If you are reading this, you are probably feeling the summer heat and looking for ways to keep your makeup from melting off your face!  Here is a post I did a couple of summers ago. I have some great sweat proof makeup tips that work for special occasion makeup for a wedding or prom, everyday summer makeup and vacation makeup as well.  I'm getting ready to do makeup for another  summer  outdoor wedding this coming weekend and I'll be using these techniques to keep the bride looking fresh and beautiful all day long in the summer heat!
