Whether you’re a minimalist or a makeup-pro your secret weapon will be a multipurpose base. Using primers that help hydrate and keep shine away are key. Begin with a radiant primer like Glamsquad's Morning Glow Radiant Face Primer, which features aloe leaf juice to cool skin and keep it hydrated. Pay special attention to apply on the "hot spots" of the face – under the eyes, forehead, nose, chin and upper lip – in order to help keep shine at bay.

Once you’ve applied your face primer, feel free to be the artist you desire by using foundation or simply a bb cream. After you have completed your makeup look, it's time to make sure you create a sweat-proof canvas.

 Must-have setting spray for the summer 

Kelli advises in the sweaty summer months, setting your makeup is a must, but choose a product that won't leave your skin feeling heavy or sticky. Instead, finish your makeup with three to four mists of Ah-Mazing Makeup Refreshing & Setting spray, which features a soothing combination of coconut water and chamomile in order to create a fresh look that will look "just applied."

Whether you’re an everyday makeup guru or a naturalista, these two products are a summer must-have.
