a healthy flush by dabbing a gel blush on your cheeks with a sponge. Try NARS Multiple Tint ($38, narscosmetics.com), which is bright yet translucent for a lit-from-within pop of color.
