Rising temperatures are heading our way and our wardrobes, hair and even makeup routines need to transition to accommodate the weather change.

Opt for a tinted moisturizer.

This is the first and most important rule.

It should have an SPF of 15 or higher.

A lighter alternative to your normal foundation, a tinted moisturizer offers two benefits: protection against damaging UV rays and the ability to even out your skin tone.

Natural makeup is the most flattering during the summer months, allowing your sun-kissed cheeks to shine through.

Use a primer

Primers do exactly what the name suggests: They prime or prepare your face for makeup. But, more importantly for summer, they keep your makeup where it’s supposed to be, as opposed to sliding down your face the moment you step outside.

Don't forget to apply primer before your tinted moisturizer.

Many women don't see primer as a necessity for their everyday lives, but I assure you you'll be hooked once you start using it

Fight the shine.

Sweating is inevitable in the summer.

While there's no escaping it, you also don't have to surrender to it.

You can battle the sheen with antishine powders: translucent powders that will soak up your shine and re-mattify your face

Keep your lips smooth

Keeping your kisser pouty and plump can be a task in the summer.

Lips can burn just like the rest of your skin, and nothing hurts worse than cracked, chapped lips.

You can go the traditional Chapstick route, or you can opt for a lipstick with SPF.

That way, you can rock a natural nude or perfect pink without the fear of sun damage.

Waterproof mascara

This one is for the ladies who know all too well the feeling of diving into the pool looking fabulous, only to surface with dark, drippy "raccoon" eyes.

Mascara is the worst culprit when it comes to streaky makeup.

Opting for a waterproof mascara puts those worries at bay.

Mist Yourself

A soothing and cooling face mist is the perfect way to awaken your thirsty skin midday and refresh your makeup.

Try a mixture of roses and aloe is so refreshing that you'll wonder how you survived without it.

Just a spritz or two makes you feel like a new woman!
